Unless its your wife or girlfriend, why?
Also, most pro players use anime characters as profile picture which makes sense cause most are nerds, so people will copy that.
How about use profile pic of yourself standing with a nice view, or your own digital design?
using picture of your wife or girlfriend is also kinda pathetic. imagine showing off with such an ordinary thing that you have a pussy in the house. so kiddish
I mean, she might've asked them to. Or perhaps it's just something that makes them happy. Imagine being upset that other people want to show off their partners.
or maybe u love ur gf and you think she is pretty and you dont care about braging and its they way it is. sometimes things are not that deep and people dont care about other peoples opinions, aye? no?
imagine malding bcs of it, i play with no names no pictures and i dont give a fuck about other people, you should try it too. imagine caring if someone has a gf for a profile pic, you are in a wrong spectrum of hate my dude
Users dont put their original pics to ensure anonymity. The whole gaming ecosystem is built that way i.e. using alias. It's like the gaming identity is different from the real world identity
About the other part, I don't know why users put up photos of girls
apparently, it's pfp indeed. I denied it at first too but if you search with "avatar", usually you'll find less results than with "pfp". in CIS, it's avatar(ka) tho still.
