Guys using profile pics of anime girls is one thing, but...

But what about guys using profile pics of anime Boys? and I mean cute anime boys.

What's their endgame?

I have a profile pic with an anime guy. A cute one. So what?

On a different site I use a profile pic of Yu Narukami from Persona 4. Why?

Because he's best boi of course

Once, on a non-anime forum, someone randomly messaged me asking why I had an avatar of a female anime character. They were like, "I'm pretty sure you're a grown man." lmao...

Anyway, people tend to use avatars of characters they like. They don't have to be sexually attracted to them or whatever.

maybe they're cute like the anime boi in their pfp
ever thought of that, punk?

As others have said people tend to use avatars of characters that they like.

To provide an adequate representation of myself, of course. Though, regrettably, I have yet to find one cute enough.

So is there a problem with girls using cute girl pics as well?

But what about pictures of Mafuyu?

That statement of yours hurt my inner love for him...

I run into the same trouble, no anime boy properly encompasses my amazing personality coupled with my stunning looks.

What about having a cute anime girl profile pic but instead it's actually a cute anime boy?

Well, you have two school with chosing an avatar : either you chose something you like, either you chose something you identify to. It's the same explanation than guy playing chicks in online game.

It could be their favorite character.

I'm too macho for a cute female or male anime character to identify me. So it's just for fun.

I am deeply sorry to have hurt you Luchse. It is not because of his looks that I can't use his pictures, but because of his pure personality. It'd simply be giving myself too much credit.

My avatar represents myself, as my real name is Seiya.

Maybe you should check out Cautious Hero this season the protagonist is also called Seiya .

I appreciate the recommendation, but I don't think that Anime would be my cup of tea.

Indeed! I was about to say the same.

No, there isnt. After all, we do need more yuri.

If i see male chadacter i assume nothing.

Female character and i assume you just started watching anime last week or youre a "bisexual" who couldnt get a girl if he tried so youre stuck with gay men

It always made sense to me to use characters that I love regardless of gender. Maybe they just really like that specific character.

Explain this train of thought? Surely they would have a male character then?

Good man, your hair.

Besides, is there some rule that one should have an "anime avatar" — I, for one, have not.

They're just kinda boring to talk to.

Its just what ive seen over the years. A lot of these transgender types present themselves as sex obsessed women with penis, and regular yaoi anime seems to be a straight hetero female thing.

And then you see the gay guys on 4chanr9k who float between transgenderism and straight up shotacon and pederasty, theyre never talking about gakuen heaven or whatever

Bruh, idk, I used a profile pic of Kaguya Shinomiya months ago on Discord, my first and only time I do it.

Cuz i look quite similar to the picture im using.

Nothing's wrong with that? I don't mind changing my profile pic and avatar into some guys I like. Lelouch or Keima for example.

Just as my profile picture, either it's their favorite character on the series, or they find him cute. As for me is anime girls cuz I like big breasts and some thick thigh action or their personality I find them cute and attractive.

I'm completely fucking dead inside.

But, but... I don't even have the same haircut anymore :(

what's the point that you're trying to make

Forum pics are always to be seen as representative for the user behind. In my case I don't have a forum pic to represent the emptiness inside me.

Maybe they can relate to the character? Or just like the character's personality. I mean it's just a picture.

So what's it now? Compares it to mine?

It's impossible for my hair to compare to yours, no doubt about that.

You answered the first part of my quæstion not.

That's because, if you wanna know, you'll have to transfer a few euros to my paypal, I noticed I was missing a huge potential consumer market by sharing my beautiful face for free. As a master of capitalism, I'll no longer give away money.
I've been using a ponytail though

When you're playing a game, do you go and select a female character or a male? Let's say if that game was a dating sim. Would you end up choosing a male or female? Since if you're a male it's obvious you want your character to be male too. Hence, giving you a chance to interact with female characters.

who doesn’t like a cute anime girl though? cowards, that’s who

(or if you’re just really into guys, that’s valid as well)

People should start using picture from hentai instead.

boys are cute and just as worthy of love from us...smh

But what if the anime boy is literally just a portrait somebody drew of me (in an anime style) D:

Then they want to get some yaoi action.

Only boomers use male profile pics in

They're horny or homo.
Not complicated.

its understandable if its a battle shounen or if the character is so alpha and smart but without these justifications if the guy just use it for looks then imma have to give you the F word pass

Oh my cant wait to see the next thread about people who use pics of traps. Someone plz make one or Ill do it.

The hidden dimension-traveling anime girls who lurk MAL will be baited, of course.

Nothing wrong with appreciating art.
