Hot take: it’s totally fair to judge someone based on their avatar as that’s literary what it is, a pictorial summary of what you’re all about.

rarely

You're judging them based off of what is ostensibly a first impression they have chosen for themselves. I can't imagine a scenario where that's not fair. And you don't need to form an entire opinion, but the opinion starts there. If their picture was a sports team I didn't like, some furry shit, or even MAGA, I'd form some opinions out of the gate.

I do the same. I don't have the time or patience to listen to every person on the internet to understand where they're truly coming from. What I meant is if I did I would probably find out that more often than not my initial assumptions were too harsh or otherwise inaccurate.

That hasn't been my experience. My experience is that my first impressions are woefully incomplete, but rarely wrong.

You aren't reading the wrong book, you're just only getting the prelude chapter.

Counterpoint: sometimes it's just a funny picture I like, and sometimes it's some anime titties I like. Assuming it's always going to be a meaningful representation of the user is unrealistic.

In my mind, some edgy-looking anime dude is very different from anime booba.

While both remove validity of argumentation, the former probably means you're a minor, and the ladder means you will never have a social life outside the internet.

Why?

You don't want a ladder unless you are cleaning the gutters

A lot of people don't treat it as such though, and thus it becomes odd to assume so. But some things are just downright questionable, obviously.
