This but also unironically.

Hi, I AM IN YOUR WIFI. NOW RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU BAKA
Fuck That now it’s full on war
what the fuck is a “baka”
Means stupid, but can have different meanings depending on context, inflection, or pronunciation. For example it can be used for a rough equivalent to calling someone a dumbass.
Haha, what a baka, doesn’t know what it means, lol.
Maybe you just need to find the right community for your profile picture? Then you are unstoppable.
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.
Indeed, which is why getting shot in the heel was every warrior’s Achilles Heel.
tbf, an arrow anywhere was bad news.
It could be worse. They could have a greek marble bust with laser eyes instead of the anime pfp.
Me, a Classics enjoyer, immediately suspecting someone of fascism when they have a Graeco-Roman bust pfp:
SiIvaGunner noooo don’t start world rip 3
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.
Instead I now use [email protected]
(much more professional)
Genuinely.
Or a reflection of your prowess as a fisherman
Well, of course, there’s nowhere near enough Xs in that username.
fumo fumo
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?
Anime profile pics are cringe, truly
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.
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.
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?
Yeah, I’m actually surprised to see so many people agreeing with this bullshit on Lemmy.
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.
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.

I wonder if lemmy would be better or worse with profile pictures
[checks my profile pic]
gonna be real, I literally never noticed those before.
I can’t see them on Voyager so they de facto don’t exist lol
Same with Boost XD
They’re on boost, you just need to open someone profile
Ha, my fist is impervious to those attacks!
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?

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.
Yeah but you’re on .world, so lets take what you have to say with a bucket of salt.
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.
Yah but we quickly all learn to just avoid tankie communities.
Of course someone on .world would say that. /j
But also blocking .ml instances by default is a great way to reduce your exposure to stupid ass takes and arguments. /not a joke
World is worse than ml imo. So much worse.
Except people accidentally join dumb instances. Nobody accidentally sets their pfp as a preteen anime girl. That shit is a choice.
Did actually do that once.
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.”
I feel seen
Is it really a valid point if you have an anime PFP?
