how do people's avatars affect your perception of the poster?

[Drydess]

usually the gender of the avatar makes me assume things. Beyond that i don't really think much of it.

[sir dooble]

I think I know people by avatar, until I go into a topic like BLF movie posters, or Jairos BLF uni topic, and it's an image with avatars and no names and I have no loving clue who anyone is.

[Foxscotch]

fireking used to have an amazing avatar, and he could do no wrong, but since he changed it I'm indifferent towards him
also I don't like blockhead avatars. it seems really childish to me. so I guess in that case I'll assume you're on the young side

[Clownfish]

i'm really loving frustrated all the time and slightly enraged

[Lego lad]

really annoying avatar and it triggered my annoyed bias against you prior to this discussion
i am upset

hey man back off >:(((

[SWAT One]

I probably seem like a total neckbeard with my avatar, but it's from an inside joke from something from then Community Projects.

[Flame]

i am loveually confused

[TheABELBOTO]

I like foxsquach's avatars the most since they don't scream I'M A FURRY, SEE?!!??

Also it's weird af when someone doesn't use an avatar, like trinick lol

[Pikminpicker]

depends on if they have a lame avatar. like, look at this one.

[Pastrey Crust]

I just use the avatar to know who is who.

[ZXukas]

if its a avatar related to a something i like thats cool but otherwise i dont pay much attention

[Jairo]

stupid people have stupid avatars

pretty simple system, I think

[MoltenKitten]

I only use avatars to know who is posting because sometimes avatars don't match the tone of someone's posts. Take Headcrab Zombie for example, if I judged him based on avatar I would swear he was never serious.

[Electrk.]

Avatars just help me identify posters more quickly

this

A person's avatar doesn't necessarily make up my perception of them, but if their avatar is stupid and I dislike their personality, then it will make my opinion lower than if they didn't have a stupid avatar. Same with good avatars and people I like.
