[The_Intruder]

If its a loli avatar, yes.

The same for me.

 

[kittens]

Yeah, a little bit. I find that my take on video games and the gaming industry tends to clash with people who really love modern Nintendo. I've definitely noticed a correlation. I don't take it too seriously, though.

 

[Esura]

Eh, nope. Never judge a book by it's cover.

 

[Eidan]

Yes. Especially loli ones.

 

[Boss Man]

If its a loli avatar, yes.

I had a mod change my avatar to one of those for a while after calling people out for them in a thread once lol.

 

[Just_myles]

Come at me GAF.

 

[Shahed]

I had a mod change my avatar to one of these for a while after calling people out for those once.

Who doesn't like girls tied up in blankets?

Spoiler

Yeah that topic was disturbing

 

[Stark]

I had a mod change my avatar to one of those for a while after calling people out for them in a thread once lol.

That was Erio, right? Should've kept it. It was adorable.

 

[Boss Man]

Yes, Erio the "high school deformed" anime character wrapped in a blanket. That was a tough couple of months on GAF for me lol.

 

[Bisnic]

Only if their avatar have a turian or salarian, or worse... both of them!

 

[Stark]

Yes, Erio the "high-school deformed" anime character wrapped in a blanket. That was a tough couple of months on GAF for me lol.

C'mon, embrace it!

 

[zkylon]

I don't pay attention to jpeg avatars.

Destroy...
Annihilate...
Obliterate...
Eradicate...

Is that supposed to be your avatar's character or mine?

My girl just likes burning stuff up.

 

[Lusankya]

Is that supposed to be your avatar's character or mine?

Mine. I guess the Archon from Starcraft isn't that popular after all.

 

[mkenyon]

Eh, nope. Never judge a book by it's cover.

Yeah. Take that to an interview, see how it works out.

People are judged by their appearance, it's a fact of life. I think the Avatar is about as close as we get to that on the internet, so it carries over naturally.

 

[zkylon]

Mine. I guess the Archon from Starcraft isn't that popular after all.

Heh, haven't played Starcraft in like 10 years.

 

[Majanew]

no

 

[moai]

not judge, but after reading the post i usually take a look at the avatar and think "it all makes sense now".

 

[rjfs]

I hope not

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Yeah. Take that to an interview, see how it works out.

Good thing this is GAF then. It only carries over if you want it to. People can change avatars or choose not to have one.

 

[Narolf]

Narolf, just wondering if you ever use something besides Versus gifs?

 

[Quixzlizx]

I'll always read the post first, but I see post/avatar combos that make me roll my eyes all the time.

 

[Stark]

Eh, nope. Never judge a book by it's cover.

So you don't like Neptune?

 

[DaciaJC]

No. Tags, though, sometimes.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Always

 

[Astra]

I remember people based on their avatar, but I don't judge them by it.
Though I guess I do question some people's taste when I see a really ugly avatar, or wonder why someone would choose an obnoxious one.

I don't always judge others by their avatar, but when I do I look for Persona.

I do miss your Chie brain-freeze avatar, but your current one is pretty attractive.

I don't outright judge people by their avatars, but I'd be lying if I said a particularly fitting or obnoxious avatar didn't get me to look at their posting history.

And I do the usual associating people with their avatars after awhile, as I'm sure everyone now associates me with mine. >_>;

I'm still more familiar with your P3P Female MC and being Marrshu.

 

[Lain]

For example, if you go into a thread that's about some bad news about Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft, and you see a person defending them that has an avatar from one of the companies, do you dismiss what they're saying due to potential fanboyism?

I wish I could say that I didn't, but I find myself doing it from time to time. I just want to know if I'm the only one.

I usually don't. It's all about what they are saying and how.

 

[Esura]

Yeah. Take that to an interview, see how it works out.

People are judged by their appearance, it's a fact of life. I think the Avatar is about as close as we get to that on the internet, so it carries over naturally.

People are also killed every day, it's a fact of life, doesn't make it right.

So you don't like Neptune?

Well, yeah of course! But as some of the posts in this thread shows, people will assume something entirely different from this avatar than just someone who is a huge fan of Nep Nep.

 

[batman2million]

i judge them by the content of their character.

 

[friskykillface]

no but i do like to look at the different avatars

i judge by reading posts

 

[digita1alchemy]

I'll always read the post first, but I see post/avatar combos that make me roll my eyes all the time.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

[Nags]

I'm going to make little paper cut-outs of some gaf avatars and have a puppet show.
For my amusement.

 

[nicoga3000]

No, but I do wonder why some folks don't have an avatar. I judge them.

I judge them hard.

 

[demidar]

No, but I do wonder why some folks don't have an avatar. I judge them.

I judge them hard.

Clearly soulless, just like their non-existent avatar.

 

[Dereck]

It's like that thread about lolis and the defensive people are the ones with the avatars of young anime girls. It's very hard not to acknowledge.

This gif looks too HD.

 

[Unstoppable Lionheart]

Not really sure how you'd judge me any other way than a man with fine taste.

Challenge accepted.

You are a furry lover.

Welcome to the imagination of my mind.

 

[Data Elemental]

I read posts, but I tend to remember people by their avatars, so when they change them, it can get a bit confusing.

...is what I'd like to say, but it's not the complete truth. Sometimes, I'll get a chuckle out of a post and avatar matching up too well. And on, somewhat rare, occasions, I will lay eyes upon an avatar and have a spontaneous, automatic adverse or positive reaction to it. I think it's human nature though, considering the IAT and all the other funny business our subconscious tends to do.

 

[sublimit]

Sometimes the post content makes it very hard to ignore the avatar,but no i don't judge anyone here based only on their avatar.

 

[Myriadis]

I have avatars disabled. Works fairly fine to me.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I have avatars disabled. Works fairly fine to me.

Smart move.

 

[Mondriaan]

I try not to judge people by their avatars.

However, I've put people on my ignore list so that I wouldn't have to see their avatars any more. My reasoning is that a person isn't their avatar, so I'm not really judging a person per se. I could disable avatars, I guess.

 

[Riposte]

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't remember any of you without avatars. So stop fucking changing your avatars.

 

[CadetMahoney]

If its a loli avatar, yes.

The same for me.

too.

 

[Evolved1]

I try not to... but truthfully I will often skip over posts if I see nintendo avatars. (unless it's something old school)

 

[Steve Youngblood]

I try not to read too much into chosen avatars, but sometimes you read a post, look at the avatar, and the correlation with post and avatar type is hard too ignore. That said, I have never avatar quoted or written off a viewpoint simply because their avatar suggests that they are part of Group X. Honestly, even if I am well acquainted with the poster's post history, I still try very hard in terms of resisting "of course you'd say that" ad hominem attacks.

 

[braves01]

Nope. I only judge the content of posts.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

If you have a loli avatar you should be banned

 

[Smutpeddler]

I really try not to. It is such a small indication of who the person and what they like.

however, anyone can call me a Smutpeddler if they so choose.

 

[Volotaire]

I try not to and read the posts, but occasionally it might irk me.

 

[Dreavus]

Isn't this where avatar quoting comes from?

 

[CitizenCope]

Gears gears GEARS, gears Gears of War. Cliffy cliffy cliffy CLIFFY, cliffy BEEEEEEEEE!
