When _YOU_ look at _YOUR_ profile picture on the screen, it [FACES] (looks)...
EDIT: you guys are going to give me a stroke - if there is a face in your profile picture, is it facing right or left.. dont think too much about it. dont worry about the eyes. just generally... my profile picture looks to the right, for example. OK COOL
EDIT7: OK, how about this - where does the NOSE / BEAK / SNOUT / ? point to.
EDIT8: I wish I never made this poll.
EDIT9: If you have an ANIMATED avatar, then judge it on the 1st frame.
EDIT10: If there are both a MIRROR REFLECTION as well as a FACE, decide on the direction the FACE is facing, not the reflection.
EDIT11/12: By STRAIGHT AHEAD I mean looking DIRECTLY at you!
EDIT13: im going to sleep now... please consult the comment section if youre unsure what to click. maybe dont click anything? that is allowed.
EDIT14: if your avatar is looking directly AWAY from the camera, that's also straight away.
EDIT15: If there is NO face in your profile picture, then don't click ANYTHING. this applies to hands, flowers, buildings, bikes, feet. If there is, for example, A FACE drawn on a wall, then judge it by the direction that picture of a face is facing.
(stop boosting this, i beg you - i want this to be over.)
@prahou Congrats. You awoke my desire to have a googly-eye following the cursor avatar.
