A profile picture is important

It's crazy that just by looking at someone's profile picture, I can judge their entire personality and guess their age, gender, passion, etc... Like the first thing I see from an user is the image they choose as their pfp (if they have one) so I can imagine what type of person they are in general

It seems like a lot of people also judge other people based only on the pfp (and their username). I'm not saying that it's good since it creates exaggerated stereotypes like "anime pfp means that you're ugly" or "default pfp means that you're chad", but does it really give you an idea of the type of person you're dealing with? What do you think about it?

Not sure, I just don't really care honestly. I don't talk to many people a lot so I barely remember them unless it is frequent interactions, I kinda just ignore names or pfp unless I catch curiousity

tbh, with how often i swap pfps and how little similarity they have to one another (outside of being 2d art most of the time), there's not much you could draw out of me beyond "they like this thing and this character"

as for other people, i usually imagine them as their pfp and it kinda affects how i read their posts. however, i wouldn't say i could infer anything about their entire personality and whatnot from that
tbh im quite like mike, steven and expunged
shy, but also bubbly and polite

I wouldn't really agree on this for the most part.
It can be easy to tell what that may be interested in but that is really about it.

It doesn't really matter, at least to me. I see avatars as little snippets of someone's interests. I put sonic as my pfp because I mained sonic in smash, and therefore, he's kind of one of my interests.

I sometimes thought about this too when choosing my profile picture. Though In the end, I don't care much.

People can construct whole different persona on the Internet than their real self counterpart but I'm not too sure about this. When I can't visually see who might be this person be, idk, I just not think based on their pfp

Profile Pictures (sometimes) help me determine the age or mental age of an individual.

I don't think it's possible to really tell, you're just getting a very distorted view

Well, there are a lot of nuances as to how to judge someone by their pfp, the personality of the character can be completely different as appearances might suggest, or the source where that pfp came from, or whether the person is using that pfp ironically or not. You can get a general idea of the person but the image is still to vague to judge properly.

Except if they're using an ahegao pfp, these people are to be avoided.

Yeah, it just gives a vague idea of who the person might be, but can be very wrong
