Support NeoGAF

[Venfayth]

If you have a loli avatar you should be banned

b-but

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

b-but

it's the new law, loli must be DESTROYED

 

[Anto]

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

Cool with Batarians?

 

[Radogol]

Can't wait not to have to pay a virtual tax for my virtual home! That's definitely worth $3000!

 

[zruben]

Yes, cat avatars. Why would you have a cat over a dog?

I lose all respect for them.

my hipster cat is so much cooler than your birthday dog.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

No, but its always funny to see people with corporate mascots living up to their avatar.

 

[Seik]

I don't think there's much to judge with my avatar, except that it comes from a dead franchise.

 

[zkylon]

I pick avatars depending on my mood so yeah I want to be judged by them

 

[Venfayth]

Are you telling me you're in a dangerous mood?

 

[T.M. MacReady]

No, but its always funny to see people with corporate mascots living up to their avatar.

OLD SPICE IS THE BEST.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

OLD SPICE IS THE BEST.

You've got to be more subtle than that. Only slightly though.

 

[zkylon]

Are you telling me you're in a dangerous mood?

Always.

 

[Satchel]

A little yeah.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

You've got to be more subtle than that. Only slightly though.

I SMELL TERRIFIC.

 

[Esura]

Stop calling me Ta-kun!

 

[BRocknRolla]

I tend to take people with anime girls as avs less seriously. And dudes with random hot chick avatars.

Nothing personal.

Agreed. Don't quite get why people want that to represent themselves in that manner. Unless of course they happen to be the random hot chick or anime girl, in which case it makes total sense.

 

[Wonko_C]

I guess you really are a winged ex-super hero turned lawyer? Am I a half-angel half-demon devil hunter?

 

[Anto]

I guess you really are a winged ex-super hero turned lawyer? Am I a half-angel half-demon devil hunter?

With minty-fresh breath, yes.

 

[jello44]

No, and I don't know why I should.

It's all about the content of the post, not about what someone's avatar is.

 

[zkylon]

Stop calling me Ta-kun!

Maybe I'll just burn you down instead.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

It's hard with all the Kaz avatars, I know many are wearing them ironically but some threads can look a like a Playstation fanclub meeting. Changes the tone of the thread.

 

[Esura]

Agreed. Don't quite get why people want that to represent themselves in that manner. Unless of course they happen to be the random hot chick or anime girl, in which case it makes total sense.

They might like that anime character or that random hot chick. If they can't put what they like as an avatar then what should they put?

Maybe I'll just burn you down instead.

Time for you to stop smoking and playing with lighters.

 

[bigace33]

Yes. It's someone's personal choice in how they want to have their public comments represented and a reflection of the person. If you didn't want to be judged by it, you shouldn't choose an avatar.

 

[ShyGuy0504]

No, I read their posts. I do tend to memorize posters by their avatar rather than their name though.

 

[Thug Waffle]

I think the ones with sexualized 12 year old animated girls are pretty weird. I was cool with that stuff when I was actually 12 years old, but now that I'm a good ten years older than all these half-naked anime characters, the images elicit a subtle repulsion.

But I've never felt that sort of avatar discredited someone's post. Admittedly, however, I've yet to see it all.

 

[Wonko_C]

With minty-fresh breath, yes.

I'm Commander Shepard and this is now my favorite Batarian on the Citadel.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

if you aren't using a real pic you're doing it wrong

 

[zkylon]

Agreed. Don't quite get why people want that to represent themselves in that manner. Unless of course they happen to be the random hot chick or anime girl, in which case it makes total sense.

Because they like said anime girls and hot chicks?

It's a weird thing to be wondering about, why else would you use an avatar?

Time for you to stop smoking and playing with lighters.

I just threaten to torch people because I'm terrible at quotes

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

for the most part I don't unless someone has a console specific avatar, or a really annoying or even creepy one, like a young anime girl blushing or something of that sort.

 

[Venfayth]

does anyone else look at boobs?

if i put boobs in my avatar would it be weird?

i just think boobs are nice.

 

[Kincaido]

My avatar is mai waifu.

 

[xelios]

Only in extreme cases. Say, the cover of an Ayn Rand book or something. I want to hate Dice[train] for his avatar(s) but I've known him too long from GAF Steam chat and he's an alright fellow.

 

[TedNindo]

As someone who enjoys and supports all platform and wants to be read as being such. I might need to change my avatar after reading this thread.

 

[Anteater]

Well I don't usually dismiss them, there will always be people being a fan of a game and using it as avatar, nothing wrong with that, I would've used a mgs4 avatar if I joined gaf before mgs4 came out.

 

[zkylon]

Everybody knows boobs is better than no boobs.

 

[Stark]

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.

Spoiler

Faux Loli buddy.

My avatar is mai waifu.

Truth.

 

[Venfayth]

Everybody knows boobs is better than no boobs.

But - if my avatar is boobs - will people then think that the boobs are talking? Or that I am boobs?

 

[Beats]

I don't really judge anyone by their avatar or skip over their posts if they have one of a certain type. It just seems like a lame shortcut in thinking to dismiss someone's argument/opinion because of their avatar, and to assume something about another person because they have a particular type of avatar. I dunno.

I do like imagining the avatar saying the post though.

 

[Tellaerin]

But - if my avatar is boobs - will people then think that the boobs are talking? Or that I am boobs?

"Dad, are you boobs?"

"Yes. Now we are a family again."

 

[TerryWogan]

I hope this isn't Chris' blood...

 

[xJavonta]

I can't even imagine what people think of me because of my avatar. I just thought it was a unique pose and perfect for an avatar. But I can't tell you how many PM's I get asking about it.

Looks like something from a porn lol

 

[zkylon]

But - if my avatar is boobs - will people then think that the boobs are talking? Or that I am boobs?

I think I'd probably have better conversations with talking breasts than with most human beings.

 

[Asimov]

Now... remember, kids... the Internet is serious business.

 

[Alcotholic]

I'm always worried that people who are not familiar with Advance Wars won't take me seriously because they will think my avatar symbolizes 'Bam NeoGAF we fight for the videogame industry amirite guys' or something dumb among those lines, instead of the simple NeoTank/NeoGAF pun that it is.

I think your Avatar is pretty kick-ass and clever.

 

[jello44]

I hope this isn't Chris' blood...

.

 

[NewFresh]

I report everyone with anime avatars to the police.

I've tried reporting AnimeGAF to the authorities for years! I think duckroll keeps them protected....

 

[dragonlife]

No, but if it's an avatar from a little-known game that I know and like, I'll feel a sense of camaraderie.

 

[Psi]

In some cases. Generally not until I see how their posting compares to it.

 

[Neiteio]

I think I'd probably have better conversations with talking breasts than with most human beings.

zkylon: "So, Talking Breasts, how's the weather?"

Talking Breasts: "Don't be such a boob! It's nippy."

zkylon: "Jeez, don't get your tits in a twist..."

 

[Coxy]

No, but I judge those who judge others on their avatars
