AtticTelephone Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Why are there so many pfp's with fish? Is it a reference to something I don't get? Please inform me. @LiT_gam3r It's some sort of picture of a green pixel art fish that people use as a pfp. Edited July 17, 2020 by AtticTelephone 0 Share this post Link to post
Chip Posted July 17, 2020 I'm not sure I understand the question? Can you be more specific, maybe even post a picture? 0 Share this post Link to post
Chip Posted July 17, 2020 Oh! thanks @dmslr. Hey, @AtticTelephone this question was a pretty simple question that was answered in one post. I recommend checking out this topic down here if you ever have a question like that again. You don't have to use it, but it could help. 1 Share this post Link to post

Chow Yun Thin Posted July 17, 2020 OP's description sounds like the Dopefish, an enemy in the Commander Keen games id was known for. They're kind of an Easter egg in videogames from the mid-90s onward. The fish avatars are a quirk of the community as @dmslr has linked to. 2 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted July 17, 2020 DSM made a lot of these fish avatars for people, he made mine. It's a reference to mewse's avatar, I am unaware of the origin of that however. 0 Share this post Link to post

Taw Tu'lki Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) If you played DOOM 2D, you must know that in this game fish are enemies. And when they're together, they will kill you. Oh, these enemies is so difficult. Only rocket launcher can help me. 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted July 17, 2020 For a while in the 2000s, it seemed like a majority of the active posters here were using customized edits of the Goldfish Warning fish. It was the original Doomworld anime avatar invasion in a sense, so stealthy that not even most of the people who had them realized it. Truly devious. 6 Share this post Link to post

DSC Posted July 17, 2020 I'll be completely honest... Until now I had no idea of what Pinkfish was and I just thought those avatars were Dopefish... 0 Share this post Link to post

Easy to use them to lure some frogs and fry them. I love them extra crispy. About the fish pfp, i learn to respect those members that still use it. A way to show the longevity of this amazing forums and the community we are! 0 Share this post Link to post
