Anime detected, opinion rejected

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.

Feel this sweater instead. It's real velour!

CAN do whatever, and if it's IT related, they can do it better than you.
True that, That's a given in this case

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.

Why?

You don't want a ladder unless you are cleaning the gutters

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.
I signed up to lemmy waaay before the reddit API thing and back then there were only like three instances available.
My instance gets blocked a lot and now I know its because I am apparently a tankie.

You're judging them based off of what is ostensibly a first impression they have chosen for themselves. I can't imagine a scenario where that's not fair. And you don't need to form an entire opinion, but the opinion starts there. If their picture was a sports team I didn't like, some furry shit, or even MAGA, I'd form some opinions out of the gate.

I do the same. I don't have the time or patience to listen to every person on the internet to understand where they're truly coming from. What I meant is if I did I would probably find out that more often than not my initial assumptions were too harsh or otherwise inaccurate.

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?

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!?

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?
-
Ummmmm actually my discord pfp is definitely of a girl in her early twenties. Well, ok MAYBE she's a teenager but she's definitely of age!
"She's a 1,000 year old demon in the FORM of a preteen schoolgirl. It's totally different."

Yah at this point I do associate anime identity association with immaturity, and I've enjoyed a great many animes.
I just cannot imagine connecting so much that I want others to see me and think it's part of my own identity. It feels like the hallmark of someone with very limited media exposure.
-
The trick is to not have an anime pfp and just make terrible arguments in general
I'd argue that's nothing more than an ad hominem strawman.

This but also unironically.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Fully agree, you choose profile pictures based on how you want to present yourself to the world. It does communicate a message. A message that if not chosen with some level of care will signal different things to different people.
If you come to a party wearing a stained shirt and haven't showered I will assume you don't actually care. Likewise, if you are arguing politics or mature topics and your profile pic is some obscure, underage anime girl, I will also make assumptions about how much actual media exposure you have that you choose to present yourself to the world with that image.
This isn't persecution or discrimination, this is just how people relate to each other, particularly in an information world where we can't judge the rest of you.
edit: based on the replies and threads in this post, it's wild how many people do not give a shit how they are perceived by others in any regard and are angry at the idea that someone might judge them for how they present themselves. And then we wonder why everyone is so lonely and angry and cynical. These are related concepts guys, you HAVE to learn to socialize better. Seriously, this avoidance of accountability is eroding the whole fucking world.

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.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

That hasn't been my experience. My experience is that my first impressions are woefully incomplete, but rarely wrong.
You aren't reading the wrong book, you're just only getting the prelude chapter.
