As you all should know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and if there's one thing anti-social nerds love, it's boobs. So I propose that for the month, we all rock pink avatars, to raise awareness. Just go about you normal business, but pinker.




I'll happily pink-ify anyone's avatar who is brave enough, and doesn't have access to Photoshop.

Sounds good. I will get a pinky avatar ready.

Also are you proposing that we have avatars with pink and boobs in them or just pink?

I think just pink will work well. I mean, its November next month which is for prostrate cancer. Imagine the avatars then if we included the area of interest in them [shudder]

We have pics of boobs for a month?

Boobs, pink, pink boobs, it's all good, so long as its still PG-13 and SFW.

This good enough?

I think this will have to do. I don;t think I could judge whether something is SFW/pg-13.

Ill go with this to keep it in good taste

Awesome guys!

Alright.

Desicion.

The first: (Which i deited in paint)



Or the 2nd?:



currently rocking out the second.

Broken pics mate.

I'm sorry, but how does everyone turning their avatars pink raise awareness for breast cancer?

This good?

Because pink is the colour for the charity?

Yes, but then what? Pink avatars? Surely raising awareness would be posting information about the cause and other information, not just changing the avatars. Call me harsh, but I choose not to partake in this.

I'm just sort of wondering how many people who are capable of using the internet are not aware of the existence of breast cancer.

It helps because Jimmy Firepants will be all "what's with the pink avatars, d00ds?" and we'll be like, "This thread explains it: <link to this here thread>" and then I or someone else will be like, "tell you mom or missus to get a mammogram, amirite?"

And even if there isn't much awareness to be raised,it's the same as participating in Memorial Day, or 9/11 remeberances. Lots of people have died to breast cancer, a lot of people currently are.

Hmm I guess that works.

And we all wanna make sure that there are healthy boobs arround.

Yay/Nei?

Ok, i'm gonna have to steal that first one, if thats allright by you.

<<<< Tadah!

JHDD doesn't really need to change his avatar at all.

Ah, what the hell, this actually made me get an avatar in the first place, as random as it might be. Good thread!

Anything for the boobs!

Hey Endova, if you'll pink up my avatar I'll rock it for the month. I'm clueless with that stuff.

I'll change mine when my three day weekend is over.

My computer crashed one too many times and now I don't have GIMP

My one was too hard to edit in paint as I lost the original so was really just editing what I uploaded here. So I had to make a new avatar for this

Well, I'll bite. Could someone pinkify my avatar please?

May I say you've got a good taste in avatars?

Might not look effective, but I may join this.

Pink'd.

Breast Cancer'll really make 'em cry.

I'm stuck...





or

I shall join this, with my humble (read - weak) paint skills.. white hair to pink.


edit - oh and Pink tank ftw, well imo Drk.

What are we going to do if they ever bother making a prostate/testicular cancer month?

I would like to give Bob Ross a fuzzy pink afro but my GIMP skills seem to have deserted me (actually they were never there to begin with). Can someone oblige and I will go pink with pride!

SilverMK2 wrote:What are we going to do if they ever bother making a prostate/testicular cancer month?

This.

Breast Cancer Awareness is good and all, but the hypocrisy of it all really does annoy me sometimes.

Also, 20 seconds in GIMP, sorry if it looks crap.

I think I still have a few Kirby Avatars on my hard drive. Give me a minute.

Cheers Gwar, that will do the trick!

All hail evil mutant Alien Kirby in the name of Breat Cancer Awareness!

Gwar! wrote:Breast Cancer Awareness is good and all, but the hypocrisy of it all really does annoy me sometimes.

The race for life really annoys me - men can't possibly be affected by breast cancer (either directly or through a family member). Even if they had a seperate race after the women run/jog/walk for the men that would be great (and raise loads more money to combat cancer).

And of course the whole "this is just for breast cancer" aspect of many anti-cancer fund raisers. Boobs have had their time in the sun (metaphorically speaking), time for the men to get their shot at some awareness (although generally speaking testicular cancer is relatively easy to treat, with high success rates it is as devestating, possibly more so, to a mans wellbeing and sense of self as breast cancer can be to a womans). Prostate cancer is also not a great killer, it can still affect many men (30% of men in their 50's and 80% of men in their 70's*).

Edit: Not that I am trying to win some kind of "cancer off" or anything. Cancer of any form and affecting males or females is a serious and life altering condition and we should work to try and eliminate it in any way we can.

Pinkify me Captain!

I think I'm pink enough as it is - though I could always get more boobs in the frame...

I would also like some pinkage, if someone could do the honours. I find that typing nonsense on these forums is the limit of my technical abilities.

I cant find my avatar pic so im going to tint my signature pink over the week.

I'll see if i can find a pink character in my library of Fan Art. Or a sister of battle.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Actually there's this thing that happens here, not sure if it happens elsewhere (probably does), called Movember. So we just put mustaches onto our avatars or something.

Heh, thanks for both the pic and complement: it helps with my Only Imperial Women avatar pledge.

Here ya go Dakka. Its a unicorn.

Is my avatar pink enough?

You leave it the way it is, Milkdog!

Monster Rain wrote:You leave it the way it is, Milkdog!

Thanks, Monster Pain.

Not sure if I should get mine pinkified. Pink is... unfitting for a devotee of Khorne.

That said, I wouldn't mind if someone would made it a lightish red.

Yikes. I have to say, pink is not Gary Oldmans color

Never been much for avatars, but here's mine

If you can't read it, it says:
Don't let Breast Cancer Steal Second Base.

In the 24th century Breast cancer has long since been eradicated.

Sorry, Pumpkins are not pink.

Yet some Breasts are pumpkin sized.

Coincidense?

It's still a while, but I guess I could kick off the thread for it when November starts assuming Endova doesn't want to.

Thenk pinkify away. We have a family friend going through treatment for such now.

The pig got done pinked. Thanks Luna and ChrisCP

Gosh, I feel weird with an avatar like this

Suddenly Dakka is a much prettier place.

Futuristic space chicks must be chubby chasers, then. Kirk got more action than an eraser at a crossword puzzle tournament for the dyslexic.

Edit: Oh, and on topic. Save the ta-ta's.

Damn! I forgot to do my Halloween avatar!

Could someone give my Praetorian melta-gunner the pink treatment? Maybe a pink helmet or something?

A family friend went through cancer treatment and thankfully is doing quite well almost a decade later so I am always happy to support cancer awareness causes.

Hah. I guess, if I remember it. If I don;t, I hope someone else starts it off. I'll help with adding mustaches though.

I haven't known a lady with cancer of the infant food dispensers, but I do support it. The fighting of it, not the disease. Obviously.

Just noticed this thread.

Being that my aunt died of breast cancer, and the fact that the good cause this time around is "save the tits", I'm going pink too.

I know this topic has gone back a few pages, but I just want to point out that men can get breast cancer, as we still have underdeveloped breasts left over from when we were in the womb. It is extremely rare, but when men get it it becomes serious fast.

I'm not sure if you were replying having got my comment or not, however, I am glad that someone has posted regards the seriousness of male breast cancer - many people do not even realise it is possible to contract it.

I didn't. Wow.
