‘Scout Face / Profile Picture Trend’ are a series of spreading comments that occur within community websites where users have been uploading profile pictures while commenting for a humorous effect. Some include using the profile picture with a comment that relates to the profile picture while others may comment back using the same image either edited or a different image from the series of the original picture. Eg: Team Fortress 2, My Little Pony, etc.
Origin
The profile picture image trend started mainly on Youtube where during their latest update (written this 26 Jan 2013) the comment section allowed users to view the profile picture of others without having to click on their accounts. This was used firstly to tell from others for what they liked and either ‘trolled’ them for it.
(IMAGE W.I.P)Others decided to comment using the process listed above
The most popular image that is being used today is the ‘Scout Face’. This face originated from the video ‘Heavy and Scout think they are birds’ where the face pops up at the beginning of the video
