I am not a woman so maybe not the most knowledgeable there but I'm sure there are things women enjoy that aren't little chibi girls

I more don't like users being branded that way. I get it's supposed to be a punishment so being embarrassing and condescending is part of the point but I'd really rather that get achieved in some other way. Potential outward perception may be contributing bias to me but I honestly just don't like the atmosphere that creates.

Whether it’s the sagas thread or the vtuber thread this site is very happy to give in to whoever can shout the loudest about whatever the worst posters in a thread do so just laugh about it imo.

the people in charge are kind of sensitive to loving a man in the rear end talk right now, might need to shelve this idea for a bit

it's not a branding...? it's a funny joke av a friend had for a bit. it wasn't supposed to be embarrassing or condescending when they had the av. it was just a funny av. this is like being concerned over the idea of giving people larry-esque shrunk avs

Also the custom probation images only show up...In the forum, so if you're still afraid your friends in GBS might find out you post in ADTRW, it's not going to contribute to that lol.

is there something more insulting about a probation image being a tiny chibi anime character than there is about it being a picture of a cat in a prison outfit

actualyl isnt the default av for newbies literally just a baby with text saying STUPID NEWBIE how is that less weird. unless that got changed, dont think i've seen it in forever

Keeping It Together
I think any person who is going to assume the worst about the patchouli probe image is gonna treat any anime themed image the same way, so if we want a cool custom image I don't think trying to appease people who reflexively hate anything anime should be a factor.
