Similar to facebook activism, the belief that no-commitment activities will result in meaningful social change. This meme results from the belief that awareness is all that is necessary to improve society, rather than actually donating money or time.
Real examples of avatar activism:
I changed my Twitter avatar to green to support Iranis!
I blacked out my avatar to support awareness of Australia's Black Saturday!

You watch so much Avatar: The Last Airbender that you start to believe that it's possible to move water, earth, fire and air without making physical contact. You get extremely depressed when you realize that it's JUST. NOT. POSSIBLE...
I watched so much Avatar that I decided to try and do a water whip with all of the condensation on the window. It didn't work. I have Avatar Envy.

- Tom how on earth could you walk into the ladies' room wearing a bandana of condoms and a dirty sock on your private parts?
- Dude, wasn't me - it was my avatar!
some other time:
- Who's that pig with a belly the size of a rucksack? You, Tom, perhaps?
- No, not me. It's my avatar.

A act wherein the graphical avatar of any forum user is involuntarily changed (generally by a forum moderator) to an image which is embarrassing or inappropriate. The phrase is descended from "tarring and feathering," a mob-administered vigilante punishment common in the American frontier era, wherein the victim was covered with hot tar onto which bird feathers were then pressed.
Avatarring and Feathering is considered to be a tongue-in-cheek punishment, as it is not significantly destructive to the user's online experience (in contrast with banning / kicking.) As such, it is levied upon extremely minor offenders, or even as an in-joke for some specific contextual purpose within a thread.
The application of Avatarring and Feathering serves a purpose more similar to that of the dunce cap or the scarlet letter in earlier times. By comparison, the real-world punishment of tarring and feathering often caused moderate-to-severe injuries to the victim as the hot (sometimes boiling) tar was poured onto the skin.
The first known utterance of the phrase occurred on 5 May, 2013, when a user, posting on a sportscar-related web forum, had his avatar changed from that of an automobile on fire to one of a stylized pink pony character from the popular television show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." This was done after he employed the word Brony in an apparently serious context while responding to another user, whom he suspected of trolling.
Examples:
"Can we please avatar and feather ^that guy^?"
"Great, I've been avatared and feathered. Can a mod please change my avatar back to something OTHER than a pink pony now?"
