When I switched to an anime profile picture I became ostracized at my job, and that boosted my productivity 3x due to fewer distractions. I have never felt more lonely in my life but my manager is happy with my performance so it's worth it imo
- wrkronmiller 6y agoThis is satire right?

- gorkish 6y agoSatire is dead; you were hearing from eat_veggies.
- dagav 6y agoSatire isn't dead, it's the distinction between real life and satire that's dead
- meowface 6y agoWhat kind of anime profile picture, if you don't mind saying? Is it a character who resembles you and shares your attributes, or one that's dramatically different?
- joshspankit 6y agoI’m curious about the hypothesis that’s driving that question
- meowface 6y agoI could elaborate on all the reasons why I think this, but basically I imagine that an adult male using a female child as an avatar would be more likely to incur ostracization than if they were using an adult male that mostly resembled themselves as an avatar. (I'm just assuming the poster is an adult male. Apologies if I'm wrong.)
