A look at some of PSN's worst avatars
So, I was browsing the Playstation Store looking at avatars, and wow... there are some really bad ones. So lets have a look shall we?
1. Beautiful Woman And Space Avatar
So this is a thing... No idea why space and a woman have anything in common. Not really sure what to say with this one. It's just really dumb and objectifies women.
2. GIRL GAMER ON PATROL AVATAR
Sadly, this avatar is just a giant sign pointing at the user saying "harrass me."
Other than that... it still has a pretty bad design.
- Has nothing to do with "cyberpunk"
- Objectifies women
4. ALL OF THESE "GAMER" AVATARS
There isn't really anything overtly wrong with them
They're just really... dumb.
"Ha ha ha I'm objectifying women! It's so funny and totally pertains to my gamer lifestyle!"
Do I need to even explain why this one is bad?
EVERYONE I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT I AM STRAIGHT! I LIKE BOOBIES AND VAGINAS!!!! EVERYONE HAS TO KNOW WHAT MY PEEN LIKES!
There's a lot more, like the countless profile pictures of little anime girls, or all of the edgy af hacker profile pictures... but these ones are some of the worst I saw.




Hmm, I’m not so sure about the first and third. They are stereotypically beautiful women, but the images per se don’t seem dehumanizing. I do consider it objectifying to use women to sell things, but there may be a superabundance of male equivalents. That said, I’d very much like to see opposing viewpoints.
The rest of the avatars look tacky as fuck.
