At least they're being honest. That being said, the reasoning that goes into any dude's choice to have an anime girl as his profile picture online, is surprisingly strategic, or wholesome, or something else entirely.

    Text - Zetalnk 18h My cousin's logic was that because the enemy is distracted by the anime tiddy, they hesitate before shooting you in the head My cousin was better than me at Counter Strike, so I did not voice my many questions of this bit of lobby-queue wisdom.

    Text - silverhydra 19h Out of all things that interest me, putting my actual face on gaming websites in my thumbnail has not been one of them. Seriously, what does exposing my real identity during online gaming achieve? I have to choose something else as a substitute though, so why not just the thing I've kept since high school? Some people only know me as the "weeb" in their list so let's keep it simple for them I guess I could choose, like, a dog or something but that is either equally meaning

    Text - FauxMathematician 19h Because anime girls are cute. My reasoning is that if I'm going to look at something for a long time, it may as well be something l enjoy looking at. This is what I usually say in the r/Tekken subreddit to explain why I mostly only play girls. It's not about wanting to be a girl, it's about enjoying looking at cute girls. For profile pictures in particular, it's also because like the particular picture I may be using. That is, I think it's a good drawing/painting, an

    Text - LuinSen2 .19h I used to use a kids cartoon character in my online poker (no money, just fun mini tournaments) profile. I selected it purely so that the other players would underestimate my gameplay and fall easier to my traps. Worked really well.

    Text - TotoroFurry 18h All my accounts on my computer were formally my girlfriend's account until we moved in together and we started college. I just have never changed it because she was an artist and the drawing looked like her so I just haven't changed it. Btw we have been married for like 6.5 years and have 1 kid and another coming in 3 months.

    Text - OnlyLikesKancolle 19h like cute shit and I'm a weeb, so put both of them together and I do shit like this. I would never use an anime profile pic on social media that people I know in real life would People online like to put profile pics that relate to stuff they like. Some of use use anime profile pictures because we like anime or a certain character. I would say it is similar to someone who uses their favorite sports team/player as a profile picture For example, I used to be a big Halo

    Text - DOC233XD 18h Long answer: One of life's simple pleasures is either having someone pat your head or patting the head of someone else. I discovered my love for this through anime hence why my profile picture on Twitter is an anime girl receiving a head pat. Short answer: IDK it makes me happy and isn't that what really matters?
