>ugly is pretty subjective
True, but this seems more like a case of this friend pretty much knowing what his surrounding's aesthetic preferences are and intentionally doing the opposite, rather than just accidentally or through a lack of proficiency making something ugly, like what >>379665598's work sounds like, which I would find to be less of problem.
I don't know who >>379655478 is talking about, though, so I can't know that.

>some of the coolest people I have met in vrchat use or even make avatars that are absolute abominations.
I believe that.
And some of the worst people I've met use or even make avatars that are absolute abominations.

It's not about being annoyed or not, I feel very indifferent when seeing an ugly avatar. It's also just one of many signals I consider, and I don't even consider this one much, it's just the one we are talking about right now, so I hyperbolized in the closing statement.

But I wouldn't call ruthlessness and pessimism "simple things", if you mean that by "this". You may call the signal of using an ugly avatar a "simple thing", especially if you don't believe that those traits aren't being signalled at all by going out of one's way to make this a worse experience to others for selfish reasons. 
And if you believe that one signal should just be part of a bigger process, which I'd agree with.

By the way, the person's friend, I am guessing, chooses to interact with people who interact with them even with an intentionally ugly avatar because it signals to him that they are nice people because they can see a nice person behind an ugly facade. Because they are tolerant of the visual assault to spend time with them.

It's literally the first time I've written about this. Never assume you know who posts something on 4chan.
Because I don't know who your imagined interlocutor is, I have to ask, what exactly do you find disgusting about what exact opinion?
