On Lemmy I feel like we do the same except for instances. Some person signs up with an instance oblivious to its politics but will get judged based on it.

Of course someone on .world would say that. /j
But also blocking .ml instances by default is a great way to reduce your exposure to stupid ass takes and arguments. /not a joke

Except people accidentally join dumb instances. Nobody accidentally sets their pfp as a preteen anime girl. That shit is a choice.
Ummmmm actually my discord pfp is definitely of a girl in her early twenties. Well, ok MAYBE she's a teenager but she's definitely of age!

Yeah but you're on .world, so lets take what you have to say with a bucket of salt.

Is it really a valid point if you have an anime PFP?
Hot take: it’s totally fair to judge someone based on their avatar as that’s literary what it is, a pictorial summary of what you’re all about.
Counterpoint: sometimes it's just a funny picture I like, and sometimes it's some anime titties I like. Assuming it's always going to be a meaningful representation of the user is unrealistic.

it’s totally fair to judge someone
rarely
You're judging them based off of what is ostensibly a first impression they have chosen for themselves. I can't imagine a scenario where that's not fair. And you don't need to form an entire opinion, but the opinion starts there. If their picture was a sports team I didn't like, some furry shit, or even MAGA, I'd form some opinions out of the gate.

Can't argue with that.
Plot twist - the one calling out your anime pfp has a furry pfp
If the topic is tech related, the furry instantly gains +1 credibility
"Yeah well you're not a real animal!"
"Uh... Yes I am. Humans are animals, doofus."

The trick is to not have an anime pfp and just make terrible arguments in general
Finally, something I'm qualified to do

Maybe you just need to find the right community for your profile picture? Then you are unstoppable.
I'm in this picture and I hate it
Oh, hi Achilles! How have the last dozen centuries been?
I'd say kicking it but frankly not a lot of kicking anything with the ankle. Uk how it is. Generally Greece hasn't been friendly towards people with kinetic disabilities what with all the stairs and ships and all, so I live on an island relying on the community.
Lovely woman opened a hotel here. Had to move out when her daughter was gonna get married but apparently there was like 3 men who might be her dad...and they sang about it? Idk lotta personal issues there. So just hanging around with some guy and his rock these days.
Hi, I AM IN YOUR WIFI. NOW RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU BAKA

Greek gods casting their ballot is actually a great propaganda image for democracy
It could be worse. They could have a greek marble bust with laser eyes instead of the anime pfp.
Me, a Classics enjoyer, immediately suspecting someone of fascism when they have a Graeco-Roman bust pfp:

Similar to the Yahoo email I created when I was 14. Somehow C0d_G0dx69_420@yahoo (Made up but similar) isn't quite the professional impression I want to make now a days.
Instead I now use C0d_G0dx69_420@proton.me
(much more professional)
Genuinely.

The story of Achilles has always creeped me out. Imagine getting shot in the heel with a fucking arrow. Seems like one of the worst places. OTOH I guess no place is exactly good.
I mean, back then, a complete Achilles rupture likely meant you were permanently disabled.
Indeed, which is why getting shot in the heel was every warrior's Achilles Heel.
