Discussion I've changed my mind on foid avis

[NeverEvenBegan]

In the poll, I voted against all foid avis.

My original reasoning was that having users with foid avis was confusing to me because you'd typically expect foids to have foid avis.

I was thinking incels should ideally have avis that reflect their current state of mind.

For example, when I was feeling particularly suicidal, I had this avi:

And this was the avi I used to have for a while after some horrible IRL encounters fucked me up mentally.

I am doing better now that I have a job again, and my current avi is supposed to reflect a bit of hope.

The main argument against having foid avis (real or 2D) seems to be foid worship.

To me, foid worship is what beta simp white knights do: they will side with the woman NO MATTER WHAT. No matter what the woman does, how much she drinks, how slutty she is dressed, how stupid her decisions are, the white knights will defend her no matter what. That's 'foid worship to me'. Not ''this woman is very hot''.

I don't think simply having a foid avi counts as 'foid worship'. A lot of users seem to think foid worship essentially means ''I like this foid a LOT and I want to fuck her real bad'' and I disagree with that definition.

For me, foid worship means siding with the woman no matter what and it is closely related to simping.

The main reason I've changed my mind on foid avis is that a lot of users have recognizable, iconic foid avis (both real and 2D). They've had the same foid avis for months, even years and it essentially becomes part of their ''style''. As long as they don't do actual foid worship (and almost none of them do), I see nothing wrong with foid avis.

I'm not sure if the poll accounted for those users to have their foid avis ''grandfathered in''.

Another argument against foid avis is that they promote ''trannymaxxing''. But I just don't believe that. Just having a foid avi isn't enough proof of trannymaxxing.

If the user in question has a history of sus posts that could be interpreted as trannymaxxing, sure, maybe then. But just having a foid avi isn't enough imo.

I don't have a problem with female avatars. It's nice to look at them while discussing depressing topics.

Agreed

I also voted against foid avis then, but I also changed my mind. It’s kind of nice to see a variety of different avis regardless of what they are. I’ve had the same avi the entire time, and I picked it because of how fucked up my mental state was when I joined this forum. I don’t feel quite so bad after venting and socializing here for a while though. Maybe in the future once I get a job and can enjoy some better copes, my mental state will improve enough to put something more pleasant as my avi, maybe a car or landscape picture.

It's a picture that represents hope for me.

I like the idea of users PFPs reflecting their current feelings or state of minds

¡Hi!

 

[Runt171]

I like the idea of users PFPs reflecting their current feelings or state of minds

Its kind of hard to find pics for it sometimes

I guess my pic reflected my mental state when I joined since I felt fucked up and like I had been beaten down by life
but Now I mainly have it Because I like the way it looks

If I could find another pic I like then I would change it

 

[NoBBCcel]

That makes sense. I recognize more users by their avi rather than their name.
