| Hachiman for 14yo edgelords, Reinhard for 18yo that finally watched something good. Random loli or Suzumiya Haruhi for people with mean score lower than 5. |
| MHA deku or bakugou for the new fans/14 year old girls Demon Slayer for the 15-20 year olds who just started anime Haikyuu-Hinata for the "uwu" girls As person above me said, random loli/Suzumiya Haruhi for low score people. or, random loli for the 14 year old shy girls on mal. |
 |
| People with Edward Elric pfp. I’m not trying to generalise but I’ve seen a lot of users that have a holier than thou attitude. A good chunk also seem to live and die by the MAL rankings. I’d assume it’s because it’s one of the most popular anime so it has a large toxic minority or due to it being number 1 on the rankings. |
 |
| i find the ecchi guys to be the most obnoxious with their choice of avatar/signatures. the page is always on one of their posts when a family member looks at my computer screen every damn time the edgelords and the elitist don't bother me so much |
 |
| It may or may not be an old anime pfp, because old anime are the only good anime according to them. |
 |
| The classic uninterested Hachiman pic always has me preparing for the worst. Reinhard pics too, especially if he's drinking tea lol |
 |
BoshJ said: Definitely a Legend of the Galactic Heroes pfp or any old anime for that matter. They are the elitists with a 3.5 mean score who think they have better taste than everyone who enjoys seasonal anime and moe anime. ...or they just like old anime? Believe it or not, not all anime fans are interested in seasonals. |

Tbh I don't really mind pfp, I rarely go to ppl's profile and I think others too. But for forum signature and avatar, stricter rule, as in, a complete ban for anything even the slightest bit ecchi, including pics of boobs, half naked men/women, questionable/lewd poses/pics/gifs, etc XD |

| I never liked people with Edward or Johan pfp. They are manchildrens |
| LOGH dp peeps 100% lmao. A few are alright but you know it's probs not gonna be a fun discussion if they get involved |
 |
| I can't believe you didn't mention Johan. He's popular with the big brain elitists as well. ysphyr said: Anime userpics don't bother me at all. I only find half-naked rl pics to be obnoxious af. MAL needs to ban those, because I feel violated Those just scream 'i have sex guys look at me' |
 |
| Hachiman is a great character, fuck all of you. |
| Don't generalize like that. Everyone has their own subjective reasons for choosing their avatar. I've met both nice people and elitists with 8man profile pics. The moment you immediately dismiss someone just because of their profile pic and mean score, you're the closed-minded one. Give it a profile check or conversation before judging, at least. Also, why wouldn't people be able to have ecchi, as long as it's within community guidelines? For a lot of people, sexuality is a big part of their personality and demonizing that is kinda shitty. |
| People with a Johan pfp bore me to deathhhhh, with the exception of … Johan, lol |
| people with okabe or kurisu (from Steins;Gate) as pfp |

We’re talking about the elitists here, it’s fine if you don’t seasonals, but it’s those types of people that tend to say “anime was so much better in the 2000s!” Why do you think that someone who likes LOGH is an elitist? It's like saying that everyone who likes moe has a trash taste. Most people enjoy variety of different geners without focusing on just one. |

| look at those judgmental prick try to call other "obnoxious". lack of self awareness never stop to amuse me. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| The most obnoxious person profile picture is yours. yes, YOURS! Screw you, person reading this. |

| I find my picture to be the worst |

 |
| Most of the people I've met who had Lain Iwakura pfps were pretty pretentious. That was actually the only reason I started watching Lain at the beginning, I wanted to see if she is actually as arrogant as those people. |
you got the whole squad laughing   [/URL] |
| So many prejudice and intolerance for other people's taste here... I am proud of you guys! Will post my prejudice here than. When I see avatar with character from Naruto, Dragon Ball, Pokemon or similar I think to myself "Wow, someone couldn't move beyond his/her first anime and to this day searches for the same stuff.". |

| Anyone who uses real people as their avatar. |
 |
| The ones with hot guys/bishounen as pfp, they always make me dubious about my sexuality as if i didn't have enough problems to care about. |

| People really do have to much of free time, if you have the time to run around and hating on what x amount people have for profile picture, as most people are doing right now. |

| Hachiman and Lain. Shouldn't get into the habit of judging/dismissing people due to their PFP - even a Hachiman avatar could be a good person, and it's preferable to not assume negative until proven otherwise - but when I feel like being a dickhead, those two are what comes to mind. They're both like herds - the 8man avatars being cringy 15 year olds who think they understand how the world works better than anybody because "everyone is an asshole" and blame society for everything. It's annoying and whiny. Lain avatars are a bit more complicated, and at the same, significantly less so. I don't take behavior issues on an individual level very much. They rarely do anything cringy or harmful by themselves. But they're a fucking gestalt consciousness, I swear. There's always going to be a couple of them running around at some point, and they *will* have the exact same opinion on pretty much everything as their fellow Lain avatar cohorts and use the one of the three acceptable pictures for a Lain PFP. It is strange. Special mention to Aria avatars. They're rare, but I have noticed a tendency to just be cringy as shit. I feel like there's a pronounced tendency to really want to be seen a certain way with that fandom and laying it on *way* too thick, in a way that basically comes off as being a step short of getting on their hands and knees and, with tears in their eyes, pleading "PLEASE FIND ME INTERESTING." Same to an even rarer with Yokohama Shopping Log. There's a couple of individual profiles I like to point at for this example if I bring it up on Discord or somewhere, but I'm 'fraid of getting banned here. Kaiser-chan said: Anyone who uses real people as their avatar. This. God, this. I didn't even count it, but god it's so fucking true. They're worse than anything I've said above. It doesn't even matter who the real person is, if it's a philosopher or if it's some KPOP idol or whatever. The obnoxiousness can just be overwhelming. Super, pointlessly contrarian tendencies mixed with a nice degree of pretentiousness, toxicity, or just straight up both if they're feeling adventurous. If they're an academic, they're the type of academic to do the legendary Kant mic drop. Because they've read Kant. Have you read Kant? Then you clearly don't understand and aren't worth talking to. I've had the Kant mic drop happen to me with three different (presumably) 18 or 19 year old continental philosophy majors. If they're not an academic, they can just be *overwhelmingly* toxic in the most tantrum-y, idiotic and pathetic ways. It's that simple. I'd love to point to specific people here because that could paint the picture better, but, well, it is how it is. There's that one guy who pops up sometimes, Heldengeist. He has something resembling a real-person avatar, but I like him. I don't think I've ever seen anybody else with a real-person avatar that I didn't dislike. |

| Evangelion pfp posted by a 15/16 years old usually are the type of person in their existential crisis. There is also a character from HxH doing an angry face as a pfp, most commonly angry kirua. This one really want to start a fight. |
ShadowMonkey said: Also, why wouldn't people be able to have ecchi, as long as it's within community guidelines? For a lot of people, sexuality is a big part of their personality and demonizing that is kinda shitty. The funny part is that if you point out the tools people can use to not see this kind of stuff, like blocking the specific user or going in work mode in public, they won't use them most of the time and continue to complain in spite of that. The rules are already pretty strict, to the point where stuff like @Maneki-Mew complains about is pretty much the only stuff that's within the rules. I don't like using ecchi stuff in my signature or on my about me personally, but I'm pretty intimately familiar with the forum set rules given I used them as a form of advertising for my club with the whole custom-tailored club signatures thing H&E did in my term. I also, obviously, fully support people being able to do so. Lewdness is a big part of some people's online lives and personas, and it's better and easier to be able to express that in a place that's involved with that to the extent that anime is than elsewhere. We shouldn't get cornered off and have our stuff taken away to please people who already *have* tools to not see this stuff that they often just refuse to make use of, as well as our own strict rules we have to follow. You can't even have *liquids.* Not just liquids made to look like another, less SFW liquid, just a blanket ban on all *liquids.* |

Maneki-Mew said: I didn't complain that they are allowed to, didn't I? I just think a lot of ecchi (or ecchi pictures) is tasteless and kind of juvenile, but they don't have to. That doesn't mean you have to remove it, and I'm not too lazy and not petty enough to seriously complain that they should change rules or anything lol You didn't, and nowhere did I accuse you of anything like that. I just said the stuff you complained about is pretty much the only stuff actually within MAL's rules. Because that is the case. Not in an absolute sense, but in an easy to explain way, yes. Chill out. |

| Meme profile pictures or philosophers. Bonus if the person is under 20, of course only if it matches their style of posting. Usually cringe inducing. |

operationvalkyri said: @Manaban, I like how you said you didn't want to be judgemental and then made a long post doing exactly that lol. Guess you were feeling dickish. Tell me more about the work mode. I don't want to block ecchi pfps coz I still want to read their posts. Sure. If you're like me and tend to open MAL through your profile, it's really easy to change in public before you even access the rest of the site and have to risk seeing anything. Just go to your profile settings, under the forum tab, and boop. You can change it back at any time and all you need to do is open your own profile without going anywhere else on the site. It hides everything, but it's great for public. Changing it is easy, too. Last time we all had this knock-down drag-out about banning signatures, someone proposed a decent idea that could be fleshed out more - we ecchi fans could be allowed to have lewder signatures and looser rules, but in exchange, we'd basically tick a box that hides our signatures by default except to people who go to this tab and opt-in to seeing them themselves. Not ticking that box would place us in violation of the rules and it'd be bannable. I don't know about how *feasible* that is, but it is the most fair way I've seen proposed to really handle this without harming or favoring one or the other. --- Also, I'm always a judgemental dickhead :> That doesn't mean I'm being a good person tho, lol. Least I can do is note that it's not really justified. |

I guess you just don’t understand what I’m trying to say, and to be honest I don’t feel like even responding if you think I’m just hating of LotGH, because that’s not what I’m trying to do. Nope, it's not that I think you hate LOGH, I'm just curious to find out how can liking/disliking of one single anime define the entirety of one person's taste. |
