Why do people use anime girls as profile picture on GitHub?

Probably because they.like anime?

I got an email from HR once. The user icon was a selfie of the HR person taking one of those cleavage accentuating photos by holding the camera above their head...in some company bathroom....

I feel nervous just getting the email.

Some people just use those spaces to express themselves, if it is a personal site, yeah sure. Professional....I wonder.

Because they want to

Because they don't want to put real pfp and empty pfp looks sus.

Mine's a cute sloth. It has some advantages, for example whenever I mention this there's a good chance someone will go check out my GH who otherwise wouldn't.

Correction, it's the whale from HHGTTG. I don't know when I changed it.

Because weeb shit

Because, all of them are man of culture........

Gonna change my profile picture to senpai to balance things a bit.

Better than a hentai pic I suppose
