Avatar is the first thing people online notice about you, you know? So which do you use?

I only really use waifu avatars with the exception of using oberon from sao once since he is hilarious.

Just like my current avatar, I tend to use pictures of myself.

For majority of time I use female characters whom I like. Outside that in MaL there were twice a situation when I wasn't using an anime girl. Once I was using my own real life picture with my gambeson on and my closed visored helmet on for buhurt. The second one was mainly for profile where I was using Ichigo Kurosaki from the Blade and Me chapter after the Forging/Smithing scene.

Usually one of Waifus and it's usually Junko Enoshima. I use her on MAL, Goodreads, MyWaifuList, MFC & PSN for my main account.

I use Rin Tokikaze as my smurf PSN account avatar.

I only use characters that are relevant to my interests, which are female 99% of the time.

...The 1% was Astolfo because of dat ass.

@JaniSIr Did you make her yourself?

Yes. Though all the mods used are publicly available, and I'm too talentless to use the vertex editor.

Very cool. I didn't want to bother with editor so I just used some presets from modders. These two are my favorite:



Though I did change some little things to them like hairstyle and such from time to time.

I'm a guy, and I can't remember any time, in recent memory, that I used a male character in any of my profiles.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

The only time I've ever used a male avatar was probably Kaiki for a few years, never use male avatars.

In terms of mmos and rpgs also always a female character, pretty sure in general it's more common for males to play female characters and females to play male characters.

Most Anime girls are typical schoolkids, so I'll probably have a really hard time picking any since I despise school-related vibes
As for male Anime characters, I dislike them and how they look in Anime and Manga (except for a couple of Manga related ones).

Back then I would use male characters for my avatars see my profile picture history blog but nowadays I prefer female characters because they're cute.

I usually use either my custom avatar or Mai Valentine from Yugioh
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

I'm a male. Here's somewhat of a checklist that I go through before making something my avatar/PFP:
  • Is it not embarrassing?
  • Is it relevant to me?
  • Do I like it?
I don't use waifus as profile pictures because I think it's embarrassing. No shame to people who do, though. It's just a personal preference since I worry too much about what others think of me.

Currently I'm in a Yotsuba PFP phase. I think she's really cute, funny and wholesome so I'm not embarrassed about it. And since I've read the manga and I like it, that checks the two other boxes.

There are some male anime or anime game characters I'd consider. But I haven't used a non-anime girl avatar anywhere in years. It would probably feel wrong at this point.

Unlike my profile Pic, I'm a dude and I use exclusively male characters..
As a matter of fact, my user name is the same name as the character I have as avatar..

And I always give this look to all the people I meet in real life..

I'm female and use female character on this site, or a game site, or as an in-game preferred character like in RPG or whenever a game let's me choose. In most other cases I use some weather/nature pic instead or none at all.

That said my MAL profile pic in particular is a character I like, not a character I associate myself with/identify as/want to be like/"waifu"/"husbando" or any other nonsense. Therefore it actually was Sebastian from "Kuroshitsuji"'s first season once upon a time) That was long ago though.



You have no avatar currently....so I don't know how to take this

I think women also tend to gravitate towards female characters. That's why in mmorpgs 99% of the characters are girls cuz everyone plays them hahaha

Poll numbers support this by the way. Apparently no one prefers male characters lol.
