Should I change my avatar?

When I first joined EP I didn't wanna use my real face so I looked for a pic that would be OK. I didn't spend much time looking (about 30 seconds) and I quite like Depeche Mode and I found a decent looking pic of their singer Dave Gahan. I kept it when I joined SW cos I wanted to be recognised

Thing is that I don't like Depeche mode that much. I do like their music but there are other bands I like more. I don't know what to change too though. I'm really political but having a political avi is a bit much. I don't have any heroes that I'm obsessed with and wanna show off.

What should I do?

OK guys, I think I'm gonna keep the one I have because most of you advise it. Thanks for the feedback

I think you should keep it. This one has the guy in thinking mode. Doing lots of thinking before writing a long essay. It fits.

I didn't recognise it was Dave Gahan until you just mentioned it. What about the Burnley FC shield or something with the claret and blue. It's certainly visually identifiable and I don't know anyone who uses similar.

@GlassDog Not many Burnley fans on here. I'm fact I've met exactly zero, so it would be distinct.
GlassDog · 41-45, M
@Burnley123 You're one the few people who don't know any Burnley fans here. Most of us know one!

@GlassDog If they were here they would have found me so I would know. Clue in the name. 😜

Use a partial face pic of yourself, like your jawline. 🙂
marsbar · F
@Burnley123 Yeah, that eye 😁
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@marsbar Damn, you got me. 👍

😂why do you think I’ve ended up with this penguin?
But yeah like bijoux said I’ve connected this pic with you too, I thought it was you tbfh. Play around with it and see what’s comfortable

@AndrewtheAlu I thought maybe you were just mega obsessed with penguins and had pics on the wall. You dream about penguins at night, no?

I spend an average of 15 seconds choosing my profile pic lol. R u comfterble using ur real face or still nah?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@SW-User I'm fine with my face but I'd just rather not have it public on this site. I think I still have a real pic on my profile that friends can see but nah I won't use it as an avi.
SW-User
@Burnley123 maybe keep it. I think it fits u
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@SW-User Yeah maybe. I'm really not a Depeche Mode fan boy but people seem to like the pic.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
I don't really know what you should do, I was looking up 60s sci fi covers that were pretty neat. Not saying you'd do that but they looked really cool 🤗
SW-User
I am SO disappointed. I thought it was you!
SW-User
@Burnley123 I love Depeche Mode. I think your new avi should be Moz.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@SW-User Not a bad one. I like the smiths as much as Depeche Mode and I do look a little bit like a younger Morrissey. I'm living in Manchester now too. Definantely Maybe.
SW-User
@Burnley123 Well, there you are!
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
you're overthinking it, unless you have tits or an actual pic, no one pays much attention to profile anyways...
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@wildbill83 lol. Good answer.
Northwest · M
I like your avatar :-)
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Northwest Thanks. I like yours too and it's so good that someone copied it. 😉

@Harriet03 Nice colour. I'll give you that.

@Burnley123 [image deleted]Dare You!!
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Harriet03 Yep, nice colour. 😜

Use a Burnley legend? Joey Barton?😂
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@thatscottishguy He was good for Burnley but so good for Celtic.

Do you have any pictures that you like, of art, various scenes etc? What about a picture of you edited in a way that you can't recognize you, like I did with mine?
Hard to say. I really like this avatar and have come to connect it with you. On the other hand, are there any young like-minded politicians whose pics would make a good avi ? 😃
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@bijouxbroussard I could pic a young female politician whose politics I agree with and is despised by the SW right. Any suggestions? 😜
@Burnley123 If you were in the U.S. I’d suggest Ocasio-Cortez or Rashida Tlaib.
On the other hand, what do you think of bitmojis ?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@bijouxbroussard lots of good ideas but nah I use so many emojis that having one as an aviator would be overkill. Having a politician as an avatar would also be overkill.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
Probably play it safe and put a landscape?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@HannibalAteMeOut Nah. Thanks for the suggestion but nah.

John Cooper Clarke had a high opinion of Burnley 😏

@SW-User JCC Absolute LEDGE!
