In comment sections or in community pages, it’s mostly an ocean of default avatars. Why do you choose to stand out with a custom avatar on this semi-anonymous platform?

    It makes my username make more sense. Plus, you made this one for me, so there’s that. Plus plus, I’m not here to be “anonymous”.

    I also prefer dealing with people who have images. I dunno, it’s just like putting a “face” to the words.

      I consider this one to be my public/serious account, so, eh why not, it adds a face, a personnality. And I think I look cute on it. Due to the origin of my nickname, it’s realllly not that hard to find out who I am. Facebook ruined the anonymity aspect a decade ago, so I just live with it. And it’s a little bit more recognizable than just the username. For anonymity I have alts.

      It has some downsides though, like people telling me I look like I got my dick chopped off. I’m cis, my dick is perfectly intact. Come on guys it’s just hair dye lol.
