| I use mine ^.^ I do get slightly irritated though because I like to be able to put a face with whom I am talking to. But I also try to respect that they want their privacy. Oh well. |
 |
| I do, it's an old photo but it's me, and putting anime as avatar/profile picture on an anime site would make me just one of the many, I like being different. |
| I generally don't put my face on the Internet. And when I was new all the other people on Forum Games had anime pictures, so I followed suit. Uploading a RL picture never even crossed my mind. This reminds me of the days when my avatar was of Kodaka from Haganai... ah, good times. Anyway, it's better this way - I imagine MAL users as their profile pictures and forum avatars, and the internet is a more magical place when Junko Enoshima can have a conversation with a potato. |
| obviously cuz i am bored with looking at my old mug and this isn't a dating site either so i have no reasons to also i get to put a anime pic here without people shouting WEEABO or something 2D > 3D get out of here pleb |

ErwinJA said: To answer the original question, I will provide 2 of my own: 1) How many people here actually care what I really look like? 2) Is my current picture not accurate or representative enough? indeed, the monkey has spoken the truth |

| It's your choice. Use your own photo for you avatar. Nobody curr. |
Doctors want to check me  Poke me and dissect me What do they expect? Feelings from a wind-up toy? I don't think so |
Korilakkumi said: We are the 1% of MALI have myself as my profile picture and forum avatar ;D call me a narcissist or whatever, but i'm mad cute EVERYONE WILL BOW TO OUR POSTS |
| I have really funny thoughts that no one will get to hear. |
| Mines not my profile picture but it's hidden in my profile. It's fairly old though... I have it simply because it's nice to be able to see who your communicating with. Though, I can understand why some people wouldn't bother, I mean after all this isn't a dating website is it? |
| People aren't comfortable with the idea, besides Chinese cartoon pictures look more attractive. |
| because i don't want the people of mal to gouge their eyeballs out ok maybe i do |
 hiSets Last FM Anime List Manga List Clue no. 2: Somewhere in one of the pictures in my forum signature. |
| Because I don't want people I know IRL stumbling upon this website and finding me here. Besides, I look 3 years younger than my actual age |
 "Out of the night that conquers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul."  |
| To not not judged by their look? Also I change my hairstyle so often and it's hard to update all avatars each time it happens. |
 I love mangas! |
| cause our waifus and husbandos are obviously way cooler than us |
 |
| I don't really feel comfortable knowing that every time someone goes to my profile they see my face. I did post my picture once in a thread that said to post your pics since everyone was doing it, but the link expired already. Don't think I'll openly post my pics anymore though unless it's with someone close. |
 |
| Can't get bothered to take a picture and uploading it to my computer. |
 |
| Coz I'm secretly a 14 year old who's insecure about himself and that's why he's on MAL. |
| Because I'm ugly af. I don't want people dying from cringeness over the internet, there is enough shit in the world already I wouldn't mind if others would share their fotos, tho.I know, hot grills - yes, you there (: You know, you need someone to look at when you are living like a mole in his cave all day long. Hehe xd On a serious note, role-playing is fun |

| Having a picture of myself in my profile would affect the way people see me. I also value my privacy. |
| Anime pics are cuter and less boring IMO. Why look at me when you can look at a cute picture of some anime character. MobPsycho1OO said: I also value my privacy. ^^^ That too. |
| because i'm an ugly motherfucker so i like to pretend to be a cute girl |
 |
| Insecureness...or they just want to look entertaining |

| I would leave this site if a lot of people did that. I don't need to see your 3dpd faces. I mean, it's different if you're a really kawaii Japanese girl... |
My waifu, do not steal.  |
| Personally, I'm not curious about how other people look and I assume they feel the same about me. |
| Because I don't care about what people here look like so I assume they don't give half a shit about how I look either, this ain't some dating site y'know? |
 |
| In my life i have to use every day my face, why i have to use here also? it is very tiring... |
 |
| Because our face is our curse. We don't wanna share curse. |

| enough people irl are infatuated with me, i don't need a mal fanclub on top of that |

RedCloud said: Start a show your face topic. If you dare. I have to say this sounds like a great way to kill some time on MAL. |

| there were shit ton of selfie threads on here but they'd end up as a failure every time |
| Because I don't want random fat NEETs stalking my facebook at 4 am, duh. |
| Because I don't want creeps like the op looking at me? |
 |
| This is not a social network.......... |
 |
| I'd use apic of myself if I was a cute anime girl. Alas, I'm 3D and not a cute girl. Just a girl, so no :c |
RyanEsau said: Maybe because everyone doesn't want to be public... Personally I don't believe in posting online photos, I'm finicky about sharing personal information like my last name and photos. Even if I uploaded to imgur, I'd delete it after whomever I wanted to see it, sees it a/o after x amount of time. #PrivateLife ^this. Couldn't agree more. That's one of the main reasons why I deleted my FB account a long time ago... I'm on the internet to live my life as an anime fan and probably something you'd consider as a "nerd". I'm the complete opposite IRL, not that I'm acting IRL or in the internet, it is just that I don't want everyone to know what I'm doing in the internet. Same with random people in the internet knowing everything about me IRL... |
| People love their anonymity, I guess and this being an anime site give an excuse to post pics of anime characters as their profile pictures. Well, that's just a guess on my part. Since, I can't really understand that mentality... |
| the only people that have a glimpse into my private life are the people i talk to regularly on this site and have me on snapchat lol |
| I have been wondering that myself. I got a picture of myself on my profile and i like when people do since for some reason i prefer knowing how the person I'm writing with looks like |
