Blank / default avatars

Bob

I find it funny how they almost always symbolize a troll or a really bad sockpuppet. Even the worst of trolls should be able to pull up a random image, maybe resize it if necessary and make it into an avatar. It isn't that hard. Are these people that lazy, or do they just know they're going to get banned hilariously quickly or what?

It's because they wanted to be associated with a group and not stand out

Bob

Then why not band together and design an avatar designed for group usage?

Because Anonymous

But they already have something of the sort anyway. Wouldn't be that much effort to use it as an avatar.

Vorpy

Not really sure.

They Just Didn't Care.

For me being faceless is a choice.  I'm just too lazy to make an avatar and I generally pick one after I feel familiar with a particular forum.  That could months or even years in some cases.

or virgins.

Bob

But, don't most tropers have individual avatars, Vorpy?

Most (beat) egregiously, Mount Fire Eyes switched over to generictroper.gif when he went One Winged Angel on us all.

So, being generic is a superpower?

Bob

In a way, yes.
