Users and their Avatars

I change my avatar too much for it to support my opinion.

After the NBA playoffs are over, I'm changing this one to something else.

Besides, prejudice is bad! You have to give them a chance to disappoint you!
 
I sometimes wonder what people think about me because of my rather colourful and unusual avatar. He's one of my favourite artists, though, and I really enjoy listening to his music.

There's, of course, a stigma around Marilyn Manson, but a lot of it is likely just from people misunderstanding things and being turned off by his image and/or rumors.

In life, I'm a quiet, well-dressed, educated and very courteous/thoughtful person.

I used to have Tulio from Road to El Dorado, matched with The Technomancer having Miguel since he introduced me to GAF and we're friends IRL.

Switched to Mat Cauthon from the Wheel of Time series when I started reading a lot of that. Works for me because he's a similar smarmy adventurer-type. I further identify with Mat because he
died and was brought back to life by some very unusual circumstances
, much like my GAF account in 2012.
 
Little girl avatars, porn avatars, and hentai avatars are exclusively for males.

Anything else is up in the air.

I do assume that anyone with a beautiful woman avatar is male, though.
 
I hope people think I am the biggest anime nerd in history based on my avatar.

That'd be hilarious given I barely watch any.
 
I used to change my avatar a lot but i'll stick with this one. It's not that it represents myself,
i'm not a middle aged white guy with a gun ownership
, but it involves gaming, which is the reason why I originally joined, & represents the best fictional area in gaming: Vice City, which was influenced by Florida of course.

There hasn't been a stigma around Marilyn Manson since the early to mid 00's. People used to be surprised that I listened to be right into Mansons msuci in highschool back in 96 and onward because I was what you would call a 'jock' in the US and only goths listened to Manson back then apparently, but Manson hasn't had that stigma for years, same as no one thinks you are weird for listening to Alice Cooper or Ozzy Osbourne.

You're more likely to get a reaction by telling someone you listen to Miley Cyrus these days.
 
I don't even recognize most avatars cause their references are often pretty obscure. Unless it's one of the 200 Pratt avatars. I never judge anyone though. I remember some guy having some rather sexual animated avatar back when we could have them and I never once questioned the person. I really don't care.

As for myself. My avatar is me so if people associate my avatar with me then my job is done I guess?
 
Nope I never judge gender by avatars

I do take notice of the subject matter of the avatars of course but only in the most obvious way (e.g. Fiction has Sherlock Holmes/Cumberbatch as an avatar, maybe Fiction likes Sherlock Holmes/Cumberbatch). I'm not one of those people that'd make cheap jabs at people with anime avatars (as some Gaffers seem to do)
