her impact

ngl it's kinda sad to see people using her as their dp just because of her visuals

I don't know but then I'm thinking to broadly in a way that none of us know the person who we use as dps personally and yet we do so for support and aesthetic reasoning.
I always wondered if people we use could see us and see the things we type using there images what would they think?

But on topic it's not that weird alot of people just pick pictures they like on a general basis, but it works better with anime and meme, it a little weird with celebrities and such.

Tbh at the same time, this "real fan" discussion sometimes get so silly.

Like "if you play candy crush you're not a true gamer", "If you don't read Batman comics, you can't say you're a true fan".

Like who cares about labels.

Coming from anime communities this annoys me so much.

Otakus/weebs love to use that to feel like superior human beings.

Lol I'm not gonna lie but if the only thing someone has ever played is candy crush, discussing the history of games with them isn't going to go well.
Especially from a console or PC point cause that what I know and have know for 28 years of gaming lol
Oddly I have had this conversation with women the most, I'd say I like gaming, they come with oh me too and starts discussing mobile games which is fine (I play them to) but then I can't share anything console or pc related cause they it's 'I never played that or that seems boring' makes the convo fall short Irl of course, I meet alot of women I don't click with hobbies wise.. I will never have lady friends TT lol... But Online you can fake it well and yeah elitist bullshit is the worst.

I run whenever I see anyone use these pics for their dp ;-;
it happens wayyy too often with doyeon especially I think

These pics could be good catfish pics to be honest, that could also be a motive.

Yeah, of course they are very different types of game, but still some people take that as such a grave crime lol

Theoretically someone can listen to weird stuff and say that is a fan of music.

The terms we use for everything don't help a lot.

We go around with hardcore gamer, casual gamer, fan, normie, classical art, pop art.

There's some hierarchy going on there.

nowadays I use only people I stan or love as dp or sig.

I do remember when I was active on amino that a bunch of people and I used ulzzang pictures as dps and random pictures for our bios

 

[Tickita]

I would say it's fine, but if one doesn't want to be used as a dp, people should respect their wishes.

 

[Villains]

I find it weird because they don't even know that person

I mostly use bangchan as my dp sooo
