Topic: When you see someone with the same avatar as you..........

Posted under General

Oh it's simple, I destroy them and their precious avatar. Same as when someone is wearing the same dress.

Updated by anonymous

generally I politely question them why. in most places around the internet, I use avatars I've made, so seeing someone with the same avatar is... hm... suspicious.

Updated by anonymous

It's upsetting, usually I say "Oh, no, you copycat" to myself, then change it hoping it still resembles my previous look I've held for MONTHS.
I don't rant blindly to that person on the Internet, that's just a lame excuse for an argument.

I changed mine to what it is now because I saw someone with the same lucario pic as there avatar. :/

I just change it... Always nice to change things up every once in a while.

I call them a copycat...especially if it's an avatar of a piece of artwork created for me, which it usually is.

An avatar is not exactly what you make, is what represents you, is... is... IS A HONOR!! AN AVATAR IS A PRIVILEGE!! AVATARS MUST BE FREE!! One does not simply choose an avatar, AVATARS CHOOSE THEIR OWNER!! *manly tears*

"We declare their right on this earth
to be an avatar, to be a representation,
to respected like a representation,
to be given the rights of a representation,
in this society on this earth in this day,
which we intend to bring into existence,
by any means necessary!"
