"Because they're adorable!"

Why else? They're obviously something they like therefore they associate themselves with that picture, as for me right now I don't even have an avatar :P But it will most likely be amazing when I finally get one.


Why not get one?

The only access to a computer I have right now is during my graphic design class, pretty much every picture I try to access is blocked in one shape or form by the school district, so until I fix my home internet connection I won't have one. Hopefully that will be soon.

I've thought about this, too. And I've noticed that it happens quite often that guys use a picture with a female and vice versa on their profile pictures. I guess it's as weird as seeing a guy wearing a dress while a girl be it in a dress or wearing trousers doesn't seem strange at all to me.

I'd say it's probably a form of idealism, just in the same way that anime doesn't accurately portray reality.

How you can say they're "grown men"?

Maybe they are little girls. And I'm an alien.

A typo is a huge error now? But it seems you missed the 2nd part of my post, do you actually have anything to say thats on-topic or have you run out of arguments?

so much ignorance here lol an avatar is just a display picture. having a picture of a girl or loli doesnt mean youre a pedophile or trying to impersonate a girl online. some people just like the picture or character

What would you rather they have?
Why do so many girls use men as their avatars?

I have an angry Sesshomaru avatar, even though I'm a girl. So that must mean that I'm very angry, I want to secretly fuck Sesshomaru and deep at heart I'm just like him. Which is a pretty cool thing since he's really awesome and he can wipe out everyone on this forum using only one hand !

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

This is a topic titled "Why do so many grown men use little anime girls as their forum avatars?"
You're not entitled to be called a grown men if you're not using anime little girls as avatars, it seems. Because most grown men use it nowadays, especially on MAL.

Probably or obviously because they're moe. Many otakus love moe characters.

But for me personally, I don't use Loli characters as my avatar because I'm not seriously into Lolis.

So if a guy that looks like he hasn't showered in a month shows up in front of you with an axe, you wouldn't judge him at all? It might be misleading, maybe he was chopping wood and got lost...

Simply because we think it to be a nice picture, and have therefore dedicated it as our Avatar.

It's not that complicated.
