Do you judge people by their avatar?

[The Dark Lord 332]

Judging is kind of a harsh way to put it, but yeah, i do, at least until i actually talk to that person.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

No, I don't "judge" anyone by their avatar, but depending on what their avatar is, I can usually tell what they like. For example, a member who has an anime avatar probably likes anime.

[boiteporte 591]

Well, I might judge someone by their avatar. It depends, really.

For example, if the avatar is a girl, I might talk to that user as if he/she was a girl. That is about as far as it goes.

 

On the other hand, if the avatar is something highly inappropriate, I might (will, actually) get a negative first impression of that user.

 

By inappropriate, I mean, something that would probably not be allowed on the forums.

[PineappleKAKE 14]

I do think people's choice of avatar reflects themselves quite neatly, most of the time.

 

...which makes wonder what everyone else thinks when they see mine. >.>

[Phoenix Flair 332]

Yes.  Well, not so much judge as the picture influences me when I read their posts.  I just assume they're in the same mood as their picture all the time.

[Moonlight Magician 494]

Well, yeah... And it's incredibly shallow of me -_-

[Mr. Forest 135]

I don't judge people based on their avatar, but I will admit their avatar may give me a peek into their personality and interests.

[Jeric 46,851]

When I see a canon MLP avatar I assume they are a fan of that character, yes. If I see an avatar that doesn't connect to show, movie, game, person, etc .... then I get curious.

 

No judgment in the negative sense.

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

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.

[LightningMana 146]

I think for me, the expression or "vibe" I get from a person's avatar along with what they say, gives me an impression of who is typing~

 

An expression of their mind~

[RunsWithSquirlz 274]

Maybe a bit.

 

I only really judge if its a girl with her boobs falling out or pushing her cleavage up to the camera. It's like *sigh* they exist here too.

 

But other than that, I just like everybody avatar and I don't really care who's behind it.

[Professor SnuSnu 100]

Heh....no, Well I do sometimes. Depends on what they post,

Ha, I know what you mean. I'm still just getting used to some of the avatar changes.

[Lunar Song 8]

I try not to, and instead 'judging' a person after I've gotten to know them, though we all slip up from time to time. 

[Jackleberry 1,921]

Not necessarily, or at least I try not to, although it depends on what the person's avatar actually is.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

Usually all a persons avatar is just portraying what they like most times that is. It depends on what it is if I am going to judge anything  

 

Like hence if someone's avatar was "offensive"

[Snowbrezze 100]

i does not judge people by their avatars at all

[Deathstroke 1,564]

Nah i no judge people by avatar, until i talk to the guy 

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Eh, sort of. Well, I guess not even sort of, like almost totally, but usually someone's avatar is accompanied with a post, so basically that whole first impression thing comes in. 

['NamBrony 22]

I do sometimes. When I see someone with a troll face as their avatar, I hate them. When someone has an incredibly dumb/silly avatar, it's very hard to do a serious RP with them.

[neznamkaksa 79]

The avatar says what do you do most,what you like etc.It describes you in some way.Though no,i dont judge by the avatar.

[Invincible 2,091]

A bit. It shows a glimpse of the personality behind the avatar, of course. But i don't usually hold it for or against them too much - avatar pictures can be changed with the simple click of a button.

[long gone 8,929]

Yes, because it's not Twilight Sparkle, they clearly do not have good taste.

 

I'm kidding. I don't actually judge people by their avatars. There's more to a person than online appearances.

[GhostPony750 959]

Yep, I do. It catches a glimpse of someone's personality. And I tend to recognize people by their avatars.

 

It's a quick and reliable way to know someone. And I know that everyone do the same. People with anime avatars tends to stick together, since they share the same interests. Sadly I'm the only one with a car avatar...

Nope. Post quality speaks louder than avatars, signatures, or even names. Post quality is everything, I see that intelligent/funny post and I brohoof you for it, I see how you put no effort into that post and so I will be judging you for it. No broof for you, try harder next time!
