There is great power in anonymity. A lot of people of influence label it as “weak” because it removes so many attack vectors. All you can judge are thoughts and actions.

I am biased but I think a pure color pfp adds even further to “All you can judge are thoughts and actions.”

There are certain assumptions that come with having a cartoon animal pfp or an anime pfp or whatever and because the pfp is so prominent people overindex on it.

A simple color carries no assumptions.

Yes, certainly closer than your old cartoon Elon pfp. The Opepen is basically just a color with eyes. But those eyes do project a bit of an emotion. And that emotion acts like a filter on top of everything you cast/tweet. But it’s sort of like a “bored” emotion. So that works well for you.

True. I think I've gotten very close to that with an Opepen, with a touch of personality.
