--- Quote from: Bisjac on May 24, 2011, 06:11:32 PM ---an avatar is the simple representation of who you are. you dont spend time on the net (or even in real life) to get to know people you randomly see. and why should you? yes, avatars give you an instant judgment of what you can expect from that person, whether you want to or not you all do it. if you crop out some gif clip from some cigarettegy cartoon, and caption it with a very old and unfunny meme; it means you want people to instantly think you are some immature fad chasing child. instant loss in respect. --- End quote --- Generally people chose an avatar on these forums based on whatever they presently like, regardless of them knowing that it represents them. |

--- Quote from: Stocking on May 24, 2011, 06:18:15 PM ---I'm not "Groping for insults", as if that were a real idiom at all anyways, I was just pointing out how you call his avatar stupid yet yours is nothing but an assortment of random colors that doesn't really represent anything, except maybe the inside of a kaleidescope. --- End quote --- Avatars don't have to represent anything, they're just a way of personalization. If everybody had the same avatar, things would be dull. Foruming tends to be more fun when you have more to personalize. This is why forum themes are popular. |

I was calling HIS avatar stupid, and that stupid over-used avatars = uncreative and usually stupid people. I never said anything about expressing yourself or any of that other bullstuff. |
