A lot of avatars around here make me uncomfortable. A long time ago I used to complain about it, but I just gave up and stopped visiting here from work. That's probably a good idea anyway.

It pretty much disgusted and freaked me out at first, but now it is changing my perceptions of attractiveness in unforeseen ways.

Katie's I've gotten over and just generally think is silly, but yeah, the tongue thing....I don't know man, it gives me the creeps. But it's also one of those avatars that's like a train wreck - it's awful, but you can't stop watching.

Unlike Jodie's P-Diddy/Bjork icon which makes me laugh every freaking time. And the cute animated animal ones. Those are awesome and I watch them all the time.

Trollstormur's puke face wash was too epic to be gross. But the split tongue, as I've said before... eugh. Doing stuff like that to your body just hits all the wrong buttons.

I haven't got any problems with it either, and I usually hate animated avatars. I thought it was interesting the first time I saw it because I couldn't figure out how each half was moving independently, then I remembered I could curl my tongue into a W shape and stopped thinking about it.

There's nothing gross about splitting your tongue. It's no more "wrong" than piercing your ears or dyeing your hair, two things which are perfectly common and considered normal.

I'm fine with split tongues. Steve's has never bothered me. It's the avatar that bothers me. Why? I don't really know. Maybe just because it doesn't stop, who knows. Animated avatars are too distracting for me to ignore, I guess.

So what makes an avatar "good" or "best"?

Also, if I'm scrolling through a thread I get my posts and Johnny's posts mixed up all the time even though the avatars aren't all that similar. I think it's those big ugly blue stars camouflaging everything underneath them.

i have been on this forum for like four years and still have never had an avatar.

i like it when regulars have the same avatar forever and then i can scroll through posts and know who's talking because the avatar in my peripheral vision links up with that person in my brain and i can read through conversations much more smoothly. and in the same vein, when two people have avatars that look too much alike, i get really confused because people are posting things and it does not line up at all with their usual posting style and i'm like "why is person A trying to sound all like person B" and it just causes me unnecessary distress in my forum-reading.

i think i read this forum too much.

yeah i do this. also when I first started posting regularly I changed my avatar to this,

(http://www.kissmeimqueer.com/images/unicorn.jpg)

unaware that Linds had recently had almost the same exact thing (I think the background color was different?), and that confused some people.

I think I am going to stick with this one for a while, although Bad Machinery recently tempted me sorely again. I was considering making an avatar out of the last panel of this comic (http://www.scarygoround.com/?date=20110201), just the face, and changing my status to "To have tho much power feelth DITHGRATHEFUL!".

The longest one I have had was KATZEN IST KREIG, which some people have agitated for a return to, but I believe that variety is the spice of life. Changing your avatar/sig/profile to me is like changing your hairstyle or something. I enjoy the process of curating and developing my online presentation quite a bit.

But right now I can't imagine not having lovely Balthazar and Marie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060138/). I've had this avatar since July or August last year, when Au Hasard, Balthazar screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival.

There are so many things I could say about that picture.
Okay, so the art just doesn't really look very good. Looks very 1980s show promo. I guess. Shit, its overwhelming here.
The right hand looks really really awkward. Who actually holds a chain/rope like that?
All of the clothes look like an afterthought and that just upsets me on many levels.
The background has no place looking as polished as it does.
It actually makes me want to hurt myself.

I have a pretty strong visual memory so I get highly confused when people change their avatars. Mostly I don't know people's usernames and identify them by avatars. Most of the regular posters I still can't identify cause I haven't paired real name with photo with avatar.

On the matter of large animated avis, it's worth noting that on a lot of pages of this forum more bandwidth (and time) is used downloading the avis than the real content of the page (there are a couple of 2MB avis out there)!  If would be a friendly gesture if people with gifs that have not been sized down to 100x100 for avi use do that (as JD has already done).  A very straightforward free program to do this for animated gifs is here (http://www.ashongsoft.com/product/gif-resizer.html); selecting "good quality" actually makes a smaller file generally.
Title: Re: jd's avatar makes me kind of uncomfortable
Post by: The Seldom Killer on 10 Feb 2011, 01:47
Bandwidth preservation is the main reason I keep avatars turned off although I've now turned them back on to see what all the fuss is about. Drill King's is giving me epilepsy but nothing else here seems that outrageous (I haven't clicked on the link from Mr. Hodges).

Still, in the esprit d' corps, I've put up my favourite avatar, which is blatantly stolen from someone else on another forum.

Edited to add: And I'm out. Avatar overload has broken my will.

I have a pretty strong visual memory so I get highly confused when people change their avatars. Mostly I don't know people's usernames and identify them by avatars. Most of the regular posters I still can't identify cause I haven't paired real name with photo with avatar.

Whenever I go into meebo, I don't know who most people is because they don't have avatars and it confuses me. Even if I recognize the name from the forums, I don't have any clear identification unless there's a picture there.

I have had a lot of avatars, when I look at my photobucket.

So here they are! Some of them I don't really remember, but they wouldn't be there if I hadn't. (These don't include all I've brain slug'd or made for holidays.)

I don't know why I don't get a different avatar, I have no real personal connection to Cage-Spike and Cage-Buffy, its just been my avatar for a long time.

That's what that is? I always thought it was some kind of terrible Romanian soup opera.

Post by: LTK on 10 Feb 2011, 11:58
Oh, I wasn't aiming that at anyone who didn't like the avatar, just specifically at LTK. I get distracted by animated avatars too, and since I usually identify a poster by their avatar it's tricky when they change a lot.

Oh wait, I missed that post entirely.

What makes the difference to me between a split tongue and pierced ears or nose is that I consider my tongue to be a lot more sensitive and important than a flap of skin or cartilage that doesn't have as many sensory cells. So it's not so much the cosmetic appeal/disappeal as it is a question of how you could bear to cut through all that meat.

My avatar past is this Half-Life 2 Deathmatch one, pretty much. I rarely find a suitably sized picture that I like enough to bother changing it here.

See, that one just makes me laugh.

Maybe it's just the girl who weirds me out. I don't get it!

Well, some of it is about the girl! The smile, eyebrow raise, widening eyes, and second smile somehow makes it more creepy.

There are so many things I could say about that picture.
Okay, so the art just doesn't really look very good. Looks very 1980s show promo. I guess. Shit, its overwhelming here.
The right hand looks really really awkward. Who actually holds a chain/rope like that?
All of the clothes look like an afterthought and that just upsets me on many levels.
The background has no place looking as polished as it does.
It actually makes me want to hurt myself.
I'll have more later

Actually, that is a Fanart piece based off this Angels2200 Comic from 2007

Rizzo's Transmet av makes me so happy.
I use this one on last.fm and a few other forums, along with "one percent" if I get vanity text.
(http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/126/4184427.jpg)

My current is a close crop of a photo (http://www.bexgd.com/images/stories/design/places/IMG_4660.jpg) I took of the National Cathedral in DC. I usually use a crop of the man and woman that are facing each other but wasn't sure if chiseled side-boob was appropriate. Later I caught sight of a penis-av or two so I may re-crop it at some point and go with the shot I like.

The tongue avatars freak me out though. I'm not really creeped out by split tongues, but like someone else said, maybe it's because it's repetitive.

No, someone made a comment about the art of the avvie I had and I merely decided to give some information to place it in context.
