Julie Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Where you're in a fight or dislike someone from coldplaying or any other forum and the person or thing in their avi you all of a sudden hate too. For example I used to hate someone who had a Chris martin avi, and after that I started to kinda hate Chris Martin too :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have a definite problem with avatar association, I always imagine the people posting looking like their avatars (if their avatar is a person) or their avatar being a massive visual metaphor for their personality.

Yellow Hill Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 or their avatar being a massive visual metaphor for their personality. That's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Yeah i often think the poster is who ever is in their avi, which I'm sure someone out there hates Lily Allen just because of me :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 That doesn't even make sense, if I specifically chose a picture to annoy you and people like you, how is any of that Freudian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 may be... but i don't hate someone for their avi... that's so extreme term to use. i remember that most us happened to think that justin is a blond guy because his avis are of blond people...

mc_squared Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 That doesn't even make sense, if I specifically chose a picture to annoy you and people like you, how is any of that Freudian? In the sense that it almost certainly says a lot about the real you, even if it's been done for effect (which I'm still not convinced about anyway).:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I wasn't saying you hate them because of thier avi, I was saying that you already don't like them and it makes you hate the person/thing in their avi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Perrine* Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have a definite problem with avatar association, I always imagine the people posting looking like their avatars (if their avatar is a person) or their avatar being a massive visual metaphor for their personality. :stunned: That always happens to me ! I know it's stupid but I can't help myself :\ I actually don't imagine them looking exactly like their avatars but just a little :P Julie I understand you can associate the avi with the person, that sucks a bit but the only solution is that people you dislike have an avi you already dislike ! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surpraised Ian has not banned politics and religion on this place... There is some real wars down there.

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 The hating people thing never happens to me, but I do sometimes associate people with their avatars. For example, I've met Justin in real life twice now, yet I automatically picture him in my head as Hey Arnold first :lol:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
