We don't have a pfp policy (we should?) but the common thought that "as long as profile pic isn't NSFW it's fine".

I mean, sometimes a PFP pushes the bounds of good taste, like if someone were to have a PFP of, say, Adolf Hitler or Jimmy Savile.

I'd wait for mod input, TBH.

Oops, sorry I already change my profile but I can wait for the mod's response. Edit: I change it back to something appropriate for the meantime .

Bump. I need mods to answer this.

^^^ At least one troper was banned for using a hand Flipping the Bird at viewer as avatar.

If you're talking about Aureolindays, that was not the only reason. But otherwise, I'll wait for mod input.

If anything I think the reaction to the slap was incredibly overblown, so I have no issue with this avatar.

I don't think this incident was anywhere close to being as bad as Adolf Hitler or Jimmy Savile.

You can't just say "perchance".

Fair point. I wasn't trying to say it was.

Yeah the Will Smith Chris Rock thing is just overblown celebrity drama that’s getting memed to death, I don’t see any reason it would be considered offensive or in breach of site policy.

If you have to ask, it's probably inappropriate. And then do you want to have to defend that choice? Like, are you endorsing a celebrity attacking another celebrity at a public event? Or are you comparing yourself to the victim?

I thought about using Melania Trump's NFT as my profile picture. I'm not the least bit worried about getting sued by her. But it would be offensive to some of you, or at best, confusing. So I didn't.

I'm not going to defend it. As I said, I pick this image as a profile before because it's a meme and I pick memes as a profile sometimes. So yeah, I'll delete the Will Smith slap image in my gallery.

^^ It's not that deep. It's a meme, both were at fault, and it's not like he stabbed him. It's a slap. Like Synch said, it's way overblown.
