Personal opinion: the anime MAGA avatar is hilarous. We shouldn't be afraid of making fun of that kind of imagery.
It barely makes fun of it. I kinda agree with what you're saying but it annoys me just how often you see variants of this slogan being used even if its sometimes making fun of it.
Little anime girl? "Silent majority"? All this misses is a MLP pillow and a fedora. Not exactly the macho imagery MAGA people go for. I think it works.
Agree to disagree. If we can laugh off Hitler, we can laugh off Trump. You're making him something bigger than he is, in my opinion. He'll go down in history as a buffoon more than a monster.
This is hilarious and would make people really fucking consider making such bets.

Believe it or not that type of thing is very common among the MAGA twitter crowd for avis. The 4chan demo.
I realise if you stop and think about the avatar it's clearly mocking Trump and his dumbass slogan. Problem for me is it just makes his slogan more visible and keeps him on everyone's minds. Also how many people actually take in the joke from an avatar like that and how many just see the MAGA bullshit.
You see and hear that slogan all over the place and whilst it's often making fun of it I just hate how pervasive it's become.
It to me the jokes in bad taste in this situation. I think making an avatar to mock people trying to dodge this bet is hilarious I just don't agree with using a slogan that is currently being used to create hate and cause suffering to so many.
Hitler isn't currently causing death and suffering to an untold amount of people. Silly comparison IMO.
The 4chan trumpers literally use anime avatars with Trump shit, yes.
I'm speechless.
Make America Great Again. Nationalism. Anime? How does it even make sense?
What about Trumps platform or anything from the extreme right makes sense?
Also this wasn't where I expected this thread to go lol.
I understand what you're saying but I don't think Trump will ever have anything on Hitler, and I personally believe he deserves to be mocked more than anything.
I grew up with my grandfather constantly recounting how the nazis killed his brother in the camp of Mauthausen, the fine details of their deeds. My grandmother would then chime in and show were they would hide when nazis came for anyone with a surname that could remotely sound jewish. I don't think Trump is worse than that. He's nowhere close to that. He's a failure even at being evil, but that's just me maybe.
Excellent point and exactly what I thought when I was hitting "post reply" :P .
4chan loves anime. 4chan loves anime avatars. A shit ton of 4chan likes Trump (and they also have twitter presences). So, alt-right incel Trumpers that watch anime have anime avi's, and many put a maga hat on em.
These aren't baby boomer Trumpers that put em on.
Making someone change their avatar to a MAGA avatar during Pride month seems really insensitive, not counting all the other awful things that game has done. It's turning what could be a silly joke (maybe an Avatar avatar or something) into something malicious.
The movie won't be out of theaters within Pride month. It'll take longer than that.
I completely forgot this bet until the thread became super active. I can't find what was supposed to be the losing side's avatar so I picked the shittiest Elvis Impersonator Digimon. I can't believe how bad that franchise was (is?), compared to the greatest of all time Pokemans which will gross 1bln+ before the sun turns into a giant and engulfes us all.
Even if it wasn't pride month I still think it's in poor taste.
Good lord I was wondering why this thread was still so active long after the result of the bet was obvious and I did not anticipate that madness in the last few pages.
I just wanted to say go fuck yourself. Really glad you stepped down from a place of "power" around here. I'm out of this bet, I changed out of my Digimon avatar. Ban my ass for a month or however long. I don't care. I thought it was funny, harmless fun and you go and pull this..?
A friend in WrassleERA got banned for three days for admitting to using illegal streams to watch WWE, as a sort of protest. Yet this is okay?
You could have done some cringey sexualized pokemon art to embarrass late comers, something silly but clearly worse. This is just absolutely stupid.

Holy shit, are you people really trying to get a guy to use a politically divisive, and absolutely offensive avatar... Because the guy is adhering to the terms of the bet?
Didn't we just have a poll that says "Everyone here judges people by their avatars"? You're basically damning them on the rest of the board, and considering this board, going against the very ideals the board was started.
That's fucked up, like actually fucked up.

They're supposed to be fun avatar bets. Harmless good fun to rib each other over. If people want to get technical and take it seriously, it can be an avatar that makes them regret doing it. Basically, if you aren't going act in the spirit of what avatar bets are supposed to be, you can get an avatar that won't be in that spirit either.
tl;dr: its about the spirit dude
You should follow your own advice.
I'm not the one affected by this, so I support this incredibly harsh/incredibly fair punishment for the Loser who was incredibly bad at holding the L
Thread is so embarrassing. And I mean those of you hounding people ITT and via PMs to hold up to some stupid forum bet.
The maga shit is just disgusting and y'all should be ashamed.
Sorry but this was gross to even suggest. You should know better.
