Anime profile pics are cringe, truly
Ha, my fist is impervious to those attacks!
Maybe you just need to find the right community for your profile picture? Then you are unstoppable.
Similar to the Yahoo email I created when I was 14. Somehow C0d_G0dx69_420@yahoo (Made up but similar) isn’t quite the professional impression I want to make now a days.
Instead I now use [email protected]
(much more professional)
Genuinely.
Hot take: it’s totally fair to judge someone based on their avatar as that’s literary what it is, a pictorial summary of what you’re all about.
it’s totally fair to judge someone
rarely
You’re judging them based off of what is ostensibly a first impression they have chosen for themselves. I can’t imagine a scenario where that’s not fair. And you don’t need to form an entire opinion, but the opinion starts there. If their picture was a sports team I didn’t like, some furry shit, or even MAGA, I’d form some opinions out of the gate.
Counterpoint: sometimes it’s just a funny picture I like, and sometimes it’s some anime titties I like. Assuming it’s always going to be a meaningful representation of the user is unrealistic.
In my mind, some edgy-looking anime dude is very different from anime booba.
While both remove validity of argumentation, the former probably means you’re a minor, and the ladder means you will never have a social life outside the internet.
You don’t want a ladder unless you are cleaning the gutters
While both remove validity of argumentation,
Why?
A lot of people don’t treat it as such though, and thus it becomes odd to assume so. But some things are just downright questionable, obviously.
Plot twist - the one calling out your anime pfp has a furry pfp
If the topic is tech related, the furry instantly gains +1 credibility
“Yeah well you’re not a real animal!”
“Uh… Yes I am. Humans are animals, doofus.”
Not a real fluffy animal!!!
True… I am funny guy, but maybe not that funny.
Furry pfp means chaotic neutral. They can do whatever.
Also, they drew the pfp themselves on some drawing tablet.
CAN do whatever, and if it’s IT related, they can do it better than you.
True that, That’s a given in this case
On Lemmy I feel like we do the same except for instances. Some person signs up with an instance oblivious to its politics but will get judged based on it.
I signed up to lemmy waaay before the reddit API thing and back then there were only like three instances available.
My instance gets blocked a lot and now I know its because I am apparently a tankie.
Yeah but you’re on .world, so lets take what you have to say with a bucket of salt.
Of course someone on .world would say that. /j
But also blocking .ml instances by default is a great way to reduce your exposure to stupid ass takes and arguments. /not a joke
World is worse than ml imo. So much worse.
Except people accidentally join dumb instances. Nobody accidentally sets their pfp as a preteen anime girl. That shit is a choice.
Did actually do that once.
Ummmmm actually my discord pfp is definitely of a girl in her early twenties. Well, ok MAYBE she’s a teenager but she’s definitely of age!
I feel seen
The trick is to not have an anime pfp and just make terrible arguments in general
Finally, something I’m qualified to do
It could be worse. They could have a greek marble bust with laser eyes instead of the anime pfp.
Me, a Classics enjoyer, immediately suspecting someone of fascism when they have a Graeco-Roman bust pfp:
SiIvaGunner noooo don’t start world rip 3
Is it really a valid point if you have an anime PFP?
Your not going to stop me from saying unhinged shit in political subs.
And you can’t stop me from feeling your argument is invalid
Yes i can!
Feel this sweater instead. It’s real velour!
A true hero
…congrats?
I’m in this picture and I hate it
Oh, hi Achilles! How have the last dozen centuries been?
I’d say kicking it but frankly not a lot of kicking anything with the ankle. Uk how it is. Generally Greece hasn’t been friendly towards people with kinetic disabilities what with all the stairs and ships and all, so I live on an island relying on the community.
Lovely woman opened a hotel here. Had to move out when her daughter was gonna get married but apparently there was like 3 men who might be her dad…and they sang about it? Idk lotta personal issues there. So just hanging around with some guy and his rock these days.
Can’t argue with that.
Greek gods casting their ballot is actually a great propaganda image for democracy
