Personally, I don't mind uploading pics of me here but I don't really do it (unless someone asks me to) because I don't feel like it's that kind of website... It's not exactly the typical social network, it's not like facebook.
Fanpop is a website for fans to talk and share about what they're fans of. So users here will mostly upload a picture of what they're fans of to make it their profile icon.
Facebook though, is more about you and your friends and family so it's normal to post pictures of yourself there. Not many people will post a pic of their favourite band or actor on fb though.
But you can still do it. Some users have their picture as an icon and it still looks great though ;)
I don't use mine because I'm extremely paranoid about having my image on the internet. My friend has pictures of me on her Facebook and another friend has some videos. I don't use my picture any where.
I don't even use my real picture on Facebook...I look horrible in pictures so that's my main reason...and I'm paranoid about anyone seeing my picture anywhere on the Internet...
I used to use my real picture as my icon, and I mean that was a year ago. Well, people can do what the fuck ever they want, and some people are just scared to post their picture because they think they might get stalked.
posted over a year ago
that can happen with pretty young things like you. :) JK
I don't use mine because I prefer to have anonymity about myself and I prefer fandom icons plus I am extremely paranoid about getting stalked. I may have a picture of myself in the future but as of now, no.
well I wouldn't want to hurt anyones eyes xP haha I guess it's just because it's more fun to use something else as a profil picture and this isn't facebook ^^
Eh I just don't care ppl just do it to please other ppl cause they believe they look ugly but I bet they don't or because they wish they were someone else so they could make friends . That's y some girls have boy profiles and some boys have girl profiles on here. Me I have pics of myself and other stuff . So yh.
I don't use pictures of myself for 2 reasons.
1. I have no pictures of me on the computer, so I don't see the point in uploading a picture of myself.
2. I have issues with being photographed. You could say that I'm extremely camera shy, and that I don't believe I'm "photo worthy".
Instead I use icons of characters from my fandoms or icons of random things. It's a better alternative imo.
Some people don't use their pictures because they're paranoid about the people on the internet, and quite frankly I can't blame them for thinking that.
I never really used a pic of my self in any profile I've ever owned because I'm as many said they are Paranoid and I feel a bit un-comfertable of having my pic posted...
I use both real and fictional pictures of myself, but i use really partially because i'm vain.....some may say i'm very vain, but they just have no idea.^^
Because you're not here to meet people based on how they look. You're here to meet people based on their interests, and the best way to attract people with the same interests is to use what you're a fan of in your icon, especially here in the Random spot. For example, if I see someone else with another Beatles icon, I know they're a big fan and I want to meet them. I couldn't care less about how they look.
I never upload photos of me on the internet because I don't know how they can be used and on fanpop I sometimes talk about very personal issues of me and I wouldn't feel free to do it if I knew that people who know me could see my photo.That's also why I don't give my surname or the place I live.
Well, I usually use an image as an icon to represent something I like. For example, lets say that my icon is of Voltron. That means that I like Voltron. Simple as that.
