Why did you pick your profile pic?

i chose this portrait of Ira Aldridge as Othello, hes the first black actor to play othello on a large stage (before it was done by white men in blackface/ brownface) i think hes cool, he was an abolitionist, and its a nice picture. this was my second choice also Ira Adridge

and my third also a depiction of Ira aldridge as Othello, but i figured it would be too cringe to have a statue as a profile pic

Mine is my puppy staring at something in my hand.

It picked me

i didn't because i don't know how

Death to America

it fit my username and was also pretty funny i think

Mine is the FALGSC icon, would love to have it as a patch for a jacket.

Mood

He's just a big #2 and very funny visually.

I'll probably change it to Nikki Hailey if she ever manages to get ahead.

I thought it was a good picture of me.

Mine is the Hydroxyl free radical, which is when a Hydroxyl group is missing an election so it only has 7 valence elections instead of 8. I thought "free radical" sounded more like a political term rather than a chemistry term so I thought it would be funny to make my username a reference to it

Uuuuh

Screamy birb funni

I tried to get DALL-E to make Soviet Knuckles from the meme, but one of the pictures it generated was Knuckles with Lenin's face so I went with that

It’s the novel I got my name from.

I am the guy from the “succulent chinese meal” video. It’s me in the picture. Still in Australian jail. AMA.

username

was supposed to be temporary until i found a good picture of welles in the third man but i never did

Goes with my username.

irony poisoning

Google Image Search "Bobson Dugnutt"

I love cats, music, and communism and my pic has all three

I saw a poster and i was very gay for her

I think it's very self-explanatory

picture of me

Cowardly Gowron makes me laugh.

i picked this name like on the site's first few days based on the image it's attached to

i want to assassinate the royal family of spain.

Because I'm actually Joe Biden.

Permanently Deleted

I like the moomin

Permanently Deleted

let the toei animation cook for like two more months and it'll be clear. it's jimbei with the hawaiian shirt drip

i just thought it was hilarious

I was playing around with stable diffusion for like a day and tried to generate a surveillance cam overgrown with moss. It just wouldn't do it, and I ended up with a bunch of pictures of trees overgrown with moss that have cams on them. The surveillance-machine-fed machine can't imagine the surveillance machine being overgrown but it can readily imagine the surveillance machine growing on the overgrowth. I found it poetic how radically limited the creativity of the new, supposedly radical creativity machine turned out to be. Still looked kinda cool, so I rolled with it and now I'm used to it.

Profile pictures are bourgeois.

Yoko's story in TTGL is possibly the most tragic. She

Very spoilery gurren lagann stuff you shouldn't click here if you intend to watch it.

falls for the revolutionary leader, who dies in the process of the revolution he started, abandons politics post-revolution to hide herself away in a remote part of the world as a teacher of children with the intention of never subjecting herself to the pain of any form of relationship again, only to get dragged back into ANOTHER revolution when it's clear that the first revolution didn't fully liberate them, where she promptly falls for another revolutionary who she knew from the first revolution, who promptly dies as well. She throughout all of these events entirely sacrifices herself for the cause, sucking it up and stuffing those feelings down because she believes in the cause more than her personal feelings, even while other people around her aren't controlling their emotions anywhere near as well, she knows someone has to.

Also she's a rad chick with a huge gun that believes in her gun solving the problems.

.

She's a role model. She's a reminder that these things are not without sacrifice.

This particular gif is from the end of this music video and I just like the feeling of sweeping into a thread, dunking and being like "CIAO" sunglasses/hand wave and the framing of it is absolutely perfect for a profile pic crop with the head/hand lining up.

Also TTGL is blatantly marxist agitprop and you can't convince me otherwise. Classic Trigger/Gainax.

I like the steam deadpan pig emote

testament guilty gear but brazil

I'm A Lesbiab

It's an old Soviet poster and my favorite album cover

foucault-shining

I wanted something Florida-themed. Plus gators are cool.

I used the image for a copypasta post cause it looked like a weird picture of a dude who would say said copypasta. It used to be Cataradi, an alien that likes to laugh and sing and was part of your first grade curriculum in the 90s if you were Canadian and did French immersion.

I have frog in my name and I want to abolish private property

I'm still with her

Stole this from somewhere on social media because it is just the most glorious round bird with a big attitude that I very much identified with. The meme hands that were added on it are the icing on the cake.

Man eats two hot dog at once is funny.

It's my foot touching a fault line. It's very on brand.

It's from the Year Hare Affair (那年那兔那些事儿) a Chinese animation. It's from the WeChat official sticker set and it's of the PRC stand-in animal the rabbit smacking the USA stand-in animal, the eagle. I'm a sinoboo, I use the sticker all the time and I think it's funny.

I dunno I just related to the character

Seeing how happy Rachel Bighead was in the Rocko's Modern Life reboot was one of the last things to crack my eggshell and help me realize I'm a woman.

I'm pagan

It is a character from an old cartoon show I used to watch. It is called 相聚一刻。She is a fun character, very bold, and in this picture have a attitude I like. Character name is 六本木朱美。

I wanted "funny/iconic Simpsons faces with more than one person but without too much unnecessary space between them," which was a lot harder than it looks.

Finding funny Simpsons faces is really easy:

Finding multiple funny/iconic faces is also pretty easy, but I find that they're too small:

The actual profile pic is just Bart and Lisa jumping on the trampoline in the background while Homer goes on and on about his harebrained scheme to open a shitty theme park.

I periodically draw my own, but it would also be an opsec violation to have it here, so I have nothing.

I like the design of the cat lady in that episode

i really like pump chili

Mine is a gigantic Garfield holding a hammer and a sickle leading the Revolution. I took it from Chapo's subreddit during it's last days before it was closed down, as a way to remember the most based leftwing shitposting club ever.

good movie and it's a funny expression

Jokerfication jokes + my love of Snufkin + my awareness of the shitty paint-over job and that said paint-over being shitty makes it funnier

uh, my profile pic. yeah, super deep story on that one. What, you don't see it? Totally not because I don't have one.

I'm probably going to put a picture of Oscar François de Jarjayes as my profile picture at some point.

I like the game

It's a self portrait

years ago I was in a music group on a website and someone posted happy king crimson. funniest shit I ever seen. saved it and kept it around, occasionally gazing upon it in my times of need (for giggles). when it was time to upload a pic here I figured it'd look good in a circle. it does.

to whoever originally created this image, wherever you may be, thank you.

and thank you for asking OP. good post.

I like Beholders

παλίντροπος

Cause I like Voroshilov. I've been meaning to change it but cant think of a good one

We have to remembefr. What really matters

I liked shin godzilla plus i realised my account name could be seen as reference to godzilla

I take two things very seriously: hunting vampires and buying blenders at the 99 pence store.

Mine is a dog with swimming goggles on. It made me chuckle when i saw it.

Bush with da lean

Saw it as a meme on r/traa back when I browsed reddit-logo and saved it to my phone. Years later, decided to spice up my Hexbear profile, stumbled back on the picture, and decided to roll with it.

I took the hexbear logo and put some surprised eyes and mouth on it because I thought it would be funny. Then when The Flood happened I wanted one of those bad ass headbands so I put one on my surprised hexbear PFP.

Its a nice pic of my cat when he was a kitty and bring me good memories of the time I lived on a favella on Rio

Thumbs up cat gives off a sense of either casual approval or detached acknowledgment. Very versatile.

Kelly comic = win

My border is my intense and ever-present desire to shitpost

Whirl from Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye/Lost Light. Twice voted "Autobot most likely to defect."

I like that comic. It's about a bunch of sad, gay robots in space.

I simply did not big-cool

I’m very indecisive

From "Skeleton performing zazen" by Maruyama Okyo, I had a better source for it but I can't find it now. I just like the happy skeleton :> and it feels true to my self-image

I had to choose a new profile pic after I briefly changed my spinning hammer and sickle to something else, and then couldn't change back to it due to a change in a newer version of Lemmy that prevented my spinning hammer and sickle from being uploaded successfully to Hexbear's backend. angery I then decided that the evil grin face was an acceptable replacement.

My what?

When I first created my account I used this image (which I based my username on):

image

It was one of the funniest and most relatable reaction images I’d seen (much better than wojaks).

current pfp because I like kitys and lifting

It was supposed to be a gif and then I didn't bother fixing it

It’s my fursona. Nothing else beyond that.

I thought "Dragon Ball Zinn" was cute since A People's History of The United States was a gateway for me into leftism. It's a 'safe' book where libs aren't going to chastise you for reading it, and I like anime.

The PFP is just my favorite reaction image from all of the Dragon Ball manga.

Xenia first designed by Alan Mackey in 1996, was meant to be an alternative to Tux (who was also created by another artist outside the Linux foundation).

It was popularized again in 2019 in Twitter (not yet to be renamed to X dot com) where Xenia had her transition into the iconic transfem Linux/Free software enthusiast.

I like Xenia because she's my lucky charm against a lot of libertarian/ancap/capitalist chuds in the software/hacking space. Also trans.
