Do they? IME it's the tankies who have the waifu profiles

It's strangely both. If you're lucky, sometimes you'll see them arguing with each other.

In my experience, tankies spend a lot of time trying to convince left leaning folks not to vote for the left leaning candidate, so I'm not convinced that they're as left wing as they claim to be and either way, the right wing candidates are the ones who gain.

In my experience none is safe from the anime pic disease, not even me. If I think about stereotypical pfp for overly political people, bleached statues and sunglasses on old paintings and the right is definitely a trend.

Japan has ethnostate tendencies so fascists look to it as a positive example of how that concept works.

What about the "black and white European monarch" profile Pic? I see that a lot lol

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

There are a few which could bear to be added, lmao

Me, a Romaboo, when I see a Graeco-Roman bust as a profile pic: "Oh God it's a fascist"

everyone I know IRL with anime profile pic is autistic and had a fixation on being 'edgy' as a child, the supposedly put on character with a focus on trying to get a rise out of people went on to form the basis of their core beliefs as an adult. Its weird knowing 3 people that are like 99% identical and the only difference is the specific autistic traits vary.

Smh, LGBT top list but no bottom or verse list? So much for inclusion

What’s it say about me that I have a photo of me holding my youngest as a toddler while he’s sleeping?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Libright here (no funny flairs on Lemmy), I'd say many libright use anime pic as well, I've never seen this American eagle thing being used at all

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The anime ones are pedophile closet nazis, the ones with the eagles are weird sovcit Facebook boomers

I feel misrepresented. I just wanna afford a house without giving another to the government

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

if you didn't pay taxes then you'd be using a bunch of public utilities you didn't pay for, which sounds like socialism to me
