    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!

    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.

    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.

    Because they like something about it.

    I picked mine for nostalgia, but I like Earnest P. Worrell because he’s always making some [overly complicated invention]https://youtu.be/uYMw_dlnVH0?feature=shared) that didn’t need to exist, and he switches between multiple characters depending on the situation. I also like his grandiosity, integrity, and drive to do what he thinks is right. He remains positive in difficult situations, and I like his energy.

    I’m old, so I grew up watching this.

    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.

    Idk, but it’s even weirder when they put a giant one on the sides and hood of their car.
