Anime detected, opinion rejected

I love that you're getting downvoted for this accurate assessment of how adults engage with each other.
Honestly, I realized a while back that Lemmy is largely kids. Like, to me at least if you're under 25 you're a kid, and I think most users here are even younger. Maybe across the social internet broadly we have massively misjudged how many adults actually shape our global conversations.
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.

Brother it's a picture. I'm not giving the internet my real face. I'm not uploading a picture of my lifted truck nor my hellcat. Some of yall are just haters projecting. It ain't that deep.
The topic is about the perceptions of others, it's not deep to you but someone else might read into, particularly if you find yourself having a serious (deep) conversation and don't want to be judged unfairly. If you don't care about your self-presentation or how to manage the impressions others have of you, then great, no need to even comment here.
If you do care, and yes you do, then think about it from someone else's perspective.
This "the curtains were just blue" or the "just put the X in the bag" anti-thinking mentality is eroding our whole world. Try to avoid doing that.

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.
Then congratulations, now instead of engaging and interacting it's just an immature schoolyard shouting match which could have been avoided by taking more care in how you present yourself.
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.

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

The irony of you saying this is not lost on me

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.

You could say that for anyone using any pop culture reference as a pf pic, really.

Sure, and I do, but anime profile pics come with extra baggage and we all know it.

We can definitely agree to disagree there.

You don't have to agree with me, the topic is about people generally and their perceptions, if this wasn't something shared by a number of people this wouldn't be a post. You can disagree with me all you want, you will still encounter people who will judge in different ways depending on how you present yourself online. If you don't like it, go change the world.

It absolutely makes my day that you think this is a fight. Have fun out there.

Yes I fully understand some people have genuine mental health issues and believe a profile picture being rooted in a form of media someone else personally enjoys somehow invalidates their opinion. The people who truly hold this perception, themselves, often don't understand or hate from the outside.
Those who don't understand something will often degrade or disregard it in an attempt to maintain credibility with others who share the same warped views. This is tribalism mixed with counter culture.
There is no foundation for a good faith discussion. To what end would telling an idiot they're an idiot grant either of us?

You likely hold many such superficial judgements, we all do about something or other. I don't think I would frame it as "mental illness" without expecting a lot of pushback from such an inflammatory statement. Normal, healthy people make judgements all day long based on the most superficial of ideas and perceptions, the question is how much you personally care.
If it's strangers on the internet you're just bullshitting with, I can't imagine caring about how some stranger perceives you. But these things can become self-harmful if you're genuinely trying to be heard and understood about something that's important to you. If you've spent any amount of time on social media (including forums like this) I'm sure you've seen this play out over and over, where people end up deeply stressed because they're talking past each other and dismissing each other's actual feelings about things that are important to each other.
This is what I decry, the lack of effort to be heard about important ideas, even if subjectively important, we're all collectively really neglecting effort and embracing anti-intellectual catchphrases (just put the X in the bag, the curtains were just blue, I ain't readin all that, etc.) and making our lack of effort to communicate other people's problem when it goes wrong.
If you think none of this matters, end up in a role of responsibility and have to spend a month interviewing people for a role of great responsibility and sifting through the masses of young people who make zero effort and feel entitled to rewards for it.

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.

Instead I now use [email protected]

Indeed, which is why getting shot in the heel was every warrior's Achilles Heel.
