This but also unironically.
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.
Except people accidentally join dumb instances. Nobody accidentally sets their pfp as a preteen anime girl. That shit is a choice.
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!
“She’s a 1,000 year old demon in the FORM of a preteen schoolgirl. It’s totally different.”
Yah but we quickly all learn to just avoid tankie communities.
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.
tbf, an arrow anywhere was bad news.
Plot twist - the one calling out your anime pfp has a furry pfp
If the topic is tech related, the furry instantly gains +1 credibility
Furry pfp means chaotic neutral. They can do whatever.
Also, they drew the pfp themselves on some drawing tablet.
I used to shake my fist at how many people had really shitty hand-drawn furry profile pics and often made the judgement that they drew furry shit just because it’s harder to draw people’s faces.
Now I instantly praise anyone who has any kind of low-quality but obviously non-AI made imagery on display to the world. I don’t care if it’s ball-point pen on lined notebook paper. You rock on with that artistic bravery king or queen.
If you witness that kind of exchange taking place, you can probably toss the entire convo out.
Although, I would lean more towards the furry pic than the anime pic, at least furries are largely autistic adults who consume a ton of information and may have more educated opinions on some topics. At least from my experience working adjacent to the tech sector.
Whereas a suspiciously large percentage of people who choose anime profile pics are just saying “this is a cartoon girl I want to bang” while also being a raging nazi online.
The trick is to not have an anime pfp and just make terrible arguments in general
Finally, something I’m qualified to do
I’d argue that’s nothing more than an ad hominem strawman.
Maybe you just need to find the right community for your profile picture? Then you are unstoppable.
I’m in this picture and I hate it
Oh, hi Achilles! How have the last dozen centuries been?
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.
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?
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:
Ha, my fist is impervious to those attacks!
Uh oh. My username is weeb. No wonder I only shitpost
It’s exactly me.
