Avatars

and is it just me, or do other users associate the users gender with the person they choose in their avatar?

Not only gender, the complete looks. So now I have to change my image of kong from Philip Seymour Hoffman to "the most beautiful woman of all time".

but Shilip Peemore Often was "the most beautiful woman of all time".

Philip Seymour Hoffman is more accurate, I just wanted to mix it up.

[Onderhond]

She looks like an 80s Natalie Portman in that pic. Never would've guessed it was Isabelle Huppert.

Yes. And it's true in my case. I actually am both Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Sorry I've pimped one of my movies a lot and pretended not to be half-Canadian, eh.

Same here, only after googling the image. Kinda cool surprise there. In contrast to other women that were teenager bed room poster defaults called "most beautiful woman of all time", her acting and movie choices from the late 80s through the 2010s were also pretty interesting, so there's that.

By the way, with 40s & 50s actresses (and actors) avatars, I seldom make the assumption that this is what the user looks like.
I totally think it for Ebbywebby though! And joachim, too! Seems a little angry to me. Maybe because of the many animation titles in official lists.

Your avatar is amazingly close though

[Torgo]

.. yeah, I actually went too far with blurring the lines between my alter ego Torgo and my real self. Starting to feel how my perception of identity dissolves.

My avatar doesn't look angry, does it? You're still thinking of my previous pic.
In case you're wondering what I really look like, this is a real picture of me.

[Armoreska]

psst you could make a poll thread (about avatar association)

[GruesomeTwosome]

I am now proudly representing the greatest actress (and most beautiful woman, as far as I'm concerned) of all time.

don't think I recognize her

and is it just me, or do other users associate the users gender with the person they choose in their avatar?

Isabelle Huppert. That's a pic MUBI posted on Facebook months ago and I've been obsessed with it ever since. She always looks stunning, but I particularly appreciate this hairstyle for her.

I don't identify with a gender, so either way works for me.

Never would have guessed that pic is Huppert, that has to be the least Isabelle Huppert-looking photo of Isabelle Huppert that I've seen. I would have guessed it was the lead singer of an early to mid-'80s New Wave girl group. I do like the look, though.

[Torgo]

Well, it's a bald guy in black clothing literally screaming out his lungs in what seems not to be out of joy ..

Hasn't your earlier picture been of the singer of Meshuggah? Because that would be one of my favorite bands actually. Maybe I'm mixing it up.


(Thanks for the photo though, I think it's new to me )

[Armoreska]

That's not Joachimt but it's pretty close so whatever.

[Torgo]

.. now I get it, haha

My previous pic was the same guy as this pic: Devin Townsend
Metal singers screaming are not angry. Or do you think the singer of Meshuggah is angry all the time. Devin is actually always in a very happy mood when he's on stage:

[joachimt]

Technically it is Joachim T.

That was cool, from 6:20 on I thought I was listening to some new piece by Ayreon. Very similar so might have to explore a bit.

Ah, alright. Well it's some Prog-related metal stuff after all, these people FRIGHTEN ME!

Before I turn this into a discussion about the course Leprous have taken over the past decade, I will leave it at that.

I’ve changed my old, broken avatar in a flashy «new» one. Thanks Torgo.

are you kidding? I still think St G looks remarkably like Sir Dirk Bogarde (another old avatar for newer users)

Yes, please leave it at that. If you start talking negative about Leprous, I'll leave this forum.

There are lepers in the forum?

I suck at these, never get one right
I googled your picture for some clarity. For others who still want to play: You may click on the following spoiler, but it will be even less helpful for you!

It's the most possible boring answer but: nope. Just some exhibition, a kinda meh one also. This fish carpet was the absolute highlight for me.

It's pretty cool and a good picture composition wise some might even go so far as to say it would make a good avatar (but I understand why one would choose not to user their own picture online in this day and age)

[Ebbywebby]

Wow. Someone else out there pulled out the very same frame/line.

Yesss that carp carpet is fire!

"Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom" by Ilya Repin.

It's based on a medieval epic poem about a musician who doesn't pay the Tsar of the Sea enough gold, he has to play his zither underwater to please the Tsar, gets a choice of sea maidens to marry but wakes up the next morning reunited with his wife.

Your new avatar is really annoying. Every time you post I'm thinking it's Arthur.

[Torgo]

Also, such a huge loss of the lam

[xianjiro]

I'm just waiting to see if he can replace the lambs face with every forum member's favorite actor.

[Lammetje]

Sorry guys. I have created a new avatar but the file is too big.
