Does our avatar effect your images?

I was mainly posting in response to this statement. Now that you have clarified that by judge, you meant treat differently, I understand it better. But you said you did not judge them at all, which is the passive act of simply gauging what you think they may be like, which is mostly subconscious and largely uncontrollable.

Even still, 99% of people still treat people differently based upon what they learned from judging them in the first place. As in, maybe you would talk more formally and politely if someone was dressed in a suit or a uniform, or if someone looked like they were the same obscure ethnicity as you, then you would feel closer to them right away and be more open. Just little stuff like that, but it's something mostly subconcious and wired into our biology, so when people say they don't do it (I'm a psych major) to me it usually just sounds like people trying to pretend they are unique snowflakes who are just saying it so they sound cool.

I agree with you totally on your first paragraph. I phrased my statement wrong, which I'm well aware of now. True, if I met someone, and depending on how he or she looks/acts, I might treat the person with the response that I think is most appropriate. But once you get to know the person better, one begins to treat the person differently in order to cope with better understanding of the person after the first glance. By knowing a person better, it necesitates a change since your first response will no longer be adequate to respond to the person again, unless you want to purposely piss the person off or something like that. But it remains in my philosophy to keep my assumptions and expectations low when meeting a person because then one doesn't get hurt/shocked later. It's hard, but I try to live by it. Makes relationships flow easier.

But relating back to avatars, I truly do not think that avatar's affect a person's image since the issue of identity pops up because we're dealing with the net here. Nothing can be taken at face value until further investigation.

this are getting heated.

ultenth, if its alright with you im probably going to bug you with pms on a bit of psychology. im greatly fascinated with the topic but dont have the marks necessary to obtain an education and apply myself in the field. is there any literature or websites you reccomend on the subject?

what i think was being originally applied g-money is that an avatar might be the virtual way to prepossess opinions on one another, though not nearly as strong as if meeting the person behind the screen. you can presume that i like sakura from naruto, that i like naruto and hence probably like anime... not very specific or personal, but you couldnt really know that without asking me.

@(>'.')>¿;=: My point was that an avatar tells a person superficial things about this user in question, which is not enough to even begin to judge a person's worth/image. A picture on the web can mean a thousand things, and that might be all true or all false, we would never know because it's the frickin net. Net = easy falsification.



Exactly, I wouldn't be certain that you liked Sakura from Naruto unless I asked you in person, which says that avatars or any pictures representing a user on the net can't really be taken at face value.

<--- new Bridget POV...

Q: whos bridget and what anime/ hentai is she from?

Bridget is playable character from Guilty Gear XX 2D fighting game...
Sometimes hentainized...
Bridget is a boy who dress up as a girl...

She's from the fighting game series Guilty Gear, not from any hentai.

And stick to the topic. How does a Bridget avatar affect your image, Net_Spectator? I hope you're not a guy trying to be a girl...

Bridget is sometimes hentainized by Doujin Artists...
I'm not saying he is a hentai chara...

And why do I use her... I mean him... is by request of Ramsus...
Was it?

Is this the Nun with the possesed Yoyo? Lol, I like using him/her...whatever.

I don't think the yoyo is possessed. Though I could be wrong.

Edit: And yeah he's a fun character. And yes I made Net_Spectator change his avatar to Bridget.

Kheheheh...

Why don't you change your avatar too? I think you should use other Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei characters... one of the girls...

may i suggest the emo version of the sensei ?

Not that one because when I was first choosing an avatar for Fakku it was between this one and that one. Also the reason I haven't changed mine yet is because I'm lazy and don't really do things just because other people are doing it. Though if someone finds me a spectacular one of Kiri Komori I might.

I'll go find one...

change to handsome avatar.

new avatar que random FMA characters

"I keep mixing up MIB with York, I just dont know why"

Anbd thats why I changed my avatar.

I don't even remember how my avatar looks like.

edit: oh, know I see. It looks crappy, like it's saying "you need something new".
