The reality is people with REAL pictures don’t turn out to be what you thought as well. I’ve met enough girls to know it. Anime is just an excuse to justify your disappointment. Let’s call bullsh*t when we see it. Why defend anime profile pictures?
Just because of your anime picture (or a furry one I'm my case) your opinion matters just as much as anyone elses. You do you honey. , I am 87 years old. I disagree. I am guided only by what the person writes. That could be true.
Why are people on the internet so negative towards anime and people who like it?” Prejudice is when you have a preconceived notion about someone or something. In the case of anime – it’s as if people have it ingrained in their DNA to hate people who like anime, or have profile pictures of them.
I think people assume the person may be damaged and seeing things ““wrong “ due to their own issues. I think that that's not something that can be quantified. It's probably true that some people value you're opinion less for your profile picture but I don't see why it matters.
Just because you have an anime picture on your profile, doesn't make you stupid or your opinion doesn't matter. Every opinion matters, whether you have an anime or video game character as your profile picture.
There are two main reasons why, either because they love the character they put as their profile picture, in other words, it's their waifu or husbando, or because the anime character they chose as their profile picture matches with their personality, or matching with a personality they wish they have.
Tldr: there is no significant correlation between having an anime profile and amount of GitHub activity.
His profile picture consists of a character called Chihiro Ogino from the 2001 movie "Spirited Away".
