We have all seen those LGMs and GMs who have anime waifu pictures, and a few that even worship them a bit too far (Sexpert). All this shows are the regular stereotypes associated with anime enjoyers such as these users don't step outside their house, probably shower once every full moon and have had 0 female interaction these last few years. But there has to be a more statistical reason behind this decision to mark oneself as a social outcast. After many months of research (yes I haven't made a single blog in months for this reason) and multiple theories, I can prove that using an anime waifu profile picture will improve your rating, your cp skills and your mentality on code. Here's why.
Let us first examine the rating graphs of users with anime waifu profile pictures compared to those without. To start off, we have none other than our Sexpert. Compare his rating graph with another unnamed user around the same rating without an anime icon and we can see that Ari has been steadily gaining rating without loosing much, while the other has been fighting a long battle to reach this point. To those who say that my evidence is bs because I am cherry-picking a specific case, well you aren't wrong.

Non anime waifu pfp user's graph — although his pfp is quite nice
Now that my indisputable evidence that anime pfp's increase your rating more has been shared, I want to talk about the theories about why this is the case.
The waifu believes in you theory This theory states that since you have a waifu profile icon, every time you open the site or take part in a contest, you always see your own icon. You lock eyes with your waifu as she tells you that she believes in you and that you can get to cm this contest. Not wanting to let her down, you try your hardest and unlock potential that you never knew you had, easily getting to LGM in a single contest. This motivation is what keeps you going and makes you soar past your original goals.
The outcast theory The outcast theory states that since you mark ourself as a social outcast with the anime profile picture, you are motivated to do better in contests to prove to others that you are actually good at life. Its a simple spell to do better since you are stuck in this negative cycle of wanting to prove to others you aren't a failure.
With these explanations of the anime phenomenon, I wish to present one last shred of evidence — myself.
Look at my graph. Back when I started cf and I had my rating boost, my rating graph resembled a downwards opening parabola, and when I tried to revive my rating in April, it just sunk even more, resembling the elephant in the snake illustration from The Little Prince book. But now, a few months later, I changed my profile picture to an animated waifu from Genshin impact, you can see that my rating grew upwards with an almost vertical lift.

Rating increase because of anime profile picture
This concludes my blog as to why anime waifus make you perform better in contests. Remember that your waifu always loves you! This blog has been written for comedic purposes no I am not this down bad irl. Also gyrating cat cult has been abolished since we got collectively 1.5k downvotes on a blog however gyrating cats counted as anime girls
You forgot to mention the color strategy to rating gain. The main evidence of this is oursaco maintaining pupil for a year since he used a green pfp (he changed it now).
yes dutin, jli505, oursaco and jchen05 demonstrate this advanced strategy of increasing ones rating even more by setting an anime profile icon the color of the rank that they want. This strategy is however extremely hard and only a few should attempt it.
I am currently attempting this strategy. If I do not reach master again in the next few months then I will consider it disproven.
orz
but since you already reached master before isn't this test biased ?
same for me..
how is it going
I see Emilia-tan profile picture, I upvote.
i see red i upvote
a fellow man of culture :D
agree
confirmed with my goku waifu
Mans just ghost pinged me in codeforces.
OFZ
weeb
To maximize the effect of anime profile pictures, one should also change their handle to honor said waifu :3
Can't agree more
NGNL is 1 of the only 2 animes I have watched and it's straight fire
since I have changed my pfp to peterstewlois my rating is decreasing maybe I should change it back to anime girl or maybe I am peter griffin
rotavirus enters the chat ...
we can now only dream :pensive:
Also use original anime profile icons. Don't steal from anyone already on the site.
Hey, I understand that you want to make a point, but don't you think tagging is unnecessary?
Why did you tag Sexpert two times in your post?
because why not? Ari will more than likely support this point.
you didnt get the joke
I know the joke, but I forgot. Maybe God will forgive me if I watch more anime?
he supports
I believe and support this theory
damn he really showed up
Ari friend me if you really support it fr
sure
yoo
I think having geometric shapes in profile picture increases contribution. Prove me wrong.
Monogon
Let's prove him right instead.
lmao
I've changed mine to anime profile pic after this. I've been a newbie for months now. I got so frustrated that I completely left that account and created a new one. We'll see if it works this time and if it somehow works, then I'll consider you as my 'bosom buddy' (just searched for this word on the internet). Hail sus. (Idk how to tag people in the comment section)
It worked for me. Trust me.
Thank you for the photo, the profile picture has been changed, wait for the score
you are very welcome
trueing
Downward opening parabola resembling a depression
I need waifu picture please give
I changed my pp, your theory has to be correct. I hope I won't drop too much in the next round lol
hold up... what did you say you changed?
there are no accidents... -master oogway
I meant profile picture xD
newbies : we will try it
Sauce?
Nice! Anime!
Well , Anime is nice BUT I'm going to stick with Captain Haddock :)
I wonder when I'll be as tall as my big sister
I will try this strategy
.
Do I really need to read this whole article? It's been trending for two days
yes
good content
I didnt believe in heresy that but for some reasons this only thing right.My alt account with a girl picture reach CM super fast and my main account still getting stuck at expert =))
Understood, will add anime profile picture now
and u're still gray LOL
Reached pupil twice and lost it due to an unlucky round. Maybe check me profile before commenting thanks.
Especially when you have a genius prodigy waifu.
Oh, see what you've done to me! I feel powered >U<.
Christina
There's no "Tina". :p
There is if you watch the dub
You didn't get it bruh.
She used to say "There's no tina" or "Tina ja naiii" to Okabe because she didn't like being called "Christina" which actually is "Kurisu-tina" (as pronounced in the show).
Well there are numerous other names given to her in the show.
Ah, sorry. Seems I've forgotten. I watched it in 2014 I think. I should rewatch it, I remember it being a 10/10 anime.
Yes, it is!
Keep tissue papers with you while rewatching :).
You should play the visual novel if you haven't already done so, it's the original source and contains ~30h of excellent content (ping Lord_David)
I don't really like visual novels in general, but maybe.
Yes, I am playing the vn.
Though I had to pause playing it for a few days, but I'm determined to finish it :).
Then over to mangas and light novels (canon).
wow, new theory you just came up with
This theory is based on months of scientific research and facts. Obviously 100% correct
Man I love this community <3
me too
Logic left the room.
Logic
Great to see those anime pictures.Those are inspirational for me.
Baby Elephant shaped graph was a solid argument. No counter.
when I see the word "sus" all I can think of is Sus scrofa (wild boar).
did you create your account and delibrately control your rating just to write this post lmao
guess
Plot Twist: Not just blog but also many accounts here are all his alts
But why do (most of the times) boys put anime girls and girls put anime boys as their pfp??
seems to have a point... i got it
Can confirm, it worked for me!
Totally true!!!
man of culture
didn't work for me!
worked for me!
I think we need to vote best waifu but it wouldn't proper on CF blog maybe

Oh blimey! What an surprising blog that i have ever seen ya

What if you're a girl? You definitely don't want a waifu maybe a husbandu?
I mean, who told you a girl can't have her waifu?
I never said that but I am talking about the majority
i've put my trust in you
