November Rain Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Another woman voting J'n'D... I voted Humorous & harmless. It's just a consumer/capitalist joke. Doesn't offend me at all. There are a couple of avatars that I find disturbing, but yours isn't one of them. As for those that find the moving avatars annoying, you'll all be pleased to see I've changed mine...

Upon seeing his avatar I complained with the mod's why he can have one and I cant. Bitching?! Maybe, I didn't complain, just challanged the mod's. So when he makes a poll than I can only think of what has happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo8 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 So I guess my avatar must be one of the annoying ones.Never judge a poster by his or her cover I say! I think it's a funny avatar keep it I also didn't click it was motor related thought it was a stick man humping his briefcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richb2004v2 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 If I were 12 years old I might find the avatar amusing. However I don’t think it is really offensive in any way, unless you are a monk or a Muslim or some such. I opted for ‘no thoughts either way’, since there wasn’t a 'pathetic/crap' option.

Grover Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 momo, when I see your avatar I think of an immature adolescent. It is only slightly funny, in an anally expulsive sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momo8 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 And I prefer your old avatar Grover but as to moi being an immature adolescent? It's what you write that counts not the avatar...people choose avatars for different reasons we can have a "Why Did You Choose Your Avatar?

I dont think I said you are an immature adolescent, its just the association that springs to mind when I see the image. I made this association because I think I tried something like this once or twice. The thing about avatars is without even reading a single post, people can make a judgment. With a striking avatar, in once brief glance a whole series of associations will come up, perhaps in a more potent way than 500 posts could.

With a striking avatar, in once brief glance a whole series of associations will come up, perhaps in a more potent way than 500 posts could. Grover, you must have a lovely life with very little to worry about, other than superficial impressions. My avatar wasn't chosen, as such, it was just the first of a few that I managed to download, after that I tried to change it but my pc skills are very limited. Soon after I realized how people (like yourself) react to different avatars and decided not to change it. It's very easy to make a small leap from this social forum into society's "forum" and imagine how you may behave in everyday life to people / things and the pictures / words that you "associate "with them. You are a little bit of a worry! Other people, like say; Jet, may not like the first impression but are willing to control their "associations" and move on. I suspect that I'd much rather share a beer with jet than yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkangorito Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 When people say things like, "it made me feel...." or "your comment offended me", I can't help but wonder how a thought in one persons head can be controlled by a separate person or the actions of that separate person. Obviously, ones thoughts cannot be controlled by separate persons so the idea of offense is null & void. Lazy people who are afraid to change use this "you offended me" tactic in order to try to get you to change (instead of them). I think your avatar is simply another avatar & why should you give a toss what I (or anybody else) think. As a matter of fact, I think it needs to be much more controversial to stir up the "I can't change because I'm too lazy or I think that I'm choiceless in these matters" crowd. That feels better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpuiman Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I too thought it was someone who was screwing their luggage. I really don't care what people use as avatars. I've often thought of changing mine, but it really becomes your identity at a glance. Just think of the familiar avatars you see, and can identify in a millisecond....libya, britmaveric, george, jai dee, lao po, etc. I didn't put much thought in to mine....just the first "pumpui" guy I came across.
