Experiment Would you be in favour of banning Anime Girl Avatars?

[Moth]

Probably the most controversial and polarising subject among incels.is users, Anime girl avatars used to be banned on the forum until 2023 and the reversal of this ban was not without significant pushback from certain parts of our community.

This discussion has remained at an uneasy stalemate since then, with tensions bubbling and erupting into utterly hilarious flame wars every few months.

The most recent one around February, dubbed 'The Anime Foid Avi War' has been chronicled tirelessly and meticulously by @Nithingr here:

The Anime Foid Avi War

The Anime Foid Avi War Part of the .is Foid Avi Wars Left: The @Rapistcel Front, Apr. 2025, an early skirmish quickly won by the Foid Avi Suporters, seemingly cementing their victory. Right: The 15 Page Battle, Dec, 2025, a greycel victory where @SergeantDick defeated the banned...

incels.is

Now that the dust has settled and the parties involved seemed to have calmed down, I thought it opportune to actually definitively ask the burning question and see how our userbase really feels about the debate because there surprisingly hasn't been a poll about this (hat I've seen) for ages.

Frankly, it shouldn't be banned, simply because unto itself is not a matter of importance. I would call this matter, something of taste then a real urgent issues requiring moderation envolvment.

Our matters should be concentrated on the affairs of users, happiness of users and how we can achieve knowledge acquisition of the realm.

Basically this. I don't care what avi you use, within some limits. 2D foids are kosher because they aren't real. If they were 3D women I'd raise some issues.

In honest, I get the last part of your post. In reality however, we have no time for criticism of avi's; our lives are more important the the aesthetic choice of a user.

Cute in the sense that you want to fuck them or cute in the sense that you want to BE as cute as them?

I wonder about that.

I'm not exactly in favor of banning them, but I also wouldn't care if they got banned

I wonder about that.

never ever trust a person with an anime foid as their avi.

[proudweeb]

I see no reason to change the status quo

Anime has always been a central part of incel culture


Tbh I don't see this debate ever stopping

 

[The Death Devil]

I've never spoken on this before since I thought it wasn't that important, but I really don't get the genuine visceral hatred some users have for it. I mean, I can see where they're coming from to a DEGREE, but it's literally just an anime girl? Anime isn't real life, and anime girls aren't real girls. I like having certain characters as my profile pictures because I think they have cool designs or are from a series I really like—that's literally all there is to it.

As an incel, is it really that strange that I watch anime? Obviously I'm going to find some characters cool, and I'm going to want to have them as a profile picture. This is the literal only place I have ever been on the internet where I've seen such a strong opposition to anime girl PFPs... the only other place I've ever seen it have been from hyper-masculine red-pillers who call literally everything that isn't 'build cars' and 'going to the gym' gay—and nobody even listen to them to begin with.

 

[The Death Devil]

My thoughts exactly. I'm astonished it was even banned beforehand, truthfully.

I partially regret making this thread, it never yields respectful and civil discussion on the matter.

At least we won't have Diddlium spamming hentai in this one. lol

My perspective on it is as goes, the entire issue and debate is comparable to when jews infiltrate and ruin shit or when immigrants do, these two examples have something in common being how blatantly obvious how bad they are, they are massive issues yet there are people that just dont care or downplay what you say on the topic..

So everytime I got on here (before I put all tranimes on ignore) I would see tranime fags post something weird or gay or that is simply opposite of the core beliefs of inceldom, there is countless posts and screenshots and rabbitholes that prove the tranime population here is full of gay simps that support women and jerk off to eachothers profiles (like actually they do this), so when I see all this shit and its so unbelievably obvious these niggas need to go and some retard sides with them simply for the fact they have a tranime pfp is enraging and I despise them all.

Overall I think they should all be banned, or atleast be given a timeframe to change their pfps or they will be banned

 

[XtremeMax]

no but I love my avi too much so I would never change it

 

[cirno369]

Anime girls aren't created with the sub-standards women have. Actually, there is nothing in common with 2d girls than with 3d girls. The only inspiration girls of the 2D quadrant derive from 3D quadrant is the sex.
And also, it's not like the profile image represents women worship. Far from it, actually. Most anime girl profiles I see usually represent the series. So then, they use the profile picture not as foid worship, but to represent their series. For me, Roll is Mega Man's brother. I feel she represents the series as well as Mega man and protoman does, but I chose Roll as my image to present. Would it be wrong to assume Moth chose the mothman picture to reprsent the SMT series? Maybe, I don't kniw. But regardless, when I see his PFP I think he likes SMT. When I see people with an anime girl profile from their respective series I believe they like that series. I feel that "foid worship" would be the only logical argument to be against it. You can't say things like "cringe" or whatever, because watching anime is how I cope, and I don't go criticizing how you cope. But then if that is the only argument, should we also be against people that having pictures of video game characters that are known to be normies/sex havers?

I have certainly witnessed users like Diddlium behave in an unsavoury manner but anime avi users shouldn't be viewed as a monolith, there are ones who haven't acted this way and I don't think collective punishment is fair.

I think that harsher moderation is what would fix people like Diddlium destablizing the forum, banning anime girl avis would change nothing.

This would be true if it werent for how they move, typically as a group, they all comment on eachother's profiles and are all friends atp, so if at bare minimum we just make a rule for them to not have those gay ass pfps and not ban them it would be perfectly fine, "Guys remove your pfps or we will remove and change them and if you put them back to what they were you will just get banned"

I don’t care too much, they just using some anime girl they find cute. I see no problem in that, I get to see it as well

Isn't having a Chad Avi banned here? I mean by that logic, if were to ban anyone for having an attractive male in his pfp, why not apply the same for women?

I personally don't really care that much, but it would've been funny had the anime Avi purge happened.

Chad avis are technically banned but users who had Chad avis before the ban was put in place were grandfathered in and allowed to keep their Chad avis, @Fed_911 is an example.
