Unfunny wanky stereotypes

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

why do male rpers tend to have horrible icons

(Anonymous) 2014-02-26 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
colorblindness?

(Anonymous) 2014-02-26 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
that might be part of it

but a lot of them are poorly cropped, terrible quality, etc

idk, i guess because icon comms were always a heavily female-dominated part of fandom, so the people who are really setting icon trends and arguing about icon trends are mostly female. men can care about appearance too, but it seems like women are more likely to judge each other over appearance.

still, the average player (male or female) is just going to use whatever icons they can find, or if they have a little more grapics skill they'll do a simple photoshop crop of whatever art they can find.

also, remember that the gender of other rpers is usually not immediately apparent, so if you're basing your assumption on the handful of well-known male rpers who have shitty icons, you're ignoring a lot of male rpers who have nice icons, and you're ignoring a lot of female rpers who have shitty icons.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-27 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
this makes me feel like my icons might not be too good

but i dont know how to make them look really stylish or what filters to use or whatever so i guess i'm stuck with using straight up screencap crops
