| When people use eyes as avatar they spook me cannot really look at them without a feeling of pulling away. |

for a while i was playing with the thought of posting here some nice large picture of an eye, just for fun. i had even found one but then reconsidered the idea. got scared of how cruel i could be.

It depends on the eye for me. I prefer a nice warm looking one (like its attached to a smiling face) than a wide open angry one that looks like its shooting eye daggers at me.
Cosmetically Photoshopped colourful eye = nice 
Closeup of eye showing pink bits, veins and too much white of eye = ARRGGHH!!!

there are some avatars which are making me very inconfortable to watch.
I have addblock, i should just clik on it then.. But i recognise people by their avatar...

Usually I wouldn't mind that unless the eyes appear to be way too creepy. And besides you don't have to look at the avatar if you don't want to

I have to admit the one eye changing color avatar doesn't bother me because I know it 's a picture, two dimensional, not real. This is going to sound weird but I used to get freaked out whenever I watched a video of my favorite musical artist on television and he looked into the camera and it was same as looking right at me. I used to not be able to handle that. I know that sounds very weird and at the time I thought it was unusual and I was the only one that felt so creeped out just because someone on television looked at me. Nowadays I no longer have that problem and television people do not make me feel anxious.
As for the one eye changing color avatar, we should have a contest and try to guess what the next color will be...sounds like fun. |

I agree, particularly the sci fi or 'witchy' animated drawing type stuff. Whole scary faces or frighrening body postures are spooky for me. Or those in bad / offensive taste, body parts, excrement .
I actually do not mind 'the eyes' ones.
