meanwhile BRBP is scared because he cant understand that people would like such things so he has to come up with lame excuses and namecalling to make himself feel better.

Honestly, I have to agree to a certain point with BRBP because what he said is literally what most people, who don't know much about these kind of things we're discussing, think about those who are into this kind of stuff.

If we're talking about stereotypes, yes, they are but we can't really blame them, they're just putting names to things as they already are(?)

while there are a billion choices out there.
Repeat fact, but of the billion choices most are little girls so the chances are more or less pre set (then again assuming they only picked of pre-drawn ones because they can't draw their own)

Note: anything below this is my speculation only, do not take it as fact.

As for character choice, assuming they could draw their own and aren't limited by the already present options, it could be that because males would most often watch anime made for a male demographic (obviously) and such anime tend to have more female than male characters and a higher chance of having a female main character, and these characters would get more screentime/character development than the male characters in such anime, which would lead to the viewer tending to more easily like them than the male characters in the series, causing them to pick said characters for their profile pictures.

As I said earlier in one of my other posts, it's perhaps something people do unconsciously without giving it too much thought like we're doing right now. Perhaps something that may support what you said could be that there's been a bigger tendency of throwing out more females main characters in anime than male ones, therefore almost everyone is immediately attracted to the protagonist and can't help but put its face everywhere he/she can.

Again, these are only safe assumptions we can make up in the go but I'm glad that at least some people gave it a thought with me. :-)

OP, you're looking into it too deep. Most weebs don't identify with their avatars. There are some, however, such as Tomoko-fags Cebruz, who do claim to identify with their anime character well Cebruz has actually said he doesn't identify with her, I don't believe it.

I use an anime girl as an avatar because I find girls in general are cuter than guys and I like cute things.

I agree with everyone who said "its just because i like girls more than boys".
Thats why i also prefer to choose a girl in mmorpgs instead of a boy. BECAUSE NOONE SUSPECTS THE POWER IN SUCH A LIL GIRL xD

AND its not that i love little girls lol... maybe there are some pervs in the anime scene which love lil girls but i´d say 99,9% are NOT.
Also you play this game which is kinda based on "cuteness"... And thats normally what girls like.

Girls and boys are somehow similar in some things... There are girls which like football..and there are boys which play osu... And its not because the girl feels like a boy.... i know for example some hot chicks which play football...and they like boys ..definetely lol :3.
Its the same with this avatars... Its just because you like/prefer something more in my opinion.

I think most people just take pictures/characters that they like and have those as their avatar. E.G. I like Shinji as a character, so here he is. I also like a giant octohedron called Ramiel, so she was my avatar for a while.

it's not about identifying yourself with something. avatar is just a way to show everyone what you're sexually attracted to

Well I guess I sexually attracted to a pink space invader...

I just chose this this to be easily identified and I like the image.

lolis are not children, they are physically a child yes but have the mind of an adult, which makes it perfectly fine in fantasy and in reality would be just as morally upstanding as doing it with a midget.

and yet it's still illegal in most countries. you can go to jail for fapping to pixels on a screen. that is the society we live in.

Typically no; much of the charm from lolis comes from the fetishization of innocence and not all them (though a surprisingly decent portion of them) are going to be hella old women with the body of a nine year old. Most of them will just be little girls.

If you jack it to them I will certainly frown at you, but I don't see it as grounds for arrest as the harm of CP upon actual children is completely absent in such animated media.

Well these avatars are mostly pretty nice looking especially when the guys using that type of avatar talks like a drunk dude.

Even if they're not portrayed to be old women in young bodies, they're definitely not realistic portrayals of real girls that age, physical or mentally. Most girls that age aren't horny as fuck. The vast majority of lolicon isn't like that Gieger Counter (don't look into the contect of imahes of this forum if you value your innocence...)

What kind of Australian wouldn't prefer to be outside wrestling crocodiles though

Also, David Cameron wants Whatsapp and Snapchat banned, because he's a fucking coward.

Assuming this game is played by both men and women equally (making it an impossible 50% / 50%), with no means to insult or hate on anyone, I'd like to know why the fuck do men identify themselves with cute little bitches so much? If it's because "she's from my favorite anime" I could understand a little bit there are just plenty of masculine mother fuckers out there that I don't understand.

This dude right here will make you eat shit for days with overloaded testosterone.

Sometimes guys might not be sure about what gender they identify as just a personal preference on each individual c:!

The necro though

I feel that my situation is applicable enough to answer. My avatar is what it is because I like ponies. I don't really think I can say it any better than that.

You like them? Are you sexually attracted to horses?
