You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, “Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life.” If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it.
Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!
:miyazaki-laugh:
To take things even further I think that the objectification, flanderization, comodification and "othering "of female characters in anime has resulted in it almost exclusively catering incels and otaku that see women (and disturbingly, underage girls) as dolls to fetishise.
Which is frustrating because there is good anime out there that isn't like this, but I can't really say I'm an anime fan without people thinking I'm into moe crap or otakus gatekeeping me because I don't like their moe crap.
I just wanna talk about how cool Full Metal Alchemist is...
Its sad that so much time is stolen from us :sadness:
It’s truly the greatest fucking crime of all Capitalist exploitation. The stealing of time in all the ways it does.
George Orwell wrote about it in one of his novels. His conclusion was that if the working class were not kept busy all the time, they might get ideas about how they should be governed and then they would :vote:. Thus they must be kept in misery and poverty so that the good people in society can vacation in Spain.
Probably why the insurrection of 2020 popped off at the exact time it did. The proles had too much time on their hands during the lockdowns and it was an absolute shit show for the ruling class.
The whole thing was done by the FBI, just like the Tsarnev brothers
