On Lemmy I feel like we do the same except for instances. Some person signs up with an instance oblivious to its politics but will get judged based on it.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 72 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Of course someone on .world would say that. /j

[–] lemjukes@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

But also blocking .ml instances by default is a great way to reduce your exposure to stupid ass takes and arguments. /not a joke

Except people accidentally join dumb instances. Nobody accidentally sets their pfp as a preteen anime girl. That shit is a choice.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ummmmm actually my discord pfp is definitely of a girl in her early twenties. Well, ok MAYBE she's a teenager but she's definitely of age!

Yeah but you're on .world, so lets take what you have to say with a bucket of salt.

Is it really a valid point if you have an anime PFP?

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 32 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Hot take: it’s totally fair to judge someone based on their avatar as that’s literary what it is, a pictorial summary of what you’re all about.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago (20 children)

Counterpoint: sometimes it's just a funny picture I like, and sometimes it's some anime titties I like. Assuming it's always going to be a meaningful representation of the user is unrealistic.

rarely

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You're judging them based off of what is ostensibly a first impression they have chosen for themselves. I can't imagine a scenario where that's not fair. And you don't need to form an entire opinion, but the opinion starts there. If their picture was a sports team I didn't like, some furry shit, or even MAGA, I'd form some opinions out of the gate.

Fully agree, you choose profile pictures based on how you want to present yourself to the world. It does communicate a message. A message that if not chosen with some level of care will signal different things to different people.

If you come to a party wearing a stained shirt and haven't showered I will assume you don't actually care. Likewise, if you are arguing politics or mature topics and your profile pic is some obscure, underage anime girl, I will also make assumptions about how much actual media exposure you have that you choose to present yourself to the world with that image.

This isn't persecution or discrimination, this is just how people relate to each other, particularly in an information world where we can't judge the rest of you.

edit: based on the replies and threads in this post, it's wild how many people do not give a shit how they are perceived by others in any regard and are angry at the idea that someone might judge them for how they present themselves. And then we wonder why everyone is so lonely and angry and cynical. These are related concepts guys, you HAVE to learn to socialize better. Seriously, this avoidance of accountability is eroding the whole fucking world.

Your not going to stop me from saying unhinged shit in political subs.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

And you can't stop me from feeling your argument is invalid

Can't argue with that.

Maybe you just need to find the right community for your profile picture? Then you are unstoppable.

Plot twist - the one calling out your anime pfp has a furry pfp

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago

If the topic is tech related, the furry instantly gains +1 credibility

The trick is to not have an anime pfp and just make terrible arguments in general

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, hi Achilles! How have the last dozen centuries been?

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I'd say kicking it but frankly not a lot of kicking anything with the ankle. Uk how it is. Generally Greece hasn't been friendly towards people with kinetic disabilities what with all the stairs and ships and all, so I live on an island relying on the community.

Lovely woman opened a hotel here. Had to move out when her daughter was gonna get married but apparently there was like 3 men who might be her dad...and they sang about it? Idk lotta personal issues there. So just hanging around with some guy and his rock these days.

It could be worse. They could have a greek marble bust with laser eyes instead of the anime pfp.

Me, a Classics enjoyer, immediately suspecting someone of fascism when they have a Graeco-Roman bust pfp:

Similar to the Yahoo email I created when I was 14. Somehow C0d_G0dx69_420@yahoo (Made up but similar) isn't quite the professional impression I want to make now a days.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Instead I now use C0d_G0dx69_420@proton.me

The story of Achilles has always creeped me out. Imagine getting shot in the heel with a fucking arrow. Seems like one of the worst places. OTOH I guess no place is exactly good.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, back then, a complete Achilles rupture likely meant you were permanently disabled.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Indeed, which is why getting shot in the heel was every warrior's Achilles Heel.

[–] neclimdul@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I see no such weakness for you. Unless there's a new pug anime I need to watch. In which case why have you been holding out?
