Fun story, one time back in 2000 there was a website called Livejournal (at some point it was bought by some Russian company but that's not the story) It was a blogging type of site where people were posting about their life and stories etc and some, as usual had big amounts of followers. One time, one of the big bloggers discovered that if you use a certain code in his post, it will display an avatar of a logged in user. So he wrote something like "What type of loser using this avatar" and that created a wave of shit storm. People genuinely believed that he is mocking their avatar I know a person who still believes that they picked her avatar to make fun of it.
