Oh I thought the characters symbolized stuff. My avatar is me as a drag queen.
Well, some might. I saw someone with a Ranma 1/2 avatar which is about a guy who gets turned into a girl every time he gets dunked with cold water - hot water turns him back into a by. Also, cold water turns his dad into a giant panda.
I had a female character from a girly anime as mine for a while because I was a little obsessed with the show, but I'm over it now. Instead I just have Bender Bending Rodriguez.
I don't want people recognizing me from real life so I keep my avatars impersonal.
Who wants a boring ol' picture of you when you can have a cartoon avatar?
I frequently use forums, and few people use anything besides cartoons or artistic photos of nature.
Drag queens are cartoon characters.
I've used images from Anime's or Manga's in the past. Right now I'm using a ball jointed doll from ... Japan (where else).
Depending on my mood I'll use other things but for some reason I just like the entertainment from countries outside of the USA more then anything else. I currently have about 6 Manga's I'm reading and I watch at least one Anime weekly.
Other then using something from a Manga or Anime a normal everyday avatar for me would end up being a female blood elf from the game World of Warcraft.
It just depends on what you consider to be entertaining I guess.

Is that the Fluttershy stare that I see in your avatar?
We should all be very afraid.
i've personally chose to be represented by an anime character rather than put a photo because I am not ready to be open enough to post photos of me yet. that's another big step for me and i'm not at that stage just yet. instead i've chosen a character from my fave anime (gravitation) who i think is similar to me in looks and personality.
I guess it's what I do for comfort, I hide behind personas and characters for safety... :-\
Had my own photo up initially for quite some time.
Post-op I decided against it. Got some SMBD emails (pre-op) from folk that though me a 'discerning' individual for THEIR male fantasies.
I didn't quite like that (flattered though :-), BTW, this also happened to other MtFs.
My pic is ~ me when young, --- um. :-)

I would never touch cold water again if I were like Ranma, lucky bastard. :laugh:
