Can your avatar affect your rep? - Page 3

slipstrike0159 · 01-28-2007, 08:29 PM

Its all subconcious its not like you sit there and stare at someones avatar trying to find out what their personality is like. Sadly enough you generally judge someones tone purely on what their avatar looks like. If it is happy and nice then you think they are a happy person with a good tone. Knowing this im sure many people look at my avatar and think i am either very serious or that im emo, which neither is the case....

I like anime but only certain ones. I have watched a lot but there are only a few that i actually am willing to give good reviews towards and as you can tell Rurouni Kenshin is at the top of my recommendation list.

Actually... i think im going to use this as an excuse to change it to a happier looking one.

Don't double post. That could have easily been fit into one post.

IMHO, first impressions of an avatar give someone an idea of what they are like. Beyond that, it is up for them to get to know the person to find out what their personality is like, etc, etc.

Wait a second... i didnt double post though. Pichu_XP responded to my first post saying that my avatar just makes them think i am a fan of anime and then i responded to that... That really is weird, its almost like that post was deleted or something because trust me, i am very particular about doing those things like double posting.

Pichu_XP · 01-28-2007, 08:48 PM

Yeah, sorry about that. I pulled back my post because I though it wasn't really useful. Original post was along the lines of "I think you like anime."

My avatar may seem funny at first, but if I get the chance to piss you off, you will learn to hate it.

Biff_tech · 01-28-2007, 11:01 PM

Lol, I am not really a guy. Still more of a kid. I just turned 16 January 26th.

nice avatar there biff ^_^, good show!
and imo, your avatar has notthing to do with you or who you are, after all its just a picture and one cant be defined from the outside!

Your avatar makes me wet.

kentbball · 01-29-2007, 02:01 PM

Ya people's avatar's have a big influence on me. I hate talking to people with retarted avatars. It just makes them look messy.

I really need to change my spiderman avatar. It's really starting to get on my nerves. Anyone with a good avatar idea pm me please.

rade0110 · 01-29-2007, 02:38 PM

This is my second avatar. The first one I had was a picture of Gaara. Sadly, it was more of a personal joke since I am not a fan of Naruto. This one of Hobbes is the ****. I love the Calvin and Hobbes series. And I am pretty much a really big Calvin; crazy blonde hair and all. So I'm gonna stick to this one. And as far as how I view others' avatars; I am completely in agreeance with Ieat. Quick recognition of vets, and semi-describing a newb.

**Kotarouchan** · 01-29-2007, 03:02 PM

Depending on your avatar, some can actually tell that you/person who made the avatar has too much time on their hands. I like mine because it doesn't make people think, but if you truly look at my avatar you'll notice something strange about it.

xjohnieboyx · 01-29-2007, 03:14 PM

My avatar contains a picture of my girlfriend.

Noobs might deduce that it's me.

Whatever =]
