Decided to do the legwork. Turns out there are 6ish default avatars that Reddit randomly selects for you upon account creation. So this avatar, along with the other ones, signifies one of three things:
- Too lazy to change avatar
- Exclusively uses old Reddit and doesn't even know avatars exist
- Bot
I think the third option is the most common, hence my earlier comment about bad opinions. I see them a lot in engagement bait and propaganda threads.

This post hits many of the redditor greatest hits: Disney adult, deciding to fly across the country and go to didneyworl despite throwing up blood, bringing up her poonerity out of the blue so she could talk about being oppressed by Florida (which she, again, risked her life to fly to voluntarily), in incredibly bad shape.
But I think my favorite thing about this post was unintentional. You see, there's a genre of post on reddit where a woman says her doctors ignored her
malingering totally real EDS/fibromyalgia/etc. and then a bunch of radfems pile in to jerk each other off over how much doctors HATE WOMEN. Only they couldn't do that this time, because in this case the ovarian cysts are on a male man's super masculine ovaries, dood! As a result, there are very few comments for how many uptokes this post got, and they're all very generic. It's some incredibly dry, subtle humor, but damn if it isn't still hilarious.
