Because they like them. I was more involved in consuming anime when I was younger and it was just based on characters you liked for whatever reason. Some people go to more extremes than others but that's the same for any hobby.
The same reason sexy actresses lose relevancy after 25. The same reason porn is majorly "barely legal". Societal preference for young, innocent, untouched girls rather than competent, experienced women. Look at the male characters and they're about the same, clean cut teens with maybe an exaggerated shoulder width and jawline.
And also because anime is a caricature of human form based on, presumably, a race different than yours.
While we're at it, as far as mainstream Japanese society is concerned, those super-cute women wearing schoolgirl uniforms and tiny backpacks are actually bucking the male gaze by being too immature, apparently. It's not a sex thing, it's anti sex. Can't control the international gawkers though
There's a big fucking difference between a 25 year old actress and a drawing of a girl with a 12 year old face and EE size tits in a sexual suggestive position.
It's not a sex thing, it's anti sex
Again, the EE size tits, wet T-shirt, and suggestive position disagrees.
Same reason you put a penguin in yours.
They wanted to.
I'm scandalized. It's naked!
I bet his penguin is from "A Place Further than the Universe"
Nope, it's Linux's mascot.
That's exactly what a weeb masquerading as a Linux nerd would say!
Just wanted to say, the penguins in your profile are so cute!
yeah 😂
Same reason people put movie characters, game characters or dragons in there. Because they like them, one way or the other.
Men have been using sexy bikini pic women in the bios long before lemmy. Look at any hobby forum like bodybuilding, car repair, guns, whatever.
The bikini avatars on bodybuilding forums was always very weird to me.
It's to remind them what they are bodybuilding for. To fight the bikinigirl empire. Join the resistance, fight the oppressors!
Ha! You had me in the first half.
Because they like it?
I suspect if you ask them who their bio pic is, you will get a very long explanation of who they are and why they like them.

People tend to make their bio pic something they would like to fuck. Nice bio pic btw.
My pic is myself, so... I have no further argument and forget I said anything.
ooh im going to use your pick. jk. maybe.
Would
Y'all have pfp?
Idk, but it's even weirder when they put a giant one on the sides and hood of their car.
Talking about itashas?
Why do you have Tux? It's the same reason. People like what they like, and as long as the PFP isn't explicit, let it ride.
To make it obvious.
I seen people have anime girl pfps/banners but in their bio?
Because why not?
Found the pedo
