Brother it's a picture. I'm not giving the internet my real face. I'm not uploading a picture of my lifted truck nor my hellcat. Some of yall are just haters projecting. It ain't that deep.
The topic is about the perceptions of others, it's not deep to you but someone else might read into, particularly if you find yourself having a serious (deep) conversation and don't want to be judged unfairly. If you don't care about your self-presentation or how to manage the impressions others have of you, then great, no need to even comment here.
If you do care, and yes you do, then think about it from someone else's perspective.
This "the curtains were just blue" or the "just put the X in the bag" anti-thinking mentality is eroding our whole world. Try to avoid doing that.
Yes I fully understand some people have genuine mental health issues and believe a profile picture being rooted in a form of media someone else personally enjoys somehow invalidates their opinion. The people who truly hold this perception, themselves, often don't understand or hate from the outside.
Those who don't understand something will often degrade or disregard it in an attempt to maintain credibility with others who share the same warped views. This is tribalism mixed with counter culture.
There is no foundation for a good faith discussion. To what end would telling an idiot they're an idiot grant either of us?
Yeah, I'm actually surprised to see so many people agreeing with this bullshit on Lemmy.
