The influence of avatars

[Lady_X]

Avatars actually influence me somewhat. For example, since Costrin changed his avatar, I haven't been able to actually take him seriously. Lady X's avatar makes me think that I'm being interrorgated by a bad technicolor film.

hey...did you just add that bit? hmm...well...what does that MEAN?! how does it make you feeel? haha... scary? bad? what??...you like me less because of it?! well screw you!...i'm just kidding let's be friends...don't be afraid...i nice sweet person...promise.

Your avatar doesn't look that bad.

It just looks like an 8-bit bowling pin with someone's face plastered on it. But it doesn't make you seem bad or anything, it just makes you seem silly/random/amusing.

To me your avatar looks feminine (= Hawt!)... Sprinkle some craziness on top of that.

oh what a weird thing to say! haha

to me it looks like a girl whos either gonna slap me or push me against the wall and abuse me in all sorts of more than pleasant ways

 

[Lady_X]

keep em guessin...that's what i always say...haha

 

[Fluffywolf]

Lady X's avatar? Pretty damn sexy to me. Looks like a girl that doesn't take no for an answer. :3

 

[Phantonym]

Seeing Twiggy makes me think about Lady X's avatar. That's how much avatars influence me

It always takes me a while to get used to people's new avatars, though.

i wonder if anyone is influenced to act differently based on their own avatar?

i don't think i am influenced by my avatar, but i only put up avatars that are already in line with who i am.
but i am influenced by all your avatars, for sure.

Same with me. I already "act like" my avatars; I chose them so I could get across as much of who I am as possible, without posting a photo of myself

I've liked all of your avatars (and wolfy's), so far. Maybe it's the black and white. Combined with the laidback posting style, it makes me think of you two as down-to-earth, yet worldly and open people. Which I'm sure you are

It influences my perception of their personality; how and what they associate themselves with, even how they want to be associated. With the smallest things you can say a whole lot. Like a wise man once said, "picture speaks more than a 1000 words".

Yeah, now i picture you as a horror movie character.

 

[substitute]

At this point it doesn't matter what substitute's avatar is. When I read his posts first I picture Q from Star Trek. Then I picture Piers Morgan because they look alike to me and Piers strikes me as an ENTP on top of that. So when I read substitute's posts I imagine Piers Morgan talking.

Heh. Well I've got the blue flame at the mo, cos it's kinda like me. Burns bright and long, but doesn't harm anything and is... cold

 

[tibby]

Yeah, now i picture you as a horror movie character.

Of course I apply this only to others' avatars. Mine are totally random and insignificant

 

[Oom]

Heh. Well I've got the blue flame at the mo, cos it's kinda like me. Burns bright and long, but doesn't harm anything and is... cold

I take it you've never put your hand in a blue flame before?

 

[substitute]

Are you seriously asking that question of an ENTP?

Your avatar just looks a bit intimidating. Of course, your line also somewhat describes INTP's. We seem like psychopaths externally, but we're really soft and fluffy on the inside, and now that you know, you have to die >:|.

 

[Oom]

Are you seriously asking that question of an ENTP?

I'd dare to say, "Yeah."

 

[substitute]

I'd dare to say, "Yeah."

heh, well, think of ENTP and ISTP as probably the most likely types to have put their hand in a flame out of sheer curiosity

 

[Kingfisher]

heh, well, think of ENTP and ISTP as probably the most likely types to have put their hand in a flame out of sheer curiosity

yeah, it turns out they're hot?? what's the deal with that?

 

[Fidelia]

Does the gender of the avatar make a difference? All the avatars that I have used or considered have a man in the picture even though I'm not one. I used to have Einstein playing a violin and now I got some old man busking. I also had a couple of Anora Spence pictures, but didn't think they'd show up as well here.
