And if your pfp is a profile cross-section of a human head with a baby curled, and sleeping, where the brain would otherwise be?

Is it really a valid point if you have an anime PFP?
On Lemmy I feel like we do the same except for instances. Some person signs up with an instance oblivious to its politics but will get judged based on it.
Plot twist - the one calling out your anime pfp has a furry pfp
If the topic is tech related, the furry instantly gains +1 credibility

"Yeah well you're not a real animal!"
"Uh... Yes I am. Humans are animals, doofus."
CAN do whatever, and if it's IT related, they can do it better than you.
The trick is to not have an anime pfp and just make terrible arguments in general
Maybe you just need to find the right community for your profile picture? Then you are unstoppable.

I'm in this picture and I hate it
Oh, hi Achilles! How have the last dozen centuries been?
I'd say kicking it but frankly not a lot of kicking anything with the ankle. Uk how it is. Generally Greece hasn't been friendly towards people with kinetic disabilities what with all the stairs and ships and all, so I live on an island relying on the community.
Lovely woman opened a hotel here. Had to move out when her daughter was gonna get married but apparently there was like 3 men who might be her dad...and they sang about it? Idk lotta personal issues there. So just hanging around with some guy and his rock these days.
Your not going to stop me from saying unhinged shit in political subs.
And you can't stop me from feeling your argument is invalid
Hi, I AM IN YOUR WIFI. NOW RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU BAKA

Fuck That now it's full on war

what the fuck is a "baka"
Hot take: it’s totally fair to judge someone based on their avatar as that’s literary what it is, a pictorial summary of what you’re all about.
Obviously anyone is free to judge anyone based on whatever criteria they want.
People are allowed to have whatever impression they want over something like anime pfps. That person who decides it's some crazy negative red light or whatever, just won't be my friend, which is fine. Sometimes people forget that not everyone has to be your friend.
Counterpoint: sometimes it's just a funny picture I like, and sometimes it's some anime titties I like. Assuming it's always going to be a meaningful representation of the user is unrealistic.
Sure, just like it's fully fair for people to clown on someone for judging them based on something as unserious as a social media profile picture.
Or, and hear me out here, instead of escalating to a "immature schoolyard shouting match" for whatever reason, you could look at a person's pfp, have your feelings about it, and then move on to something that actually matters
But I am gathering that there are a lot of people who really enjoy schoolyard shouting matches and invite them because it makes them feel superior to fight others over trivial nonsense.
The irony of you saying this is not lost on me
I mean it tells me that you're somebody who weighs levity over seriousness. Even if it doesn't specifically tell me who you are, to imply that any choice is devoid of meaning is equally unrealistic.
Good thing my joke comment on a joke thread on a meme post didn't imply anything of the sort then
Bro do you think I typed this through clenched teeth or something? My comment was in exactly the same light tone as yours.
In my mind, some edgy-looking anime dude is very different from anime booba.
While both remove validity of argumentation, the former probably means you're a minor, and the ladder means you will never have a social life outside the internet.
You don't want a ladder unless you are cleaning the gutters
Doesn't the ladder increase the odds of a social life outside the internet? Am I the only who watched Clarissa Explains It All? It's called a social ladder for a reason!?
It's obviously based purely on my own (admittedly vast) experience on the internet.
I think the average age here is much higher than on reddit, for what it's worth. Playing lots of video games, though, has taught me that at least half of the adults act like children anyway.
A lot of people don't treat it as such though, and thus it becomes odd to assume so. But some things are just downright questionable, obviously.
Greek gods casting their ballot is actually a great propaganda image for democracy
No How can you do this to me????!!! 😭😭😭😭 Please no J Slur
Why is Achilles voting?
He knows that peacefully voting is the only way to bring down the fascist Trojans.
Good thing I don't use a profile picture on lemmy ....
The story of Achilles has always creeped me out. Imagine getting shot in the heel with a fucking arrow. Seems like one of the worst places. OTOH I guess no place is exactly good.
I mean, back then, a complete Achilles rupture likely meant you were permanently disabled.
Similar to the Yahoo email I created when I was 14. Somehow C0d_G0dx69_420@yahoo (Made up but similar) isn't quite the professional impression I want to make now a days.
I see no such weakness for you. Unless there's a new pug anime I need to watch. In which case why have you been holding out?
I wonder if lemmy would be better or worse with profile pictures
[checks my profile pic]
gonna be real, I literally never noticed those before.
I can’t see them on Voyager so they de facto don’t exist lol
