Is BTAS anime? Is GI Joe anime?

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Manga might be a pedantic technical loophole around the stigma, for some reason video game avatars get a pass.

As an Anime PFP Professional:

No, it does not.

 

[anliteralidiot]

yes if it's Suki

 

[سلیمان عثمان]

I would call it a counterfeit anime PFP.
Arguably even worse.

 

[SentinentCloud]

anything drawn that is also animated can be considered anime pfp
