Avatar Bias

[-Dragmire-]

Your avatar is like a metronome, it's oddly mesmerizing...

 

[icyneesan]

I don't really know notice peoples avatars until after I read their post. Granted I think I might have a slight bias against people that have no avatar at all

 

[AMX58]

your avatar is how you symbolize your opinion well yeah if ya can catch my drift

im too damn smart for my own good

 

[Flames66]

I just assume that someone's avatar is how they want me to think of them. For example:

Clearly you all need more pony avatars

I think of you as a pony,

I'm biased against threads about how we can claim to know a person's entire personality based on the 100x100 picture they choose to show on an internet forum.

Guess it's a good thing that that's not what this thread is about.

I think of you as a cow boy and

I ha-a-ate My Little Pony avatars. Hell, I press the big red button just to get away from them.

Also people who think they're being funny by using a troll face as their avatar bug me.

I tend to skim over you without taking much notice because you have a creepy face and I don't want to make eye contact.

Hmm, I didn't notice that. In my defense I've been up for quite a long time now so I'm not surprised to have over looked that.

Look, you've really only got two choices here. You can either blame Neonbob or Scde2, or make lame excuses that nobody is going to believe. Choose wisely.

I'm just going to go ahead and blame both of them then. Problem solved >.>

OK, serious time: The MLP ones do kind of bug me but i'm not going to ignore the person because of it. It just confuses the shit out of me why so many people are suddenly obsessing over a show that really isn't very good. Yes, I've seen some episodes. No, I wasn't impressed or amused.

You don't have to like it! I'm glad you watched it, for now you actually have a reason not to like it. I can understand that MLP aren't everyones cup of tea, but so aren't drag racing either. Yet some people like that.

Yes, it is mesmerising, isn't it? Now keep watching it while I totally don't rifle through your bag and nick your valuables.

Good, good. Now we should sacrifice them to our gods. I've kind of forgotten which gods we're worshipping at the moment, though...

 

[SonofaJohannes]

Can't say I have anything against avatars, but I approve of pony avatars, in fact, I LOVE pony avatars. I tend to think more positive about people with pony avatars.
And lolis.

I'm bias towards people with My Little Pony avatars because no one has yet to explain to me what all the fuss is about. Till then, it looks ignorant and like a passing meme. Sorry guys.

It's ignorant? Are you just saying words or are you actually attempting to convey an idea?

OT: Nope. No biases when it comes to avatars here.

Default Avatars in ANYTHING piss me the hell off.

Just 5 minuites effort, people, it's not much!

 

[Pinkamena]

EDIT:
Nevermind that.

 

[DracoSuave]

I'm biased against threads about how we can claim to know a person's entire personality based on the 100x100 picture they choose to show on an internet forum.

I'm biased against posters that post 'pithy remarks' in a thread without actually bothering to read the title or the original post.

As for posters' avatars. Meh. I read content until I get bored then skip.

Default Avatars in ANYTHING piss me the hell off.

It's five minutes that -you- care about more than they do. If everyone did everything that was "five minutes, people" just to please someone who wants something done that is irrelevent to their own lives, no body would ever have any time left. Stop being arrogant.

 

[Kaltazraza]

As many has stated before, all of the MLP avatars tend to annoy me.

 

[LaBambaMan]

The only avatars I ahve problems with are Ponies, loli, Gurren Lagan(personal bias towards the show, really), and ones where you can't even tell what the hell it's supposed to be.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Some guy on here is using a piece I made as an avatar (It says 'power to the peaceful'), I always want to ask where they found it, but never get around to it. I find it a little annoying they didn't ask.

 

[Puzzlenaut]

Animated ones are distracting, forgettable and annoying.

I immediately dislike people who have them.

 

[shadyh8er]

-snip-

I'm biased towards any anime gifs like Julianking here.

My personal favorite one though is this guy who has one of Mikuru from Haruhi Suzimiya "killing" Kamina from Gurren Laagan with her "Mi...Mi...Mikuru beeeeeeam!"

 

[Kurokasumi]

Clearly you all need more pony avatars

Just changed mine this morning LOL.
Edit: Would have one sooner but I couldn't find one that fit

 

[DEAD34345]

Can someone please tell me what it actually is that they dislike about My Little Pony avatars?

Every couple of posts there's someone who says they already dislike people who have pony avatars, some even going as far as to say they don't read posts by people with those avatars. I can understand not liking the show, but why do people not like the people who do like the show? This doesn't usually happen with other things, I don't immediately dislike people who watch Glee, although I don't like the show myself. People don't immediately dislike me (I assume) because I play Mass Effect, even if they don't like the games. So why is it different with MLP?

Since I've apparently earned so much hatred for my avatar, I'd like to know exactly what it is about it that causes such problems.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Kind of getting sick of all the pony avatars if I'm honest.

It's making it harder to tell posters apart and it's grown to meme-like tedium.
