Why fanpop users do not use their real image in there profil picture? Any caution?

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 fan to talk and share about what they're fan of. So users here will mostly upload a picture of what they're fan of to make it their profil icon.

facebook though, is lebih about anda 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 atau actor on fb though.

But anda can still do it. Some users have their picture as an icon and it still looks great though ;)

the icon aren't supposed to be their real pictures. they're just for fun.

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've seen some people with real icon but that's strictly for facebook. On fanpop it's audreyy <3

people can do whatever they want with your picture. that's why. but here's a picture of me. lol i did this on paint :D

I don't care if I have my real picture on here.

My icon is me. ^.^

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 use my real foto in my profile(but one only)

I used to use my real picture as my icon, and I mean that was a tahun 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.

I don't use mine because I prefer to have anonymity about myself and I prefer fandom icon 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 lebih fun to use something else as a profil picture and this isn't facebook ^^

I don't really care, I just think that my anime icon are alat pendingin, pendingin than any picture of me...

I don't want to put anything personal of mine on here-that includes photo's of myself.

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 atau 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.

Honestly I can't figure out how 2 upload pictures from my phone atau iPod 2 the computer so I just get pictures off the Internet........

People rarely do it cuz most of them are freaking ugly.

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. anda could say that I'm extremely camera shy, and that I don't believe I'm "photo worthy".
Instead I use icon of characters from my fandoms atau icon of acak 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 profil I've ever owned because I'm as many berkata 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 acak 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.

That's just how I see it.

I'm too paranoid. Besides I have an obsession with lots of characters (especially Bellatrix and Asami Sato) so I want them on my icon.

It's mostly because we wanna tampil our current obsessions.

because they don't want to tampil themselves.

I don't use my foto because I always look horrible, so my profil pic is of two of my idols :)

I never upload foto 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 atau 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.

Well this isnt facebook were talking about. And even if i was on facebook i would still use the Beatles to tampil off my, um... Beatl-ey-ness? I guess.

i don't know i just like lebih puting radom pictures
