Subject: Just by looking at someone's avatar...

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

...you can tell their general attitude, personality, intelligence, and/or age.

For example, people with the default avatar tend to be either trolls, stupid, or 12. People who use this avatar tend, in my experience, to be immediate flamers, while people who use classic avatars like the Marathon symbol or ONI avatars tend to be high ranking.

GIF users tend to be good at making quality threads. MLG avatar users, not surprisingly, tend to be the lolReach crowd.

As for those with Coup, I think we all know who's a Brony and who's a Furry.

Has anyone ever looked at Avatars like this?

And I'm not saying that ALL users with such avatars do such things, maybe I just keep seeing the same user post over and over. Go ahead and make fun of people who use the BUNGLE avatar.

Also, if this is somehow offensive, please lock.

I definitely associate avatars with certain users or certain types of users, of course.

I associate my avatar with awesomeness.

How can you determine anything from someones avatar, OP? I can't tell any of the things you described just by looking at their picture.

Pre-judging people by appearances and putting them into groups where you then expect them to act/behave in a particular manner?

Now HOW in the world could anyone find that offensive?

Foman told me it was okay to post it in Community after he locked it in the Flood.
He only said it was MILDLY offensive. :)

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Guys who use avatars that correspond directly to their username tend to be sarcastic and crotchety.

Recon makes a good point. We should be required to go into graphic detail about the unadulterated hatred and spite we have toward other users because of their avatars.

yeah, suuuuurrrreeee

get off my lawn you crazy kids.

OT: I notice this, it's probably because people pick the avatars that correspond with their personality the most, at least, that's what I did.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

I have noticed this as well. I also associate certain avatars with certain members.

This is true for me as well most of the time.
I associate your avatar with keeping things clean; what is that, a toilet plunger?
I associate you with janitors.

Custom Avatars.

Those people....I mean, I was going to try to put my thoughts into words.

But I can't. No written media can contain the very essence of the hate I bestow upon those orange hellions.

A hate that burns through my soul like a drop of acid, eating at my innerds until all I hear is the sound.

That terrible sound.

"Banned, Banned, BANNED!"

Over and over and over.

Please remain calm. Keep it clean. Watch your step.
