this guys name is witcher george. His videos are fine, but avatars like this one where imagines himself as a witcher are so treat brained to me. Why not just a witcher medallion or something

Idk maybe im an old out of touch man.

    I'm guessing for this specific example it's because they are trying to brand their content. If they're streaming their face all the time, it's good to have your face in the pfp. If they're streaming witcher all the time, well...face + witcher seems reasonable? Idk it is super normal to make an avatar of yourself in video games

        Kill the concept of "cringe" in your mind. Reject the you that deems things "cringe", and be free comrade-raccoon

        Yeah, I think it's just really normal now across a lot of apps even outside of games due to the "gamification" of...well, everything

    I dunno, I think I get it, projecting yourself into things you enjoy is a natural part of experiencing them. It's like, part of the exchange of reading, at least in my experience. Like, who here can say they didn't watch Lord of The Rings and imagine who they would like to be in Middle Earth. Perhaps the treatbrain theory goes too far here, chud avatars notwithstanding.
