What if you have a photo of yourself and you just happen to be a T-Red with arm-extensions that help you reach the keyboard XD

Then that is the ONLY exception, and you want you be my best friend. o3o

I want me? Or you want the t-rex XD

arrrgh, typos, i want T-rex best friend plz. :3

-gives T-rex- :3

People use photos for icons on FA? I don't see it that often

not just that, other social stuff.

At least on Facebook, Ive always found it goofy when people use stuff that is not a photo of themselves. You are not a t-rex, knock that off :V

Although messengers and skype I'm more used of seeing icons and images over photos.

For me it depends, for most part I agree as a drawing almost per definition contains more symbolism and thus you'd be able to tell more about what the person relates to or tries to show you, but if a person is at least a bit capable at taking care of their appearance, you should also be able to see what kind of person someone is looking at a picture of them as well.
Though I agree, drawings contain more about someone's inside of their head, whereas photos contain more about someone's outside appearance o:

In either case it's a personal interpretation of what someone shows you though, careful not to judge someone based on their walking-vagina ponification of a hermaphrodite sergal-jelly-fetish embodiment in avatar form or something alike, I mean sure it's not very socially appropriate perhaps, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're fucked up in the head, just that they're not very good at social communication :P I see that happen a lot in the fandom. (Although I suppose it's good that people are shown it's not really socially accepted to flaunt fetishes like that for this reason)

o.o

wat.

Im talking about social media in general.
xD

I just use what you made me :I

I just use icons made for me. I don't think pictures from the internet are really "cool" lol
I mean unless it's something like pokemon ._. but at the same time draw it yourself >:I

I have seen pictures of famous people used as icons >:I very lame and stupid.

It just annoys me alot when its of them selves.

If they even use a picture of a celebrity, at least i know what they're like.
You can look like anything but still be an ass, if you have a picture of flowers, chances are you're probably not going to be a jerk.

lol yeah i agree
