I noticed many users using anime pfp on websites, like Youtube, Steam and Reddit. Why is that the case? Could it because they like watching anime? I noticed 1/2 of Youtube users are using an anime pfp. I think everyone is watching anime, in 2025. How can people not like anime? I don't believe anyone dislikes anime. btw I use an anime pfp on other social media. Are you surprised by this?

All of my accounts use anime pfps though it varies on which character depending on website.
I use a smug Ilulu for my nsfw account on X. I use a smug Nep on yt. I also got a Nagatoro pfp for another nsfw account on X. On discord I use Sleepy princess.

I use the same as here, I dont know it is fully anime, but it goes in the same line.

And yea, I use it on all social media to be honest. Except maybe Instagram, but I barely use that platform to be fair.

@rohan121 having an anime pfp is not sus because anime is not illegal. Anime legal, of course.

On discord its an anime-style pfp 65% of the time, but that's the only other social media. It's currently the same one as my non forum myanimelist pfp, the robot. It's from an anime style album cover (the band itself has done some anime openings, but that's off topic lol), but not from an actual anime. I suppose reddit would count, i have a cursed version of a gunpla as my pfp

@MissHeed It's modded Skyrim.
Also Dragon Age Origins is from 2009, that looks really bad without some higher quality textures and postfx.

@JaniSIr That was my original guess.
I guess uncharted 2 and infamous are from 2009 they look amazing...if I remember correctly.

@MissHeed Before you declare such things, make sure you take off your rose tinted nostalgia glasses.
Technology improved a lot in the last 16 years.
While Dragon Age Origins has quite a few stunning designs, the graphical fidelity is inevitably going to be lacking.

Could it because they like watching anime?

This one. I'm also using a pfp of my favorite waifu on other social media (Youtube & Discord) so that's fine, not many people would ask about my pfp anyway.

There a reason why lol. Trying to be lore accurate :)

I do not use social media.
I had reddit but they banned me a few times because I do not hold back when trolls attack me, and I lost interest. It's also a quite shitty place.
Some people consider forums social media but I disagree.
Anyway, I like watching anime but I have long passed the age of using anime as profile pic, I'd do it only in a place like this. And even here, that dog is from a mega old cartoon.

Pretty much all of my social media accounts have anime profile pictures other than Instagram. However, I haven't used Instagram regularly in like a year or so, because why should I interact with people I know irl when I can interact with random people online?!

@Zakatsuki_ Depends on the culture Hispanic, Natives and Black people earlier for me. On average its 17 to 21 years old. They also more children. Average Mexican woman has 7 children 50 years ago, now its 5.

@Zakatsuki_ Few reasons why.

Birth control far easier to obtain.

Teenagers and younger adult have less sex than did before.

Tho Hispanic girls and black girls are still more likely to be teen moms than other groups.

Yes I do. I guess I still have an anime pfp on Facebook since I dont use it a lot. I changed my Insta pfp last year but before that I used to have an anime pfp.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.
