Very true for me... sort of.

I know that you're a despicable person who doesn't treat the feline race as equals. Why can't the cat eat at the table? Why only humans? Racist.

Of course.

I typically judge a person by whatever information I have of them, so yes, I would say I sometimes judge someone by their choice in forum avatars.

It would help me form my first impression of that user.

I get past it once I see more posts from said user.

I'd say I don't judge by this source very often, but some avatars combined with their posts really help me on creating a mental image of the user. And this judgement is more often negative than positive, I don't really know why.

If the avatar is pornographic I presume that the user does not watch anime for the same reason I do.


Usually if the icon is really lewd or something I assume they're also there just to pick fights.

What did you say, baka? Eh? Eh? Say that to my face!

Seriously though, I need my Osaka back. So that people can assume 100% of the time that I'm not serious.

I definitely do.

Mostly because that's how I identify people on this site (because people keep changing their name all the time).

daintybiscuits should now have to judge everyone in the thread based on their avatar :|

Consciously, no. Subconsciously, probably.
I have no idea why and it's pretty stupid to do so, but I'm pretty sure I somewhat "judge" people by it (judge is a strong word though). But of course when I get aware of it I immediately drive it away.

No, not really. Unless its a horrible crop then I would be like "this guy's retarded".

But for some reason I do let the users avatar's affect the characters themselves for me.

Like I was watching Data a Live the other day and all I could think of was "PAUL PAUL PAUL PAUL" and "HOPPY HOPPY HOPPY". It was actually really fucking annoying but I couldn't help it.

Not really, unless said person has a naruto avatar (i.e an avatar consisting of the character naruto) then I just tend to avoid them because it just annoys me a lot.

I try not to, but I kind of do unconsciously. Still, I try not to let that judgement affect my treatment of him, so until the lad acts like a dick, I won't treat him like a dick (and no, a dick isn't just someone who bashed my favourite anime. That would be silly).

its ok, i kinda act like a guy. not really. hehe.

its not like i usually examine avatars and pass down judgement, its just that yesterday i saw one and it immediately struck me as.... ugh

thats when i thought up this totally awesome (please read as sarcasm) thread.
i do look at avatars and associate them with members, but theres no... disgust or anything

i often feel like a total douche in Rec forum because i'm so happy to say "Watch Berserk!!" and then i imagine the user looks at my rec, looks at my avatar, and says to themselves "duh, shut the fuck up" lol

Most likely if you want to know a new member. Their profile avatar can tell what kind of person he/she is :)

I don't judge, in fact I like seeing what people put as their avatars, it makes reading posts more pleasant because you have pics to look at when you scroll, some interesting, some aesthetically pleasing and others well.

I've always picked my avatar based on my hobbies/interests, but I'm always subtle about it, so most people that see it probably don't have a clue what it is. But for those die-hard fans who do notice, I hope to elicit a little smile. :>

I think of the avatar like the persons looks like a digital character in a virtual reality online game, this is the persona you create and the one people know you as regardless of who you are in the real world. You get to know their online persona/personality so when I think of a user I see their avi. Generally I find every avatar has an insight to who that person is, maybe their attitude. I will approach a person differently depending on their avatar I suppose.

I'm sorta curious how people judge me based on my avatar now.

Your avatar is the closest we have to your face, so as much as one would judge you by your face (and that is a whole lot, no matter how much we'd never admit), is how much they'd judge you by your avatar.

Which means everyone must think I'm a freak and a half! A berserker-packin' freak and a half!
Never forget, that if you post a topic, you're not allowed to post in it yourself, by order of MAL administration.
