I've always wondered why someone would choose to portray themselves in such a way. Are you/they evil and creepy on the inside? Do you/they like to creep out others for amusement? What is the message you/they are trying to send?

It doesn't take long after coming on here to realize that there are lots of folks who spend a lot of time just coming on here to intimidate and harass. It's just part of their arsenal. Looking threatening. God bless!!

Creepy is in the eye of the beholder.
The choice of an avatar is not necessarily a message being sent.
You may be reading too much into this.

Well. my avatar looks almost exactly like me, so if you think it's "evil-looking", too freakin bad! As for my name (I could actually see someone asking this about that one), you don't always have to stick negative connotations on someone just because you wouldn't have picked the name they did; that's why it's their choice, not yours. (Actually, I chose the name I did because I enjoy making costumes and werewolves happen to be some of my favourite subject matter for costumes.) It's better to seem a little scary than make yourself look vulnerable and have people walking all over you.

It depends, what you find creepy youngling.
Some, peoples Avatars reflect people, in a certain light.

It's just a screen name, mine and my avatar rep how I feel today. I used to have an evil cartoon thingy but don't feel like that today.

I don't think there's any mentality behind it, just someone expressing themselves. Not everyone is sweetness and light.

They think is funny and it gets people's attention. What do you think of my name? Too negative?

Most people that do that are just as normal as anyone else, they just think it's funny. It's the ones like you that I worry about....pretending to be sweet and innocent....."Why would anyone do that kinda thing?" You are the creep lady!
