Hot take: it’s totally fair to judge someone based on their avatar as that’s literary what it is, a pictorial summary of what you’re all about.
Counterpoint: sometimes it's just a funny picture I like, and sometimes it's some anime titties I like. Assuming it's always going to be a meaningful representation of the user is unrealistic.
Fully fair, likewise it's also fully fair for someone to make judgements on you based on that funny picture if you choose to engage in different kinds of conversations outside of the space where people joke about funny pictures.
Sure, just like it's fully fair for people to clown on someone for judging them based on something as unserious as a social media profile picture.
Then congratulations, now instead of engaging and interacting it's just an immature schoolyard shouting match which could have been avoided by taking more care in how you present yourself.
But I am gathering that there are a lot of people who really enjoy schoolyard shouting matches and invite them because it makes them feel superior to fight others over trivial nonsense.
Or, and hear me out here, instead of escalating to a "immature schoolyard shouting match" for whatever reason, you could look at a person's pfp, have your feelings about it, and then move on to something that actually matters
The irony of you saying this is not lost on me
Do you think this is a shouting match?
No, but you are fighting over trivial nonsense
It absolutely makes my day that you think this is a fight. Have fun out there.
Ah, and there's the air of superiority. Beautiful irony.
