If I call you and get an avatar, I will assume you're an absolute phoney. A rich phoney, but still a phoney.

It's like calling and getting a "virtual background" - to me it says you're ashamed of where you are.

Calling people “rich phonies” and also “if you have a virtual background I assume you’re ashamed of where you are”

Now that is an insufferable combo if I’ve ever seen one.
