Support NeoGAF

[Garrett Hawke]

Sort of, when people have overly sexual avatars it makes me a lil uncomfortable.

 

[StoneFox]

I am never happy with my avatar, I'm the sort of person that gets the itch to change it every two months but I try to resist it because gaffers use avatars to identify people and on the off chance someone wants to find me, well...

 

[FO-totality]

lawd do I miss that. PinkoMarx should have been given special exemption from the no .gifs in avis rule.

One person did, he had a spinning maple leaf avatar and tag that said "A child left behind" or something like that. Can't remember his name.

I remember that one, though not the user. PantherLotus' avatar was also good, as was the person who had that girl jumping over the rainbow. Those four all should have been allowed refuge.

Glad the rest went, though. People with .gif avatars that didn't loop cleanly did my head in.

 

[cyberheater]

I really don't know what to think about my little pony avatars.

 

[evilromero]

I have avatars disabled so I judge you purely on your username.

 

[Falchion]

If I see a female avatar I automatically assume the poster is male. Other than that I don't even bother guessing or care unless the topic is somehow gender related.

 

[gaiages]

My avatar is so manly I'm clearly overcompensating

Spoiler

for my lack of a penis

 

[PSqueak]

People saying they disable avatars:

Why do you use one?

 

[John Kowalski]

I have avatars disabled so I judge you purely on your username.

Is that why you still have that avatar of a dead cat? It's kinda gnarly dude.

 

[Leonel]

I am my avatar.

So...are your legs the only things that transform, or does your whole body have to twist and contort to accommodate your new vehicular form?

 

[Natureboy99]

You would judge a book by it's cover? Read the words that they post and judge them on that.

First post nails it. Mine is usually satirical, so i guess that says something. Also I turn them off because they aren't worth the screen space, bandwidth, and eye processing.

 

[LiK]

Ever heard of something called Google reverse image search?

What does that have to do with my comment?

 

[PillarEN]

If someone has an avatar with a really punchable face I get a little irritated. If your avatar is something that I like I feel slightly more connected because "hey. You and me, we, you know, get that".

 

[ZoronMaro]

If avatar is male, probably a guy
If avatar is female, definitely a guy

cause hey dude, we're all dudes here dude.

Spoiler

irony is I picked this avatar to avoid being judged

You don't have an avatar.

 

[FunkyDealer]

I think avatars speak of a person's interests or sense of humour. Sometimes I imagine the avatar as the one speaking, helps me remember who wrote what.

 

[FunkyDealer]

You don't have an avatar.

... *swoosh*

Spoiler

right?

 

[Dennis]

If your avatar isn't your real face I just assume you are trying to hide something.

Ironic, because I judge users with no avatars!

My fivehead game is extra big though.

 

[chaobreaker]

Nothing at all

 

[BKatastrophe]

But what is a real face?

 

[Exr]

I am a 4" 10 Laotian woman

 

[Chozolore]

That we're not as handsome as you Dennis?

 

[maxcriden]

My avatar is designed to puzzle you

 

[Gr1mLock]

If your avatar isn't your real face I just assume you are trying to hide something.

I always assumed you were either running a free candy operation from the back of a van or a raging alcoholic.

Dennis, "you're in carcosa now"

I always remember your avatar because of your obsession with the show. The face just seems to be a person who can't stop thinking along the line of Rustin Cohle.

yes

There is no solution. We have evolved into a very judgemental species, people who say they don't judge are lying, or are not part of the superior gene pool

 

[LoveCake]

My avatar is my Mii it looks as close to the real me as i could make the Mii, i have added the current systems i have (cannot fit all the retro ones on there though) i also have the HeForShe logo as i support gender equality (especially in gaming).

 

[John Kowalski]

Real face avatars are super creepy and i avoid those posters.

 

[Almighty]

On a male dominated sites like NeoGAF I operate under the assumption that every poster is male until I read otherwise. Though sometimes I guessed correctly based on usernames, but avatars are a different beast.

 

[Dennis]

Raging alcoholic it is then!

 

[Nubster]

Raging alcoholic it is then!

There is nothing Dennis can do about it.... "maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but... he's gonna have a drink."

It's my face. I'm hiding my face.

 

[John Kowalski]

You can't trick me Dennis.

 

[akira28]

Fuck yea I am.

I mean you don't figure the dinosaur equivalent of a space redneck could run an interstellar piracy operation. At some point Ridley has to put on a suit and tie, or at least a comfortable smoking jacket.

Goddamn straight talk.

 

[No Love]

She's not on GAF but I banged her so I guess she's a part of me. Plus I find the picture amusing even if I don't notice it anymore.

You collect pussy bits too?

Pussy bits is getting added to the lexicon.

 

[Vylash]

I'm the kawaiiest.

i can confirm

Ew, I don't want them to be a part of me though...

Oh I am not hiding anything.

Heeeheeeheeeheeeheeeeeheeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Hai kidz time for some fuuuuuuun!

You would judge a book by it's cover? Read the words that they post and judge them on that.

Spoken like a deceiving demon.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I can't find an avatar I want to stick with.

 

[Violet_0]

I stopped trying to guess the gender of a poster based on their avatars/username

 

[Banana Aeon]

I can't find an avatar I want to stick with.

This one is good fam.

 

[Octavia]

It's my cat.

I couldn't think of anything else so I took a random picture of my cat from my computer and used it.

I think judging by avatars can sometimes have merit because yes, some people do actually put effort into using something that has meaning to them. But sometimes people just use a picture of their cat because idk, can't think of anything else, or use a picture they found in 5 seconds because it was funny, or just used the first thing that came to mind, ect.
