Avatars are mostly chosen and customized to what a person aspires to look like...some use them to display moods...in most chat clients, avatars are a complete opposit of what the person actually resembles

because America has this thing with looking and being someone else. my friend roleplays all the time and all her characters look skinny and pretty. shes very pretty even though she doesnt think so but she is a little heavy. she likes to pretend she is someone else all the time because shes not happy with who she is. It really bugs me but its just how most of America is.

Our avatars are what we would really want to be like(young and slim)
