Why are anime avatars allowed on MLP forums?

Recommended Posts

This would be ok if it was a site for anime. But Japanese cartoons i believe dont belong here. Its unpony like and breaks the mood i feel. I just noticed some admin or moderators have them. Just wondering what you think?

Well, this Forum has on Offtopic Area, in which you can discuss all kinds of media.

 

Its not just a Mlp Forum for mlp specifically, you can discuss multiple things here.

And everyone should be allowed to have whatever Avatar they want, except if it breaks the rules.

I also like Pony Icons more, but we shouldnt force anyone to use something.

I am not anti discussion in terms of anime or anything off topic. I just feel it kinda breaks the MLP mood when anime gets mixed into it. Its not just my bias dislike of anime but it would be like if i went to an anime site and just had a pic of something else unrelated. Just feels it would break away from the atmospheric element.

Despite the name, MLP Forums is a site focused on the Brony community rather than MLP:FiM, which means you're allowed to talk about a wide variety of topics outside of just MLP. That's why we allow people to have avatars and signatures of whatever they want, within reason of course.

It would be better if people just uploaded one punch man avatar, the only exceptions. I dunno, most tend to be feminine that they resemble females more than males. So it makes me feel slightly uncomfortable when i see it.

Edit: And besides most have that awful emocut which i dont like. Well aware One Punch Man have some characters with that but its usually those mostly i tend to have problems with aswell as massive male femininity.

Its unatural and unormal.

"People want to use images of something that represents their interests and if it's something that I don't like as well it should not be allowed."

 

I'm sorry pal but things just don't work like that. Even if this site was strictly about my little pony it should not be up to us to decide what people must use as their avatar. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of using one in the first place.

 

You say that it it's not about your lack of interest in anime but rather about a "mood-ruiner" or something but that doesn't make any sense as people use avatars of all kinds of things that are unrelated to MLP, yet those don't seem to bother you.

Irrelevant. The same design could apply to a pony OC.

'Cause My Little Ponies are so natural and normal, right?

 

 

You'll just have to deal with it.

Not part of the staff equation anymore, but it is pretty safe to say that this will never happen.

 

Avatar selection is one of the more personal expressions of self and self-interest this forum has. If the avatar is free of porn, gore, and other grossly insensitive material ... it is allowable.

 

Now I kinda want to have 'pointy hair avatar day.'

Yeah but anime looks feminine and awful, they dont have bulky chins so i just kinda dislike it for that sake.

Like this. Bulky chin

This on the other hand is a woman.

I guess if it was more this then i wouldn't really care to be honest.

FMA: Brotherhood is cool though.

This on the other hand is unacceptable.

Problem is most girls with their zombie eyes on the phones (Likely overweight or other health problems) are degenerates and they are into that stuff. And for that i hate them. Even though it defies reality, they should be put to jail just saying.

Try using the quote button if you want to quote me, it gives the other person a notification so they know you have replied to their post.

That is just your opinion.

Proves my point that this is more about you not wanting to see things that you dislike rather than you wanting this site to be strictly MLP.

 

We obviously cannot change the rules for the entire board just to please your eyes.

 

If this is a big issue for you I suggest reading my post in the thread below, it will help you to get rid of the avatars you do not want to see.

I didnt quote it because of so much text. Either way good point i should work on that. But i dislike it mostly because they are big eyed non expressive robots. There is literally no real emotions in them, its like being on a zombie train. Most have that awful style in general(Although to be fair considering we are in the technological age of facebook and pure lazyness this i guess wouldnt be too far from the truth of sucking life out of people that way) But they may move their mouth to talk here and there, but there is really no real captivity in their expressions that makes me believe anything at all they do. the chin is just a big bonus on my annoyanse in general. Except Dragon Ball and some other shows, but those are rare.

 

Either way i'll look into that link, thanks.

No problem. In the example I show how to block a badge, but it can be used for any image. Just right click and grab the image link to someone's avatar and use that instead. AdBlock has been uptated so it looks slightly different from when I made that post but you should be able to figure out how to add custom filters anyway. You can send me a message if you need help.

This. Seriously, if we started banning stuff because people didn't like it, then we basically couldn't have anything.

First of all that first picture is not anime, but a real person.

 

Second of all, your ignorant viewpoints aren't how we base rules on this site.

I know that. It was to illustrate that men arent women more or less. I call it Japanese cartoon usually, i just have to use the term anime sometimes. I am a rebel more or less.

 

Pseudo intellectuals who calls others ignorant are usually either posh british or just spouting words without actually reading and looking at the post in context, thereby snobby arrogants who actually are ignorant. If you want to imagine me saying "Those real pictures are anime" then go ahead :P

Your utopian brilliant viewpoints is wall of nonsensical text that is what i think usually

So basically, we should ban anime avatars because you don't like the artstyle? 

Only if its massive thin chinned emo haircut. It degenerates females who dont know any better and its just annoying to look at because it defies any real human bonding in general of idol worship.

 

I am a caretaker :)

 

But i figured out how to deal with it. Thanks to a nice user here ^^

What on earth are you talking about? How does anime profile pictures degenerate females?

Because girls are mostly into that stuff today, pillow, figures whatever. I am sure there are some homosexuals too but basically i knew someone who got diabetus from sitting too much in with her anime and having lots of anime porn and stuff like that more or less. Plus its depressive. Although movies like "American Beauty" are also bad since the point isnt to help people psychologically or understand humans"By that i mean any form of medium that is objectively trying to use logic to why and why this is and is" not "BUBUB Melodrama etc", its more to make you feel like shit, self hatred and those type of entertainment are simply not healthy.

The question has been answered; the need for any further discussion about the issue is moot.

 

If you'd like to discuss the merits of anime and its aesthetics, please feel free to make a thread in Media Discussion.
