Who is the person in it?

If its some really evil guy then I can understand (but would disagree with) the complaints. If its just a guy that just looks really evil then I see no problems.

Either way, I don't care.

I love it. That's not disturbing.

Now my avatar is disturbing. I actually had to point my gun into my face to take it with my digital camera Well I suppose I could have used the timer feature, but that would have been a pain in the ass to get positioned right and get the correct lighting. Needless to say, I didn't have a round in the chamber when I did this- how dumb do you think I am?

I guess I'll change it back to my Pip boy avatar.

I don't think I post enough for people to notice my avatar.

oedo's is pretty good, though quickly animated avatars can get on my nerves after a while.

below is the alternative.

I always wondered, why hardly anyone ever uses animated avatars. probably many people do have a problem with animated avatars in gerneral.

It's not offensive, but I wouldn't mind if you did something with the animation. BTW, the guy seems a little.....weird? What kind of actor is he? Anyway, just keep it, especially if you change the animation.

Unless annoying is what you're going for, in which case you hit the nail right on the head.

Makeo had the best animated avatar once he got the frame rate down to the proper setting. It's a bit of an artform to make a decent animated avatar.

Skanky has good ones as well.

Oedo:
Glad you set your avatar still. You get a better look at his eyes.
