Smeags said: Users have every right to choose an avatar that suits them as long as it fits the VGC requirements, I'm definitely not here to argue that. All I'll say is that gamrConnect is one of the few regular sites I visit where I think twice about browsing whenever I'm in a public area (such as in my school library or a bookstore). I understand what this site is and how people's avatars play out in the scheme of things (aka it's really not that big of a deal), but others who see these avatars out of context don't have that luxury... and it can lead to some awkward moments. |
Last year, during a mafia game, I left my computer open at work. unattended, my boss gazed at my screen and thought I was looking at gay porn because the page that was open showed Truckosaurs' shirtless male avatar wearing a Santa hat.
On campus, I'm too afraid to browse the forums because of all the half naked ladies in sigs and avatars ... I don't want my friends to think I"m a creep.
In short, I feel ya. For the last 3 months or so, I only browse VGC from home.

Whenever I'm out in the Living Room looking at my Macbook I always get that feeling too. xD When someone walks behind me I always push everything away (with the multi-touch thing.) so no one can see it. And it also always happens to be on Seece or Truck's avatar's.
PERFECT!
