Do you judge people by their avatar?


~Starlight~

Recommended Posts

As long as their avatar does not show any hate speech, I won't judge them based on their avatar. I would assume they like Rarity if Rarity is their avatar, for example. However, I've seen people who claimed to hate Rarity while having her as their avatar. I may make assumptions (bad habit of mine.) but I would never judge them unless they have hateful stuff on their avatar.

Well...sorta...a little bit...but not too much. I understand that avatars usually depict what people like and their interests. So I try to see that by thinking about their avatars and stuff, and maybe try to get a good picture of who they are.

An avatar is just something pleasing to look at. Or to some, maybe not so much. I tend to not like the gory ones as much - not because it's the horror type - it just throws me off a bit. The user's profile and what they post is far more important. Thus my answer to this topic is...no.

I used to back in my days of being a mod. Kids, don't judge a book by its cover.

I don't judge people by their avatars, but I can't help but envision them as their avatar. Like, if somebody keeps their avatar as Celestia or Luna long enough (*cough*SCS*cough*) I'll start to see them as that character.

 

As for judging their character or anything, no. I wait until I actually know them.

Hit it right on the head.

Imagine if you will being on your death bed – And standing around your bed – the ghosts of the ideas, the dreams, the abilities, the talents given to you by life.

And that you for whatever reason, you never acted on those ideas, you never pursued that dream, you never used those talents, we never saw your leadership, you never used your voice, you never wrote that book.

And there they are standing around your bed looking at you with large angry eyes saying "We came to you, and only you could have given us life! But now. We must die with you FOREVER!

The question is – if you die today, what ideas, what dreams, what abilities, what talents, what gifts, would die with you?

Well...yeah, I kind of do. I usually don't assume anything bad about them, unless the have a mary-suish looking OC. I don't treat anyone differently, though. Another type of people who I may judge are people who talk like this:

 

OMG! I h8 it wn that rlly annoying song comes on! Make it stop! Please, ppl!

 

But that's a whole new can of worms...

Yes, I do.

 

An avatar is something you pick to represent yourself, so I don't see why this is a problem. If someone has a suggestive, annoying, or offensive avatar, I'm naturally going to make judgements on said person based around that. That's how you want me to see you, is it not? If you don't want me to judge you negatively, then change your avatar to something that won't be viewed negatively. It's that simple, really. I get sick of people saying not to judge other people for things--it's going to happen and there's nothing you can do about it.

 

Everyone is judged by everyone for everything, whether they admit it or not. Welcome to life.

 

You could use the classic "don't judge a book by it's cover" argument, but that's kinda flawed. A cover is indented to convey the contents of a book accurately and concisely. If someone goes through the effort to write a book, they aught to pick a good title and write a decent summary on the back... or else the book probably isn't any good. Sorry, I won't be interested in something that looks like crap. This same concept applies to avatars. It's how people identify you; it's how you present yourself to the world. Choose wisely.

 

My avvie is of Scoots and Dash because I don't want anyone to think I'm a cold-hearted person, even though I often seem to be (like Dash). I chose it thinking it would make me seem friendly, caring, and inoffensive, as I try to be. That scene also happens to be one of my favorite moments in the entire series, so that's all the more reason.

Well I don't. Never judge a book by its profile pic as the old saying goes...

Anyway people who do tell me what the hell do you get from my profile pic? :confused:

Some people may think your 'silly' because of your avatar, this is all I'm saying.

 

Let me explain why people may judge you because of your avatar:

 

A lot of times, people customize something to represent who they are.

In terms of social networks, the body language, as well as the facial expression involved in the picture, can say a lot about a person. If a person is holding the camera out in front of them and all of their face is showing, while smiling, the person is outgoing and confident. If the person is hiding a part of their face or looking away, they will probably be shy and soft spoken.

In terms of here, mostly the way the ponies are designed can say a lot about the person, or the non-pony related avatars as well.

I don't go and say, "Oh this person has this avatar, s/he must be a good person.", if not, obtain information/assumptions of their personality.
