Avatars

I thought I posted here already about my current avatar. Anyway, I've posted about this guy often enough, so I guess you know by now.

he's a politician, right

It's from his passionate speech against immigrants that nabbed him the president's throne. It's an official check too.

thought so - bet he's an anti-vaxxer and is opposed to mask wearers as well

Yeah, he's an ultra right-wing politician. In this picture he's having the stage at a party meeting and he's shouting "WHITE POOOOOOOOWER"!!



Let me rectify this immediately in case he happens to read this, because it's the complete opposite actually. He's very left-wing, very much making a case for nature and environment. He's a musician (duh) from Canada and on stage he's the most enjoyable person I've ever seen.

Clearly spreading a lot of germs shouting without a mask

The first few months (or maybe even a year) after J-Dog adopted his new avatar, upon seeing that avatar it would look to me like someone who got hit in his eye with either the 8 ball or the black ball from a snooker set. After a second or so I'd be like "no that's a dude yelling into a mic, just like the previous 20 times you saw that avatar." But my brain seems to have finally learned its lesson now.

[xianjiro]

have to admit, though, I've absolutely no face recognition. Might know the band or even his name, but yeah, he looks like some neo-fasc nutter screaming about mudbloods or something (sorry, but it's just what I see and while I associate the avatar with your posts, I don't associate any of those ideas with you - thus a bit of cognitive dissonance when I first saw the avatar)

[Onderhond]

He looks like a darts player to me.

Adam finally has an avatar now. I believe Local and Allie are among the biggest posters who don't have one.

Now that I've finally joined the group of people with avatars, I think it's time to campaign for the avatar-less members to get one.

[xianjiro]

What inducements you got for the avatarless? And that doesn't include me - I'll return to my usual avatar when the US gets a president.

at least 4 years of black it is then

You have an avatar

I’ll change it to a friendlier pic of the same guy (when I’m back home).

I hope that's not because we've been teasing you Been doing much PVV canvasing on vacation?

There's always a bit of truth in teasing, isn't there?
It's just fun to have a new one now and then, but when you associate my avatar with the PVV (you're talking about the ultra right party in The Netherlands, right?), it's certainly time for a new one.

[xianjiro]

LOL - you should know the answer to that by now. Of course that's exactly what I meant! (Even though I admit I had to look it up since while I was familiar with the Dutch far wrong on some level, I didn't have their name/acronym - or in this case, acridnym). There are other kinds of woke - one of which is aware what's happening around the planet, not that I mean to brag, much.

Is this better? Same guy.

I had one at one point.. I think I lost it when we switched to the new forum a couple years ago?

Yep, same as me. Took me a couple of years to get a new one as well.

I am so happy I have tears in my eyes.

But seriously though, now that it is gone, I really did hate your last avatar. Looked like a very angry screaming man about to eat a ball.

Maybe it is because I am simple minded, but I find that people's avatars affect how we view that person a little bit. Something goofy - lighthearted, some thing serious - thinker, image from a silent film - older person, etc. Complete crap of course, but it flavours the posts a little bit. Your old avatar made your comments seem angry and annoyed.

[joachimt]

At the official forum my avatar is a little pic of my daughter flying like a butterfly when she was very little. Do you think I'm a kinder person there?

But I understand what you're saying. I'm having the same ideas with some avatars as well. monty has always been a grumpy man to me........ oh wait, he really is!

[Armoreska]

Avatars don't affect how I view somebody.
Anyway it won't affect how I view JT since we already know how he looks in RL anyway.

But escaping a cage to faceplant is actually an allegory for my life.
