OT - Is Taters Avatar Genius?

[Honza]

I've been thinking about Tate's Avatar for ages. Its a very simple little thing - a plastic toy of a 'baby' Darth Vader looking meekly upwards.
There's the catch! Vader is small, baby looking, and sort of sweetly looking UP at you. Its the complete opposite of the real Vader in the films who was huge, menacing and usually crushed people beneath him.
Its a clever little avatar Tate has got; can the Dark Side be sweet & humble like this picture shows Vader to be?
And does this Avatar tell us anything about the man Tate?

Your avatar is a clever little puzzle Tate! I like it.

For those without a little daughter in your life (mine has just turned 10) that would be a Darth Vadar Hello Kitty theme...talk about CONFUSED!

MY AVATAR is genius.

Tater's avatar is a transparently narcissistic manifestation of childishness that belies his sociopathic cruelty and sadism.

Have a nice day.

MY AVATAR is genius.

I beg to differ Your avatar is a proctologist's nightmare - an inflammed sphincter ejecting yellow matter.

Makes me queasy each time I see it
