November 25th, 2008 9:37 amThese are cute, but yes.. they all seem fat, and none of them have sleeves.

November 25th, 2008 9:50 amWow, these are some really depressing responses. I had thought Smashing Magazine readers had more class than the average moron but apparently not.

- 18
November 25th, 2008 10:24 amPretty true that there are not a lot of girl avatars. I like them tho
- 19
November 25th, 2008 10:47 amThis is the first time I see something i don’t like on smashing magazine.
- 20
November 25th, 2008 10:49 amThese are totally useless, by the way.
How do these “Smash me with the information that makes my life easier, REALLY?”
- 21
November 25th, 2008 10:56 amWow. So Helpful!
- 22
November 25th, 2008 10:58 amThis is the most useless post in the history of the world.
- 23
November 25th, 2008 11:03 amThis is total crap. Why bother coming here? Either we get a gallery of images we could find on Flickr or we get some useless icons.
Way to go smashing.

- 28
November 25th, 2008 12:02 pmWhy must they all be wearing spaghetti straps or similarly revealing attire?
- 29
November 25th, 2008 12:38 pmi’m not really enrapt by the old “faceless” style. but the idea is nice.
would enybody here deny that half of (western) people are fat or even obese?
and who doesn’t agree that this fact deserves or at least bears some kind of other culture than usual fleshles pictures of unreal people?well, just my humble opinion :)

November 25th, 2008 1:06 pmLame.
- 31
November 25th, 2008 1:54 pmumm……… y fat?
- 32
November 25th, 2008 2:52 pmI think I gained 20 pounds just reading this post….har har har
- 33
November 25th, 2008 4:54 pmHahaha, I love that they depict most of the western world’s body size. Maybe it was intended, maybe it was not. But still some nice icons there.
- 34
November 25th, 2008 6:27 pmVery nicely done. Thanks
- 35
November 26th, 2008 12:43 amSTEREOTYPES!!! So sad to see those comments transcend even into icons – mere digital work. Like being FAT/LARGE is a disease. SHAME!!! :(
- 36
November 26th, 2008 12:45 amslim fast and the furious? ;)
thanks SM - 37
November 26th, 2008 3:08 amWell I agree these girl avatars look a bit chubby but don’t most girls/women look like this? Nothing wrong with it. If you want rail thin girls go to youpron or so.
- 38
November 26th, 2008 3:21 amRemember, big girls need love too. And thank you, finally something different! Great work!

- 47
November 29th, 2008 1:44 pmAh thanks going to use them on our girly site fabulously40 ;-)
- 48
December 5th, 2008 8:03 amThen again, you folks could just look at your normal MSN/what-not avatar that comes out the box, and see the light. The girlie avatars are the basic avatar, donned with girly hair and clothes.
*sigh*
Thanks for your enlightening comments though, folks. Nice to know the commenters have no recollection of the history of common visual elements of our current “Internet” experience.
