I don't have an avatar, signature, or anything.

I want people to read my statements, not focus on stuff other people made.

Not judging people with avatars, signatures, GIFs, etc; if you like them, good for you, keep on using 'em.

They're just not something I want to do.

Doesn't it work both ways? The fact that you don't have an avatar makes some people focus more on the fact that you don't have an avatar rather than your statements.

Yeah, I guess I was thinking of that myself, whenever I see someone without an avy, I'm thinking that they should get an avy
