fandom_opendiscussionSpecifically, RP icons. RP is a huge part of fandom, so that belongs here, right?
I hate, hate, HATE icons that are blurry, have bad aspect ratio, are badly cropped, or (and this one's just a pet peeve) aren't square.
But what I hate even more are ridiculous icons that don't even seem to belong to a character. The type you'd see on a mun's journal.
Not only are these on an RP account, the same mun has them on more than one account. For different characters.
The above icons also belong to an account with a few other... special icons. Mildly NSFW, click if you want to see: 1, 2, 3
Come to think of it, no one's used icons like this on their OOC journals since 2001, either.
And here's another example of someone who can't choose icons to save their life.
Come on. All I'm asking is that you put a little thought into your icons and don't just slap random crap up there. Have icons that are actually of your character. Is that so hard?
