I assumed not everyone would use their irl photo, but I thought maybe half would and half wouldn't but it seems about 95% use an anime photos.... I need clarification on why this is. I don't really take pictures of myself. |

| I'm really Killua in real life. |

| I like to look at things I like. Why would I look at a picture of myself on a forum when I could just look in a mirror? Also not narcissistic, and strangers don't need to know what I look like. |

| It's Myanimelist, as well as the fact I don't think a 225x350 picture would do a whole lot of justice of purging these horrible looks I feel I have >.> Now after seeing this I may actually change that if I can get a decent shot of myself that would fit =0 |
| It's common sense |
| Why should I? |
 |
| Because it is a website for animes and mangas not a dating sim blog or social media bullcrap like Facebook. |
 |
| because here isnt facebook |
| Because this is MAL not match.com |
 |
| because we want to remain anonymous obv |

| I did at first. Then I noticed everyone else used anime characters, thought it was pretty cool since it's an anime forum, then changed mine. |
| Because I'm hideous. |
 |
| I don't want my picture floating around on the internet |
