Anime detected, opinion rejected

This but also unironically.

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.
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.

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.
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.

Fully fair, likewise it's also fully fair for someone to make judgements on you based on that funny picture if you choose to engage in different kinds of conversations outside of the space where people joke about funny pictures.

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.
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.

Plot twist - the one calling out your anime pfp has a furry pfp
wrote on last edited by [email protected]If you witness that kind of exchange taking place, you can probably toss the entire convo out.
Although, I would lean more towards the furry pic than the anime pic, at least furries are largely autistic adults who consume a ton of information and may have more educated opinions on some topics. At least from my experience working adjacent to the tech sector.
Whereas a suspiciously large percentage of people who choose anime profile pics are just saying "this is a cartoon girl I want to bang" while also being a raging nazi online.

Furry pfp means chaotic neutral. They can do whatever.
Also, they drew the pfp themselves on some drawing tablet.
I used to shake my fist at how many people had really shitty hand-drawn furry profile pics and often made the judgement that they drew furry shit just because it's harder to draw people's faces.
Now I instantly praise anyone who has any kind of low-quality but obviously non-AI made imagery on display to the world. I don't care if it's ball-point pen on lined notebook paper. You rock on with that artistic bravery king or queen.

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.
Yah but we quickly all learn to just avoid tankie communities.

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.
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.

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.

Good thing my joke comment on a joke thread on a meme post didn't imply anything of the sort then

Bro do you think I typed this through clenched teeth or something? My comment was in exactly the same light tone as yours.

Nope, just clarifying since you seemed to be confused. Anything else I can help with, let me know partner

Similar to the Yahoo email I created when I was 14. Somehow C0d_G0dx69_420@yahoo (Made up but similar) isn't quite the professional impression I want to make now a days.
Well, of course, there's nowhere near enough Xs in that username.

You don't want a ladder unless you are cleaning the gutters
Not my first language, sorry

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.
