What Does an Avatar Say About a Person

Post Reply New Topic

My avatar says that I like flowers, especially pink flowers. One of my favorites being of course, dianthus.

I've already been judged and trolled because of the avatar the the cartoon non-anthropomorphic wolf, which I drew myself, that I used to have on YouTube (Yes, I am STILL going on about that. I may never get over it, so don't tell me to just get over it because I don't have an "over it" switch), so I'd hate to think what abuse and ridicule I'd face if I actually showed my real self, being ugly, fat, female, forty-two and not feminine.

Since most of the videos on my channel are of Sims games, I renamed myself Simaginary Friend, and use a generic female Sim's face as an avatar. But I feel that it implies that my only interests are Sim games when I also have videos of my arts and crafts. I may change the avatar to something I actually drew or crafted. Because I want people to see my artwork, not me.

Of course, I also currently have an alien-related Sims 2 avatar, fitting since my username here is lostonearth. I tried to post one of my drawings as an avatar but it kept saying I had two many pixels. I would have to be able to draw images tiny enough to be seen under a microscope in order to make them fit in such a measly amount of pixels.

I like nature and it reminds me of a nature center that I go to.

I don't look like a person in a mirror.

This avatar seemed to be a fitting representation of myself, given the circumstances.

Even if a person chooses a photo of himself as an avatar, he's still *choosing* one two-dimensional, static image which shows only part of him.

I think one can look for meaning in whatever one chooses. In this case, I think it would be a mistake to infer anything about one picture chosen by an individual member... When they've likely also posted more than a thousand words..

I am a horticulturist, basically a "professional gardener," and my avatar is a picture I took of one of the gardens I tend.

What does that say about me? I think it says that I'm happy with my career and proud of my work.

My avatar is a depiction Bentley Ellicott, the protagonist in the novel Prince Ombra by Roderick MacLeish.
Cool book cover illustration of a kid who didn't fit in.

My avatar is a picture of one of the members of the band The Residents. They are one of my favorite bands and I like that they never show their faces, but instead want the focus to be on their music and what they are expressing.

I didn't choose a picture of myself because, for me, it doesn't feel right.

I guess I'll follow in same vein as previous answers. Though that more like "why did you pick Your avatar?"



It is me on a sunny day on a lawn waiting for school bus superimposed with green field across street and saturation kicked up 20% so the sunlight looks like atomic flash bang. Comment about zombies.

Most of my tumblr/meme type posts are about the Zombie Apocalypse, Bacon, Chocolate, Beer, Anime or Music


I guess it says I can use photoshop if available and that I am irreverantly quirky about a imaginary world crisis?

Well, mine shows that I'm Autistic since Shiny pokemon are like autistic in the fact that they're rare, and not normal. Also it shows that I like Penguins, Pokemons, and Kings.

where I live, also I thought it looked kind of cool

it says: "can't decide sh**"

I think it just generally represents interests or who they are really as aposed to what they actually look like, for example mines tails because tails is my favorite character ever, so my avatar just represents my love of the sonic series really
