Whoa whoa whoa! If Bruce Jenner wished to become a strong beautiful independent woman for the sake of not getting arrested for manslaughter, we have to play along.

This is 2k16. Get on with it or be offended.

Seriously IDC, I believe in facts and truth, IDC what you feel how you identify yourself. If you're a man/woman I'm going to call you that.

I hate it when people use feelings as an argument.

I pick things I want to look at when I post. It's all about me, I'm extremely selfish.

I usually pick black and white avi's because I've always liked the dark&light/yin&yang thing. And even though I am a rockstar the avatars i pick of others are for inspiration, a lot are role models or people with artistic philosophies I agree with. I also usually pick realistic avatars because it's the opposite of what users usually have on a anime forum.

Ironically I have an animated avatar now, but that's a rarity for me.

What do you gain or contribute to the world from refusing from to use preferred pronouns?

My avatar is simply my ideal self. My true self is in my signature :blush:
D'aww so cute

Lame, bad, insensitive, exclusionary, no one was even talking about this, weird that you needed to stroke your own ego by making fun of trans people

Great avatars and imaginations. The reasons people give are thoughtful. One lady picks avatars that match her complexion. I like that... hero versions of yourself.

I like that because I don't want you to love your avatar more than you love yourself.

How many would choose to be their avatar if given the chance? How many can give strong reasons for remaining as they are?

You mean be Truth? :flowers: I would be all knowing and get to cruelly punish ppl that attempt to tresspass into the realm of god.

Take a woman who wants to create a baby's insides.
Take the body, arm, and leg of two boys that want to bring back their mother.
End an entire ancient civilization
And take some visionary's sight

It all sounds extremely fun tbh, but nah. I am rather content with who I am :bdpf:

Did Literally no-one got what OP was talking about? Or is it really about images below our names and not the personas people create and wear not knowing who they really are?

I was looking for the word "content." People often say they're happy but content is more stable, more humble, more appreciative.

Because you can always be more happy (too many have blind ambition but no rest). And someone can always point out a reason why you should be sad (joy-jackers).

But if you can say "I am content with who I am" then you have reached a rock. A man or woman who is content is unmovable.

I think the world has some moving to do of its own though too. If there was more compassion.... then people could be content with who they are and not slip off into their avatars.

Well you know what they say... "it is not given to everyone to understand what it's really all about... so that's why we use parables"

I think if "YOU ARE NOT YOU'RE AVATAR" sinks in and registers with people then that alone will help
