How do you imagine people on here?

[Il Medico]

I think it is safe to say that we all conjure up images of the people we are talking to on here based on their online personality (their real personality hopefully), or perhaps I'm just weird, both are equally likely. However, assuming that I am not a freak, how do you picture some members on here?


My List of people who I have a clear idea of. (note an number of these people I actually have seen off of revleft; facebook or in real life, or what not. So this is purely how they come off)



TAT- A big burly bear of a man. Can out drink anyone. Most likely has an epic beard.


Bilan- A tall brunette boy whose life revolves round music, art, books, coffee, and cigarettes. A great man indeed.

Augustwest- The kindly old gentleman. Always is looking for a reasonable solutions and in very interested in compromise, yet can be firm if he has to be. Propably wears nice clothes and has beard that is the envy of any sage.

Sam_B- A Middle aged English man (yes I know he's Scottish. ) whose greatest joy in life is destroying naive 'children' with his scolding quips and pessimism. Very funny indeed.

Marsella- The wicked witch of the left. A legendary figure that haunts the dreams of revleftdean children. A boogie woman of sorts. She is very intelligent and enjoys toying with her victims. Can only be defeated with a squirt gun. Or perhaps a water balloon.

Jazzartt- A young brit, likes his drink and is extremely anti authority. Has a general 'fuck you' attitude about everything and everyone.

bcbm- A crazy hipster. Probably looks like his old avatar. (You know, the one with a beard and sunglasses wearing a hoodie)

Raul Duke- An interesting lad. He is knowledgeable and respected. He also has a love for his contraband. Great music taste.

AK- A likable kid who is too smart for his own good. That's it for now, might do more later...

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

I have a hard time imagining what people look like if I don't actually have a clue. People tend to become synonymous with their avatars.

It's easier if they don't have an avatar. For instance, I always imagine RED DAVE to be this gruff-voiced old man with huge, deeply suntanned arms.

[Sasha]

this, i'm so going to be confused if i ever meet the doctor and he doesnt look anything like david tennant

[Il Medico]

Then I am afraid you'll be quite confused if the situation ever arises. I once had a haircut kinda like Tennant's though. But that was about as close as I got. Alas, I am not nearly as gorgeous.

[Sasha]

so if i'm not an typing monkey (wich i am) how do you imagine me then?

[Il Medico]

so if i'm not an typing monkey (wich i am) how do you imagine me then?
A muscular guy. Possibly sort, though probably not. Is either bald or has short hair. Wears a black T-shirt and jeans when bouncing and when you get off you run to your locker and grab your hoodie and bandanna and cause chaos among cops, Nazis, or the like.

[NecroCommie]

People? Here?

I don't imagine you guys. To me you are just symbols appearing on my screen for no apparent reason.

[Quail]

It's easier if they don't have an avatar. For instance, I always imagine RED DAVE to be this gruff-voiced old man with huge, deeply suntanned arms.

I imagine RED DAVE like that too. I don't know why, it's just what comes to mind from his writing style.

I can't really imagine what most people look like tbh. I tend to associate people with their avatars, so the most memorable people to me are people with cool avatars.

I have no idea how I come across online. Probably a humourless drunkard. I don't think that text conveys personality very well though because there's no expression in it.

nah, been quite out of shape and i have always been more lean than muscular, bald is spot on but with sideburns. when i'm working i need to wear an uniform (black combat boot, black cargo pants, tshirt with the venuelogo, on ocasions i need to wear an suit) in my spare time i indeed almost always wear an hoodie but bandana's are not in style here. we rock the oldschool thin balaclava (http://www.ehatmania.com/images/ski/balaclava/WBC114NFM.jpg) or the cutoff black t-shirt sleeve.
you missed my streched ears (1.2 cm) and the tats though.

but lets make it more easy for you, i should be somewhere in this picture

:lol:

[AK]

AK- A likable kid who is too smart for his own good.Likeable? Pfft.


People tend to become synonymous with their avatars.
This, pretty much. It's why I can't tell you how I imagine Il Medico and many others to be. Nevertheless, I imagine Sam_b to be a grumpy, old, sarcastic, perpetually drunk Scotsman, NoXion is a technocratic warlord (with a magical staff), pranabjyoti is a lunatic, TVM is a complete moron with no fashion sense (see what I did there?), RED DAVE has a sizable moustache on him, psycho is a hooligan and No Vacancy is a troll lying in wait under the three Billy goat's bridge.

EDIT: *looks at psycho's above post*
Holy shit I got it right. Sorta.

actualy your one of the few people i do have an mental picture from:
http://www.aldenbates.com/g/tpol.jpg
or maybe you used t-pol as your avatar for a while

[Quail]

Yeah, I used T'Pol because someone else was using Spock ha. I don't look anything like that though.

[Sasha]

yeah thought so, but wasnt sure, well that proves my point again.
although when people actualy start seeing me as an typing monkey it might be time to change my avatar again.

[Il Medico]

:lol:
Stop having noxion clone you.

[Il Medico]

I picture kayl as a shy, possibly shaved head, punk girl.

This thread makes me feel weird, Am I the only person who fabricates images of people I've never seen based solely on how they come off?

[Sasha]

Stop having noxion clone you.

send in the clones! send in the clones!

[Widerstand]

but lets make it more easy for you, i should be somewhere in this picture

:lol:

Hey cool, we look alike every once in a while.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

I imagine psycho to be able to kick my ass.

[HEAD ICE]

Sometimes I identify people's identities with their avatar. Look at me--I'm suicidal.

[Dimentio]

I imagine Wolf Larson as a boyish guy with a round head and ruff hair, whose ears are standing out. He is dressed like Rik in "The Young Ones" and brags about protesting the school meals.

Mari3l I imagine as a girl with plain looks apart from the dreads.

I actually imagined TC as she looked like. The same for Sentinel and RedAnarchist.

BobKindles I actually imagined to have a beard and be somewhat more handsome than he was in IRL.

[Sentinel]

As we did have a picture thread in the old CC (except for the last year or so due to security reasons), I actually know what most 'veterans' look like, others I have on facebook or MSN. But there have always been those who refuse to post any picture of themselves on the net in any shape or form, which is no doubt smart.

There are also those who refused to do it for so long, that even after I saw their picture I keep going with the mental image I have of them.. For instance I always imagined former admin LSD to be a blond, muscled hero not far from the old soviet propaganda posters. He turned out to look completely different, but I still see the two pictures simultaneously when I think of him.

Anyway of those I haven't met or seen I for some reason imagine Fuserg9 to look very 'regular' (but goodlooking), a 20ish boy of normal lenght and dark hair. As he likes football a lot I usually picture him in a sports outfit of some kind.

Damn, there must be others I have a stubborn mental image of this kind of, but I can't come to think of them, at least not before my morning pipe (yeah, it's 17:07 here, but I'm on holiday from work).

Edit: Indeed, Devrim, another for-me-faceless man is reading this thread. I see him as an old, weather-beaten but handsome warrior; gray/black short hair and no beard, rather (but not overtly) skinny. Dresses respectably.

But mostly we now have newer members, joined after I became less active here, who I haven't had time to form a picture of.

[Sasha]

oh dude, i rember how shocked i was when i saw sentinels picture the first time :laugh:

[Sentinel]

oh dude, i rember how shocked i was when i saw sentinels picture the first time

What, why, how did you expect me to look? Was it a picture where I had hair (and if so, blond or dark), or a newer one without? :)

[Sasha]

it was an work photo, you looked like an extra from an certain TV series with an catchy theme song....;)

[Sentinel]

an extra from an certain TV series with an catchy theme song

Is that on Youtube?

[Sasha]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_wFEB4Oxlo

that was you right? or am i getting confused with an other user?

[Sentinel]

am i getting confused with an other user?


Lol, definitely. Perhaps because I work on the sea.

[Tjis]

I still imagine psycho as a typing penguin. It'll probably take a while to get used to the monkey.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I imagine Devrim as a stern old dude with a huge beard (like, we're talking Engels-level beard, here) with a grumpy expression on his face when he informs all of the Leninists that, in fact, he personally met Lenin, and that Lenin's handshake was limp and floppy.

[maskerade]

I imagine Red Dave to be a guy who types with two fingers only, because he is older than time itself.

But I haven't really been here long enough to have a mental image of many others

[Quail]

I picture kayl as a shy, possibly shaved head, punk girl.

That's actually not too far off. My hair is like a skinhead girl cut at the moment and it changes colour every few weeks :lol:


This thread makes me feel weird, Am I the only person who fabricates images of people I've never seen based solely on how they come off?
It would seem so :P

[DaComm]

I picture Explosive Situation as spikey-haired, 17 yr. old who wears black pants all the time with different gore/horror movie expressions on his shirts. I picture him being a little short, relatively muscular and no mustache.

[RedAnarchist]

I've seen a lot of RevLeft members before in photos, so I know what many of them look like. The following are people I've never seen before.

I imagine Edelweiss/Malte to have a short beard, long-ish dark brown hair, wearing a t-shirt and jeans and perhaps always carrying a laptop.

I imagine psycho to be tall, blonde, clean-shaven, slightly muscular and probably wearing a lot of black.

Fuser I imagine to be short, black hair, always wearing an Omonoia shirt.

[EvilRedGuy]

I have a hard time imagining what people look like if I don't actually have a clue. People tend to become synonymous with their avatars.

It's easier if they don't have an avatar. For instance, I always imagine RED DAVE to be this gruff-voiced old man with huge, deeply suntanned arms.

Agree whith this, avatars make me imagine what peoples are.

[Pirate Utopian]

TVM is a complete moron with no fashion sense (see what I did there?)
It's not really imagining if there are videos proving he is exactly that.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

It's not really imagining if there are videos proving he is exactly that.

I imagine Pirate Utopian as a cup of coffee with some purplish stuff in it it. Either that or a nice big cup of delicious hot chocolate, made just the way I like it, with cream, sugar but no whipped cream on top.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

Psycho is a chimp with a revolver, Sentinel is a cyborg, and Kayl is a Star Trekish masonic symbol.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I picture Explosive Situation as spikey-haired, 17 yr. old who wears black pants all the time with different gore/horror movie expressions on his shirts. I picture him being a little short, relatively muscular and no mustache.

Haha, is that really the image I give off? :lol:

[Queercommie Girl]

Psycho is a chimp with a revolver, Sentinel is a cyborg, and Kayl is a Star Trekish masonic symbol.

What about me? :lol:

[Nachie]

A couple of Il Medico's originals are dead-on-target enough to be hilarious :lol:

[Invincible Summer]

I envision all the technocrats (Sentinel, Noxion, Cult of Reason, Dimentio, etc) having either lots of facial stubble or just sparse beards in general, with shaggy hair and glasses.

bcbm - hipster.

Bilan - hipster.

psycho - hipster

TAT - hipster


Raul Duke - one of those more well-dressed hipsters, but not pretentiously s

Sam_b - old, grizzled, construction-worker type guy with a goatee or soul patch

Rjevan - a young Stalin :lol:

[L.A.P.]

i imagine myself looking like everything that is awesome.

[DaComm]

Haha, is that really the image I give off? :lol:

Very much so.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

What about me? :lol:

I picture you as a cute but slightly nerdy Asian girl:lol:

[Lenina Rosenweg]

How do people see me?

[Zanthorus]

I find it pretty difficult to picture people accurately on the basis of their posts, so most of the time I just default to imagining them as their avatars.

[Pirate Utopian]

I imagine Pirate Utopian as a cup of coffee with some purplish stuff in it it. Either that or a nice big cup of delicious hot chocolate, made just the way I like it, with cream, sugar but no whipped cream on top.
Bingo! :thumbup1:

[Barry Lyndon]

I picture you as a cute but slightly nerdy Asian girl:lol:

I have the exact same perception(regarding Iseul).

As long as wer'e being narcissists, what about me?

[Nolan]

Zanthorus has always been and always will be the happy winking star.

AK is a likeable (sorry, it's true) Aussie anarchist who I still imagine as a duck.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Very much so.

I'm actually 5'10 (so not particularly short), with hair that I always keep very short, and my dress code consists of blue jeans and assorted t-shirts/hooded sweatshirts (none of which are horror related). I also graduated high school years ago. :lol:

You're right about the no mustache part, though. I don't really like facial hair.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

I have the exact same perception(regarding Iseul).

As long as wer'e being narcissists, what about me?

I picture Barry as in his mid 20s, medium height thin and Native American. He reads a lot and is very serious.

Taller than thou :P

[Invincible Summer]

A glorious beacon of light.


Really though, a brunette with bangs and thick-rimmed glasses, but in a stylishly geeky way. Sort of like Sunsara Taylor I guess?

You're always Uncle Ho to me... but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say a skinny black guy

Close. I'm a dirty blond. Sometimes I red tint my hair. Thick glasses though.

And of course I am a glorious beacon of light, that goes without saying.

[Il Medico]

I picture Iseul as a cute Asian girl with long hair, who wears plaid shirts and skinny jeans. Also, those adorable trendy boots that are popular with stylish girls....I can't think of what they are called.

Invincible Summer- A tall Asian guy with brilliant blond hair. (I used to imagine him as a white guys with bright blond hair due to his old name Helios +, but then I discovered he was Asian, but I still imagine him with blond hair). Wears leather jackets and T-shirt. Is really fit.

[Invincible Summer]

A lot of Asian girls around here wear Uggs but I'm not sure if they're still "trendy."

If we meet in person you would be horribly disappointed. I'm like... 5'5" with dark hair and somewhat fit I suppose. I do wear lots of t-shirts though.

[Amphictyonis]

As long as y0u don't masturbate to the images in your mind.

[AK]

Yes but I predicted this before I made the connection to his youtube channel.

[Pavlov's House Party]

i always pictured the doctor as being david tennant as well.

comradeom in my mind is some old professor looking man in a big wool sweater, reading a book about the soviet union in WWII for the 30th time in a mahogany room with many books.

[Jazzhands]

Red Dave looks like an ex-hippie who never really made it out of the 60s. Long grey beard and only owns tye dye shirts and shorts. Also, possible hipster.

Psycho. Old, but badass and experienced man. Like Sam Carter from Deus Ex.

Sam b looks and sounds like Brian from Family Guy.

Thomas Sankara (Adi, whatever) is the cool character from a low-budget blaxploitation movie.

Brother No. 1 and pranabjoti are both 12-year-old Duke Nukem wannabes, except they don't look cool at all.

Rosa is a brunette schoolteacher in a grey pantsuit, glasses, and tightly bunned hair. Like the semi-attractive principal.

Lenina, same thing but more attractive and a lot younger. Plus people actually like her.:D

The Doctor looks like he does in his avatar, except he has a lot of stubble because he's too lazy to shave.

Q is a 20-30 year old young man. Clean shaven, white, somewhat attractive. And just very very average in terms of looks.

TAT is probably a college student that everyone thinks is annoying despite being moderately attractive.

Fuserg is either the jock or the stoner from Breakfast Club. Haven't really decided...jock. yeah, he's the jock.

[Magón]

I see Amphictyonis as a tough chick, who's pretty smart, probably has some form of College/University training, tall (but for some reason I just get that feeling from your avatar pic), and knows her shit like I know the back of my hands, (or since she talked about Masturbation, my Penis. :lol: )

I see AK as a young little Anarcho-teen who's pretty smart, but maybe just average in Australian ways. But in young US teens, pretty smart. The rest I don't know, but probably the average Australian look? (Do they even have looks? I dunno?)

[Martin Blank]

Some of these descriptions are hilarious! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

It almost makes me wonder what most of you think I look like. No cheating from those who friended me on Facebook.

[Pavlov's House Party]

This is very true. I shave only once a week at best.

[DaComm]

AK: Blonde-haired teenage Aussie , medium height, who likes metal and is prone to wear black and shorts
Nin: A traveling revolutionary, a bit on the short side, black-haired, wears varying colored outfits and is latino

[Il Medico]

what about me? :o
Well, I've always thought of you as either a mid-aged fat guy in a che shirt, or a 15 year old with a Stalin poster on his wall. Some times these two images combine, tis disturbing to say the least.

[AK]

what about me? :o
I've always imagined you to be a humble Mexican crop farmer but living in Canada for some reason.

[AK]

AK: Blonde-haired teenage Aussie,
Actually my hair is naturally dark brown, almost black.


medium height,
188cm.

Black, yes. Shorts, no. Don't go thinking I'm some emo kid, either.

[DaComm]

You're not funny enough for me to think of you as Hugh Lorie. But I usually imagine you as a blond, 20 something, guy with lots of stubble and a generally unkempt appearance. Usually with an un-tightened tie.

[Raúl Duke]

TAT- A big burly bear of a man. Can out drink anyone. Most likely has an epic beard.That's accurate actually, to my knowledge.


I actually imagined TC as she looked like.I've seen her picture so I have an idea of how she looks like. I also seen a picture of Prairie Fire. Back when people could post pics in the CC. As I can see, those who were there a while back remember.





Stereotype (in my mind) of Most New Members: High-school kid who may or may not be too infatuated with politics, history, and war (or be all into RED ALERT) and/or high school kid who is punk, anaaaaaaarchy,etc.

"Old Guard of Revleft/CC Remnants": (From what I gathered out of 50/75% of the last "recent" CC pics) A varied number of rather "normal" looking people with very 'interesting' or 'unique' aspects to their lives.

bcbm: A cross between a stereotypical hipster and semi-"pomo" 'left-intellectual' (although would loath being called one) who doesn't take anything (online) serious to any degree.

bilan: same but more left-intellectual than hipster, the whole situationist vibe going.

All the technocrats: Nerdy, kinda and not in a bad way. Like, the people who are knowledgeable in science, technology, and have odd taste in things.

Il Medico: a man of classy tastes in perhaps virtually everything, a connoisseur, a worldly kind of person. Good music taste. Besides that, seemingly down-to-earth at times. Is a doctor.

Explosive Situation: A very down-to-earth/realist person, the kind of guy you never have a reason why not to hang out with. Perhaps an amazing person to smoke pot or trip balls with.

Devrim: an old "uncle" type person who knows a lot of interesting shit from world experience (something that can be discerned subtly from his expression/eyes) with a Eugune Hutz style facial hair plus (maybe) epic beard.

RAAN Crew: a varied lot, but many are down-to-earth in some ways while some are a bit far-out. Seemingly cynical of the status/cynical of the left, a cynicism that comes out of a very plain no-bs outlook in life.

kayl: a shy girl with short hair.

TVM: See "stereotype of new revleft member (type 1)" but just being here longer and more knowledgeable. Should really find something more to life besides politics, vanguard, and revolution.

Jazzartt- A young brit, likes his drink and is extremely anti authority. Has a general 'fuck you' attitude about everything and everyone.

Lenina: Perhaps one of those activist woman types, but leftist, more sincere, and perhaps normal-er.

Extreme Anti-revistionists (like Soviet dude, etc): Losers with no friends or something with a warped world-view.

Prairie Fire: Quite pretty womyn who surprisingly/oddly/etc is a 'hoxhaist'/a bit seemingly "hard-line" and runs a (perhaps small) party/organization in Canada last time I heard.

[gorillafuck]

I picture everyone on here as either their avatar or someone who I know.

I picture psycho as an aid at my school who is a normal sized guy but he has an awesome beard and used to be a bouncer so he's pretty muscular.

I imagine this is an invasion as someone who I don't personally know but I have seen around at some punk shows who has a shaved head, tight black jeans, wears black low-cut converse shoes, wears white t-shirts, and has a face kind of like a dinosaur.

I picture kayl as a good friend of mine since kayl and her are pretty similar as far as interests and attitude (also some life experiences I've seen kayl post about are exact things my friend has told me about in her life), based on what I can garner from forum posts. She's short, has brown hair that covers one eye slightly, and is fairly normal looking except that she's the only girl I know who wears cargo shorts.

I'm really curious how people picture me.

[Os Cangaceiros]

bcbm: A cross between a stereotypical hipster and semi-"pomo" 'left-intellectual' (although would loath being called one) who doesn't take anything (online) serious to any degree.

ahahahaha that's actually really accurate.

I'd like to think that that's true, too. :blushing:

EDIT: I see Nin carrying around a ukulele with them on trip around Mexico in a Volkswagen Type 2.

I've never played a Ukelele in my life. (But I have/do play the guitar.) And I did have a '75 Volks Bus when I was 15-18, no joke either, it was a rusted two tone ocean blue/white color with the Volkswagen emblem hung upside down.


AK: Blonde-haired teenage Aussie , medium height, who likes metal and is prone to wear black and shorts
Nin: A traveling revolutionary, a bit on the short side, black-haired, wears varying colored outfits and is latino

I'm only 5'11 with almost black hair. (It's a really, really, really dark brown, and from a distance could be thought black.) I'm not much for colored outfits that involve very bright/vibrant/neon colors.

[Il Medico]

Haha! I'm actually really envious of people like that. Those that are worldly yet down to earth at the same time are the best lot. I think of you, Bilan, bcbm, and Explosive Situation in a similar way to be honest.


Devrim- An older Arab man who is ungodly well traveled. Very knowledgeable about people a culture. Intimidating in a way. The Mentor type mixed with the cool uncle.

Explosive Situation- A really chill guy. Would be awesome to just hang out with an smoke a joint. Has a wealth of experince that a man his age shouldn't.

@ Raul Duke:
Also, mate, have you listened to the new of Montreal album yet?

[Raúl Duke]

I'd like to think that that's true, too. http://www.revleft.com/vb/../revleft/smilies2/blushing.gifFor some reason, I imagine you to be a very no-bullshit/no-nonsense realist kind of guy who, when high, wouldn't mind entertaining the thought of some non-sense like a space-tree and that the house/car was a space-ship heading towards a space tree (which are the size of planets, psychedelic marijuana is growing on the leaves) in the sky. Yet doing all this in a way that it doesn't sound silly (but it is quite funny).


Also, mate, have you listened to the new of Montreal album yet? I've heard their first major single (Coquette Coquette) off the new album but not heard the whole album.

I imagine Thomas Sankara looking that way too and I imagine him having a russian accent.

[Il Medico]

I've heard their first major single (Coquette Coquette) off the new album but not heard the whole album.
The album is quite simply amazing. (as one would expect)

EDIT:

Here's another song off the album-

[AK]

I usually expect anyone who likes metal to be goth or emo, simply from experience.

And of I?
I can't actually build a mental image of you yet :confused:

[Weezer]

I imagined AK as some punkish looking fellow with heavy BSDM fetishism. Then I saw his facebook. :lol:

Gran Rojo looks like your typical female Marxist-Leninst Japanophile, marching with a portrait of Stalin at the local Hoxhaist Union protest with dyed neon pink hair.

The Doctor is a fairly cute twink. :blushing:

scarletghoul has light facial hair and talks quietly.

Q is a red skinhead but very soft looking, and a friendly voice.

TAT is a rough looking skinhead, with combat boots.

Kleber is an intelligent looking man, who looks like a 40's hipster, with a smoking addiction.

Adi Shankara I imagined is a mixed race mid-20's male hipster.

Raúl Duke looks like a Gonzo journalist, I probably think that from his avatars.

[#FF0000]

I literally thought Dean was a cat for like a year

[Il Medico]

The Doctor is a fairly cute twink. :blushing:

Closer to being a bear honestly, just without all the hair....and masculinity.

The duck avatars.
Duck BDSM....?

[Quail]

Cute Asian girl sounds about right for Iseul. I also imagine her to be quite no-nonsense personality-wise and would call people out for being assholes.

I imagine Raul Duke to be like the character of the same name from Fear and Loathing. He would probably be pretty fun to get high with.

Adi Shankara I imagine to be medium height to short, quite thin but with a loud voice and a slightly aggressive manner.

[KC]

I think I can remember what most people like from either FB, meeting IRL or from F2N back in the Commie Club days. Those of you I can't remember or haven't seen I picture as like 16 year old whiney brats that acts like they know everything but don't know shit.

Which I think, for a gross generalization, is fairly accurate.

On a more serious note, I generally picture people based on people that I have met who hold similar beliefs.

[Os Cangaceiros]

For some reason, I imagine you to be a very no-bullshit/no-nonsense realist kind of guy who, when high, wouldn't mind entertaining the thought of some non-sense like a space-tree and that the house/car was a space-ship heading towards a space tree (which are the size of planets, psychedelic marijuana is growing on the leaves) in the sky. Yet doing all this in a way that it doesn't sound silly (but it is quite funny).

Not to sound like a total stoner or anything, but honestly some of the best conversations I've ever had have occured after smoking a joint (or two). :lol:

[Zeus the Moose]

what about me? :o

Because of some avatars on this site, I tend to think that all Hoxhaists are either cybergoths or otaku. It's pretty amusing/slightly scary, because I occasionally project this onto other anime nerds/otaku that I know IRL.

[9]

I think of everybody as their avatar too.

[Devrim]

It almost makes me wonder what most of you think I look like. No cheating from those who friended me on Facebook.like dr house.

Yes, a lot of people have said that they imagine people base on their avatars. Unfortunately for Miles, his probably doesn't put across the impression he wants.

Hugh Laurie may have recently become a big success in America with 'House', but I think to viewers who are more familiar with English Television that would not be how they think of him.

I don't watch 'House', but I did see part of an episode once, and thought "Oh my God. Is that Hugh Laurie?" He comes across as quite different than the role that he had previously been typecast in. It really made me think "What a fine actor".

The thing is that for many people, the association with Hugh Laurie is not one of a rugged American doctor, but of an English upper class twit. Its a role that I in the past he used to talk on chat shows about being unable to escape. To me, and I presume other, Hugh Laurie will always bring to mind the typical English aristocratic fool.

It is probably connected to his two most famous characters before he got the House role, Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, Lt. the Honourable George Colhurst St. Barleigh, added to which of course was a superb rendition of the Prince Regent.

[Quail]

Well you're basically "Sandro" from Heroes of Might and Magic 3 because that's like one of my favourite games ever (and I used to use that hero a lot :lol:), so you just command a great army of skeletons, zombies, etc.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Necro probably looks like this when not wearing his corpse paint:
http://www.shelley-j.com/tl_files/contents/gallery/portraits/20080530_Finntroll01.jpg

Although, maybe 10 years younger than this guy, or at least less aged looking.

[NecroCommie]

Wow! I am alot shorter, younger, and my hair is brown and curly. Otherwise I think that's actually pretty close. Those who befriended me on facebook know this.

[Rusty Shackleford]

honestly, i just googled Finntroll :lol:

[Zeus the Moose]

honestly, i just googled Finntroll :lol:

Dude, Finntroll doesn't wear corpse paint. Get the differences between black metal and folk metal right ;)

[Rusty Shackleford]

i know that, i was making that point by saying "this is what he looks like without his corpse paint". if i looked up, say, gorgoroth, i dont think Necro would fit it in my mind really.


anyways, im surprised i was actually close to that on necro! i did that as a joke but damn, im good :D

[Invincible Summer]

I'm really curious how people picture me.

Because of your Patrick Star avatar, I always think you're somewhat overweight, but not grossly so. And wear white v-neck undershirts.

I associate a lot of people with their avatars, and most of the time, I have no idea what their avatars actually represent. The Best Mod is probably someone who wears clothes from the 90s or something, since he also still has a shutter-shades avatar.

I've been going through a bunch of my old avatars recently, so they don't really mean much, by the way.

[Devrim]

Indeed, Devrim, another for-me-faceless man is reading this thread. I see him as an old, weather-beaten but handsome warrior; gray/black short hair and no beard, rather (but not overtly) skinny. Dresses respectably.

The hair is more grey nowadays. I have a (once) athletic build, but could probably do with losing 5 kilos today. I usually wear jeans and a shirt or T-shirt. I do have a suit but save it for when people die or get married.


I imagine Devrim as a stern old dude with a huge beard (like, we're talking Engels-level beard, here) with a grumpy expression on his face when he informs all of the Leninists that, in fact, he personally met Lenin, and that Lenin's handshake was limp and floppy.

I have never had a beard beyondthe one I have after a week's growth (I am lazy about shaving sometimes). Obviously I never met Lenin, but I did once meet a woman who had.

Shit, I knew you'd look like that..! I see that you have moved, btw -- I used to live in Seinäjoki for 2 years (8 years ago before moving back to Stockholm). Favorite bars that I remember: Downstreet, Duuni, Palaveri, Kultainen Kulaus. Not sure if all of them still exist, my friend who still ives there told me they are converting lots of bars into 'sportspubs' there now.

It's a too small town for my taste, but I liked it as there are lots of students -- ie young people -- there, and I was 19 when I moved there.

It's really glaring when we go to anti-war meetings and most of the hair is grey.)

yeah, but i think i know how you look, although i might get you confused with Q or one of the other not squatter members.

anyway, all dutch/flanders socialist (IS, CJB, Offensief) either have long hair or an beard, most of the times both and wear army suplus coats. all dutch/flanders autonomists/squatters are either small blackclothed crusties with piercings and a cap or hooligan types or sommething inbetween.

Adi Shankara I imagined is a mixed race mid-20's male hipster.

Lol, for the record, I have really white pale skin, but have black hair and blue eyes, a little over 6'0, and weigh 210lbs roughly.

and considering TAT's old descriptions of himself, I always pictured him as a white guy with a beard and balding head.

Il Medico is probably wirey, lanky, and mustachioed.

Iseul I'm pretty sure is Chinese, considering how most of his early threads consisted of telling us how superior his people were to western proletariat;

Psycho is probably tall, blond, and blue-eyed since he's Dutch, although that's working off a stereotype admittingly.

Best mod in revleft history is probably short (5'6-5'7?), white, brown haired, and looks like Dexter Holland from the Offspring? lol hrm.

Sam_B is scottish, so it's funny to imagine Brian Griffin speak with a scottish accent, but I imagine he's tall and probably blue eyed as well, maybe poufy light brown hair? def thin though, no facial hair I'd think

Red Anarchist probably looks like your typical british guy, I'm imagining light brown hair, blue eyes possibly, stocky build?

does 1 meter 80 count as tall? i'm slightly below average here but then again whenever i'm in the US i feel quite tall.
i have an collegue who is 2.30 and build like an brickshithouse, thats what i call impresive.

BTW the hair is, if i ever have any, quite dark blond and the eye collor depends on the lighting. in sunlight they are blue but in artificial light they are some greenish grey

[Sasha]

Psycho:Tall guy, dark hair, "fat"(not too many weight etc, but you know the bouncers style, dont know what its called ;)) but probably not just like most bouncers, a lightweight one.Dressing:Black


ai, like i just said to adi, dark blond, average length, for an bouncer absolutly lightweight (if i'm in good physical shape i have trouble staying much above 70 kilo's, now i'm about 80) the black is spot on though, the only thing i agree with henry ford on "every collor is fine, as long as its black"

[F9]

seems i was pretty much correct with lot things:thumbup1:

1.80 its surely not short, you can be called tall, but yeah there are sure more tall people, but from 180-195 i call them tall, above that its very tall :p

To pile on the narcissism, I'm now wondering what people imagine me like. I have seen photos of some people here, never really imagined most people one way or the other except ironically The Doctor.

I've always pictured him, knowing he and I come from the same home state, as a younger version of myself. Skinny, pasty, and refuses to wear shorts or flip flops ever even when 97º outside (because he's anti-everything Florida like I was), but sorta hipsterish as opposed to the sk8 kid getup I used to wear.

woops, yeah sorry, keep forgetting that cyprus is an independent country.
for some reason in the netherlands the word cyprus is only used as an holiday destination. As soon as its about politics (and i read a lot more about politics than i go on sunbathing holidays) they talk about greek-cyprus and turkish-cyprus. dont know exactly why, maybe because we have so much turkish immigrants or sommething.

I mean, I often say "I'm Italian," even though I'm, like, fourth-generation, just because I know people will understand what I mean.

[Devrim]

Im not sure i get that.

The modern Greek state has only existed since around 1830. Previously though there had been people called Greeks, amongst which the Cypriots were included.

Many European countries, but not the UK, have a division between 'citizenship' and 'nationality'. For example in the Czech republic it is possible to have an identity card giving you citizenship as Czech, but your nationality as Slovak.

The Cypriots while not being Greeks in a 'citizenship' sense are Greeks in a 'nationality' sense, which English doesn't really differentiate between. In that way the Cypriots are Greeks.

In Turkish the Cypriots are refered to as 'Kıbrıs Rumları' or 'Kıbrıslı Yunanlılar' (Roman or Greek Cypriots-Roman being an old word for Greek), and you also hear the term 'Greek Cypriot' in English.

Right, but I often get asked if I'm Jewish, Hispanic, or whatever - I actually got Turkish recently - and I say, "No, I'm Italian." I've never been to Italy, but in the U.S. that's just kind of implicit, since the vast majority of people here are recent immigrants, relatively speaking.

[Quail]

When you're called "The Doctor" (in some language or other) and your avatar is David Tenant, it's kind of difficult to not picture you looking like him.

[fa2991]

I just imagine people basically as whatever their avatar is. So, for example, I picture The Vegan Marxist as a giant, talking yellow star who is constantly followed around by a solid red cloud, despite the fact that I've seen his YouTube page and know what he really looks like.

There are about a dozen people on here I picture as Nestor Makhno or Stalin. If someone else had my avatar, I would picture them as Brer Rabbit.

Yes, but it is a very American way of looking at things. I know some Turkish and Kurdish kids in London with parents who were born in Turkey who regularly go to Turkey, but who identify as being English. I would imagine that by the fourth generation they would even know or care where their great-grandparents were from.

I know what you speak of but I always found it silly. (unless they say something like "Italian-American" or whatever)
Especially if you go around telling actual Italians that you are Italian.

It'll be similar to how 2nd+ generations of Puerto Ricans in America are like, but if they show up in PR and say "I'm Puerto Rican" people there will not exactly view them as "one of us." Than again, I'm not viewed as "Puerto Rican" (and sometimes am rejected as foreign by people on the island) but at least I was actually born and raised there.


Mari3l: Shirley Temple

In a way, once, I probably thought the same.


So is Cypriot like Canadian, whereas it's a nationality, not an ethnicity?

That would be the same as in the US, if you put it that way. Except, there's probably is some sort of "Canadian ethnicit(ies)" and maybe even American ethnicit(ies)."

He's 17 as far as I knowYep, although online I have had people tell me that I seem at least University age. For the record, I do wear glasses occasionally to see long distances, and I do wear a lot of white and black. But I'm clean shaven, and my hair is slightly longer than normal.

Wow so young! I thought you were much older. Imet Nic Rossi who posts on here at an ICC meeting in India, and he was young too.

Devrim

[Lyev]

16 year old whiney brats that acts like they know everything but don't know shit.

Which I think, for a gross generalization, is fairly accurate.This is exactly me by the way.

[Pretty Flaco]

I wonder what you all could possibly think of me.

[DaComm]

I wonder what you all could possibly think of me.

Afro. Not a particularly puffy one, but one nonetheless. It fits the green jacket and white undershirt you frequently wear, long blue jeans (that don't go for the skater look), and sports shoes.

[synthesis]

Nothing really. As long as you realise that others find it a bit absurd.

That's OK. I think it's something of an extension of the "nationality vs. citizenship" thing you mentioned; since the U.S. is so fundamentally an immigrant nation, the lines are blurry at best.

[Wanted Man]

this thread is insta-fail since after 7 pages it didnt mention me

Yeah, I got the same feeling until I posted. Maybe we just don't show a lot of human-ish characteristics. :blink: Plus the fact that I don't know anyone on Facebook, don't have Facebook altogether, nor do I want to, nor do I share a lot of personal info with Revleft people.


yeah, but i think i know how you look, although i might get you confused with Q or one of the other not squatter members

Having never met Q, but knowing DR+1 and having seen a picture of Q, they look quite different. :p Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen you once, but that was a pretty long time ago. I also recently met another Dutch person from Revleft; as soon as he said his name and I heard his accent, I knew who he was. We had quite a few drinks together with some other folks before leaving, but I never got around to telling him that we've "known" each other for quite some time. But perhaps he already knew as well, and was in the same position. In any case, it's kind of creepy when you think about it. :blink:


Wanted Man:Normal height, sporty dressing, normal build, basically the fact that you are a fellow footy fan, gives me a specific football fan type the ones i see every day.Allthough thats how i seem to "guess" right now, the stalinist thing, makes me believe i would be "surprised", cause the styles i know bettween the 2 most of the times dont get along.

It's not that far off, although "normal height" in Cyprus might be considered tiny in the Netherlands. I don't look particularly sporty, though. Not really the kind of person to wear sports shirts or tracksuits or something like that. I do like to go to the gym, but I haven't got around to it in ages due to being either too busy or too lazy.

But honestly, I can't imagine anyone being like their Revleft 'persona' in real life, because there's always all kinds of different factors.

[Widerstand]

:lol: He's 17 as far as I know.

Most shocking revelation I've read in a long time.

Also it appears my confusion tactics and advanced camouflage skills are too much for you folks D=

no one likes the new kids :crying:

lol
not even close

[DaComm]

lol
not even close

How do you picture me?

Honestly, I thought I would have been dead-on there, I can't imagine you any other way.

[Widerstand]

New kids?

That's right, I'm talking of myself in plural.

[Weezer]

this reminds me i need more flannel

Flannel accounts for about 50% of my DNA.

[DaComm]

That's right, I'm talking of myself in plural.

Yes, you are very elusive. I guess that you would look like your profile picture, I tend to think that when people have actual humans as avatars.

[9]

I still imagine Wanted Man as the guy with the grey hair and mustache... haha.

[AK]

People attracted to fifteen year olds are not paedophiles.
Calling meow an ephebophile wouldn't have had the same effect.

[AK]

i havent been mentioned either except for when i was talking about someone else. maybe im just that elusive.:lol:

No Vacancy is a troll lying in wait under the three Billy goats' bridge.
Your user title Svinvafell (or something like that) troll somehow reminded me of goats.

Goddamit Sankara you are so fucking stupid.
I honestly shouldn't have laughed so hard when I heard this.

AK is a likeable (sorry, it's true) Aussie anarchist who I still imagine as a duck.
Likable? Friends and everyone else I know irl kinda thinks the opposite :p

[#FF0000]

Best Mod in Revleft History: Rick Astley (the 80's one)

What the fuck why

[Widerstand]

What the fuck why

I agree actually. Not sure why but it seems fitting.

[AK]

I agree actually. Not sure why but it seems fitting.
Now that I think about it, I agree.

[#FF0000]

I hate you guys so much

[Niccolò Rossi]

Wow so young! I thought you were much older. Imet Nic Rossi who posts on here at an ICC meeting in India, and he was young too.

When I met you I thought you would be balder, fatter and more Turkish. Kinda like the head guard on Midnight Express.

Has anyone ever told you you are the spitting image of Forward Union? Its like looking into the future. Haha

I remember Bilan showing me a picture of what he thought I looked like before we met. It was some black and white photo of this Southern Italian looking guy with dark skin, a hook nose and a flat cap.


I still imagine Wanted Man as the guy with the grey hair and mustache... haha.

Seconded.

Nic.

[#FF0000]

This is how I picture Devrim.

http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/attachment.php?attachmentid=149675&stc=1&d=1246594957

[Os Cangaceiros]

Devrim is Kenny Rogers in your mind?

[#FF0000]

Nope

http://johnhbelljr.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/most_interesting_man.jpg

[Os Cangaceiros]

Oh.

So Devrim is the guy from the Dos Equis commercials in your mind?

[#FF0000]

Yes

[Os Cangaceiros]

I imagine Devrim as Nicodemus, from The Secret of NIMH.

Here he is, lecturing some Marxist-Leninist neophyte on how his Leninist party betrayed the working class at some point:

http://www.adammcdaniel.com/TheSecretofNIMHscreen.jpg

[gorillafuck]

Do people imagine me as Patrick Star?

Edit: Woah, now I'm going to have to imagine Devrim as the guy from the Dos Equis commercials since you put the thought in my head.

[Raúl Duke]

Nope

http://johnhbelljr.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/most_interesting_man.jpg

That's a good one

[DaComm]

I hate you guys so much

...Never gunna give you up

[Widerstand]

Do people imagine me as Patrick Star?

With an equal facial expression at least.

[Pretty Flaco]

That's a good one

I imagine you as the Dos Equis guy.


How do you picture me?

Honestly, I thought I would have been dead-on there, I can't imagine you any other way.

What if I told you that I have very straight, shortish hair? Kinda spikey and messy. :rolleyes:

Hm... I can't imagine your ethnicity, or hair, but I do imagine you with glasses and as being tall and thin.

Now that I think about it, I really don't even know your sex, which I assumed as male.

[DaComm]

No glasses, but 6 ft. and rather thin (I'm a runner). Yes, male, and caucasian too.

[gorillafuck]

I imagine UN as looking like a young Elvis Costello.

[DaComm]

I imagine UN as looking like a young Elvis Costello.

I consider you as looking like Don Mclean, but younger.

[DaComm]

Devrim = Rodney Dangerfield

[Pretty Flaco]

I imagine Thomas Sankara as being built similarly to Thomas Sankara, but white, with a buzzcut, and surrounded by alcohol. and crickets. When I think of sankara I always think of crickets.

[gorillafuck]

I consider you as looking like Don Mclean, but younger.
I can live with that being my perceived look.

Is that close to accurate?

[gorillafuck]

Is that close to accurate?
Nah.

[Q]

yeah, but i think i know how you look, although i might get you confused with Q or one of the other not squatter members.

anyway, all dutch/flanders socialist (IS, CJB, Offensief) either have long hair or an beard, most of the times both and wear army suplus coats. all dutch/flanders autonomists/squatters are either small blackclothed crusties with piercings and a cap or hooligan types or sommething inbetween.

We're such cliché's.

[Kuppo Shakur]

What about me guys huh huh what about me.

[9]

Seconded.

Nic.

I don't know why, but I always imagined you to look sort of like this:

until this thread (http://www.revleft.com/vb/showpost.php?p=1862965&postcount=41). and now I'm just sort of disoriented.

Sweet jesus, what did I do to deserve McLovin!? I thought I was supposed to be neon Bordiga.

DaComm thought that Loveschach looked like Rick Astley. When that Rick Roll meme kicked off I got so much shit from my friends. The sad thing is it's actually pretty true, especially now I wear contacts...

Nic.

Eh, I sorta give off that vibe, but I'm really not that into video games.
And despite my recent album picture, I'm really not that into MTG anymore, either.
I'm like a nerd who's not really a nerd.

[coda]

the cc thread wrecked it for me.. (thanks for the buzz kill!) it verified that i was wayyy wrong about everybody! now i don't visualize.. i just read and concentrate on the words---- and the meaning -- so important!!!!! :)

[∞]

wha-about me?

[NecroCommie]

"Imagine all the people... "

[Devrim]

When I met you I thought you would be balder, fatter

Maybe that reflects something I wrote as it is the way I see myself.

Obviously I am not that fat. I still play soccer once a week, and by American standards might even be described as thin. I used to be really athletic though, so it comparative.

The haiir, which for those who put up pictures imaging me as all grey is still 'mostly' dark. It is going bald on top. I remember seeing a video of a family wedding about ten years ago, and asking my brother who the bald guy sitting next to him was, much to great amusement amongst the family. Well you don't see the back of your head that often.


Has anyone ever told you you are the spitting image of Forward Union? Its like looking into the future. Haha

Oh come on. I saw FU once in the street (I didn't stop and say hello). He is a small, blond guy.

[Bilan]

Wow so young! I thought you were much older. Imet Nic Rossi who posts on here at an ICC meeting in India, and he was young too.

Devrim

Rossi is so young! Such a nice boy though.
He didnt look anything like what I expected. I expected Rossi to be like a little militant who worked in a factory, donning a boiler suit and having short, clean hair.

http://www.ephemanar.net/imagestrois/durruti_umbral38.jpg

Like this, but younger.

[Bilan]

I remember Bilan showing me a picture of what he thought I looked like before we met. It was some black and white photo of this Southern Italian looking guy with dark skin, a hook nose and a flat cap.

It makes sense and you know it.

[Bilan]

I imagine Devrim sits in chairs like this:

and looks like

But with shorter hair.

Blonde? Since when? Maybe it's the buzz cut that helps. Either way when I saw you at the aiport for the first time I actually laughed to myself at how similar you looked.


He does, except he is taller.

Oh come on Dev. I said you were less bald and less fat than I thought you would be. What did I do to deserve this?

Nic.

[Niccolò Rossi]

It makes sense and you know it.

Where did you get that picture from anyhow? I want to see it again.

Nic.

[Jazzratt]

Seeing some of these people, for the most part has ruined it for me with some people. However, given the fact that my memory is like a seive, I've forgotten a large portion of the ones I don't see regularly.

The Best Mod in Revleft History: Portly, a little taller than average and clean shaven. Probably wears spectacles.

Il Medico/The Doctor: I told him a while back that I thought he looked like Tom Baker, whilst this isn't strictly true it is the accent I read* all his posts in.

Wanted Man: Even after seeing his photograph I always pictured him as De Baron [a (the?) villian from a dutch tv-program I've never watched] for some reason.

kayl: Short, skinny and short-haired. Probably scowls a lot.

Rosa Liechtenstein: Long white hair, slightly crazy eyes.

psycho: Whilst he's made a number of posts to disabuse people of the notion I still imagine him being a hefty motherfucker.

skinz: At first I thought of him as an average heighted, short-haired, tracksuited young scrote, then he changed his avatar to Johnny Depp as Hunter S. Thompson and that was the image in my mind. Meeting him was, needless to say, a total and utter shock.

Iseul: Severe looking, fit chinese woman. I don't often imagine the kind clothes people wear but for some reason I'm fairly sure she wears white blouses.

NoXion: I know what this reprobate looks like now but before I did I genuinely thought he either looked like or actually was a close friend of mine - mainly thanks to his avatar being the opus mechanicus and his hobby being "stabbing small children in the face".

RED DAVE: Whatever he looks like he looks like that sitting on a rocking chair in front of his house with a shotgun on his knee. He's yelling at the "damn kids" (anyone under 65) again.

Mari3l: Tall, sharply-featured and a little weightier with long blonde hair. This is the description, also, of an old friend of mine that thought she was a werewolf or had a wolf soul or some such nonsense.

AugustWest: The world's gentelest bruiser.

I'm sure I could describe more but these are the ones that jump to mind.

This is exactly how I imagined Devrim.

Nic.

I have no idea. I don't even really remember it. All I remember is that it was dead on.

[nuisance]

Well this is interesting.

[HEAD ICE]

Nobody has mentioned Jacob Richter/Die Neue Zeit yet. Anyways I imagine him as Karl Kautsky, and I am convinced he literally is Karl Kautsky. If not he is an old German guy with glasses with a white mustache whose eyes and eyebrows permanently looks like he just got surprised. He probably has the biggest bookshelf next to Devrim, and it is all full of boring shit.
