Alright, now I'm curious, what's your take on my avatar?
Comment has been collapsed.
Aw :( You know, people were a lot better at recognizing it when I first started using it. But that was more than 10 years ago, so I guess that's not all that strange ;)

I know that feeling :P The avatar is actually from something from the 80's, from before I was born, but due to a friends parents, I got exposed to 80's geek culture at an early age, and when I picked my screen name (from a book not really suitable for children...), I thought the avatar was fitting (related somewhat in theme, but not at all in origin). Exactly what it is I won't say just yet.

Mine is for sure : "supposed to be "badass" but look childish and dumb"

Thats ok, it looks like everyone wants your opinion.
Not me though.
On an unrelated note, what do you think of my avatar?
Comment has been collapsed.
I can agree with that.
Also various memes. A book shouldn't be judged by its cover, but how seriously can you take a person with an avatar referencing some lame internet meme...
Personally, I've never watched or read animes/mangas, but I don't mind anime avatars.

Somehow a Twitter user with a master’s degree in engineering and years of experience in the field becomes less important than some random 16-year-old kid from Tumblr merely for having a Maki Nishikino avatar. Could you believe it?
Yeah, sounds exactly like science.

Except when they defecate everywhere and bite your sensitive bits.

I'm guessing they asked some specialist to write about something first using some normal avatar, then start saying exactly the same with anime avatar.
And in one case people were "hmm, sounds plausible" and "lol, moron" in second thread :P

I felt insulted.
Usually people classify anime as children cartoon, with the only difference is that is made in Japan. But we don't know how the study was made since it wasn't released the research yet. I also would like to know if they compared their result with other types of avatar(animals, slut women, paintings, regular people faces, "?", etc.).
But I'm not the best e.g. because I'm pretty stupid most of time xD

From Fate/Zero yes it is.
I also like yours from Steins;Gate ;)

It sounds like anime vs normal avatars battle. Would be fun to compare to other kind of avatars.
Now I wonder, does my comic-book-cover avatar is making me "stupider :P" than you and your anime?

That's where I go to school! Well, I don't belong to the school of social media sciences [which probably doesn't exist, but who knows; we have a center for the greater good], but still. This study sounds... dubious, I wonder how it was conducted. And even if this was true, it just claims bias/cognitive bias still happens, which is already pretty obvious.

I am 90% sure that after I get done with this dab I will be 100% more better

I'd like to see the actual study. I like how they didn't link it at all. Honestly this article seems like it's from The Onion.
Comment has been collapsed.
How interesting.....
just type "Dr. Rebecca Fordham" or "Dr. Pervesh Murfaz" in google, no information about them......
can this study be trusted?
(p/s: am I saying something irrelevant?)

I'm pretty sure this is just a satirical article - there's no actual study done.
Comment has been collapsed.
Pretty sure you are right, no source to the study itself, and i can't find the authors neither, since it's from august 2014 it would seem strange that there is only one anime site referencing it.
I did found a Vice President and President Anime Club by the name of Rebecca Fordham thought.

+1 look at the sidebar:
Netflix Developing ‘Left Shark’ Anime Series
Japan Falling Behind in Education Because Students are Idols, Superheroes, etc.
Live Action Yuri Kuma Video Goes Horribly Wrong

Well as I see the main issue here is that their opinions are invalidated by nothing else than the other people's prejudice. So they're not trying to say that people with anime avatars are more stupid (that would be quite unscientific) but that they are taken less seriously for no logical reason.
Still, my experience with 'social networking sites' in general is that they are undoubtedly still a subset of the Internet(z), where the majority of people still (sadly) are or act like immature kids and would probably be prone to any excuse they can get when attempting to win an argument against another person, including making fun of their avatars.
People with common sense (I hope) would still treat others with equal respect and keep their behaviour rational.

lmfao the guys who conducted the research/study forgot about a lot of stuff in their study and generalized on female character avatars that are less than 12yo in the anime :D funny people,and I'd rather listen to someone with anime avatar rather to someone with weed or some other shit like that on his profile,lmao

I love how butthurt people are getting over this. xD
'omg people automatically assume I'm childish because I have an image that, to the general public, looks like a children's show'. Most people don't even know what anime is. If it looks like a cartoon and quacks like a cartoon, people are going to think the same of your cute little anime girl as they would if you have an image of princess barbie.
(I know it's fake, but still funny. xD)

My first reaction was "this sounds like something taken out of context or someone reporting an internet rumor as news", and started to look for the actual report. Then I looked at the list of other articles to the right of the article.
Still glad I don't have an Anime avatar.

Fact: 90% of the Steamgifts community is stupid (but OP and a few others that got it), this thread is my source.
