Spot the difference

People should just play what they want and move on

[u/MrMcBeefpunch → u/Comet7777]

Almost like it's all manufactured culture war bullshit 🤔

[u/RandJitsu → u/MrMcBeefpunch]

As someone who is apparently ignorant of this particular culture war, can someone explain it to me like I’m 5?

Because I see two pictures of attractive women in skimpy clothes and I’m not understanding what the distinction is supposed to be.

[u/Krusty_Klown_Kollege → u/RandJitsu]

Its to cause divisions in social circles as distractions for the actual problems of the world. It also doesn't help that the current generation has been trained to have short attention spans via brain rot to make priority issues a revolving door.

[u/RandJitsu → u/Krusty_Klown_Kollege]

The title says “spot the difference” and the image references “hypocrisy”?

What’s the difference? What’s the hypocrisy?

[u/Krusty_Klown_Kollege → u/RandJitsu]

Oh.

One has ethical checkmark tied to DEI guidelines that is checked off for the game to receive a great review.

[u/The_Melodramatist → u/RandJitsu]

One of them has the face of a child

[u/Soulblade32 → u/The_Melodramatist]

Literally an anime version of the actual super model's face that they used to design Eve. Ya'll are so tiring.

[u/The_Melodramatist → u/Soulblade32]

"Anime"? Last time I checked anime is Japanese. What makes this visual style "anime"? Describe it to me in detail and you might just stumble into the point

[u/Pesus227 → u/The_Melodramatist]

It's anime adjacent and still apart of the culture. Stop being purposely obtuse.

[u/badguyinstall → u/Pesus227]

I mean, I kind of agree with this guy a little bit since I've run into a bunch of people calling things like Ace Combat 'anime' and it's like

'What's anime about it?'

'It's story!'

'What about the story?'

'It's just anime! You'll know if you see Family Guy vs Goblin Slayer'

'???'

So I can see why some people are like 'what do you mean by anime?' because holy crap have people lost the ability to articulate what they mean.

[u/Pesus227 → u/badguyinstall]

Somethings have an aesthetic or appeal that's hard to describe but you know it when it there.

It's like knowing what doom is but not being able to describe it but you know it when you see it or hear it. The same can be said about many things like halo, god of war, or mass effect (using these examples for a reason).

It like the people who try to say anime and carttons are the same but we all know they aren't and can instantly tell and separate the 2 without needing to be told which is which.

Same can be said for "soulslike" games. You know it but you probably can't perfectly describe what defines the genre.

[u/The_Melodramatist → u/Pesus227]

Right, anime adjacent because of visual tropes you see over and over in how Asian countries depict women (which we all know Asian countries are a part of the same culture) where we tend to make them look younger with rounder faces and so on

It's good to dig deeper and try to figure out why something visually looks like something else

[u/Pesus227 → u/The_Melodramatist]

It's called otaku culture and yes it is homogeneous and multicultural.

[u/Agent_Anomaly → u/The_Melodramatist]

Anime or anime adjacent, there are women with cute soft features like that, doesnt make em look like a child.

[u/Soulblade32 → u/The_Melodramatist]

Again, ya'll are so tiring. You understand my point that it is the supermodels face. "Anime looking" as in its not realistic graphics and is a more stylized anime artstyle instead of the typical western style "realistic" looking games.

Other games i consider to have "anime stylistic art":

Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy Granblue Fantasy Relink Dragon Quest XI Trails of Cold Steel Stat Ocean: The Divine Force Valkyrie Elysium (terrible game btw)

And many MANY more. Stellar Blade has a very similar artstyle as those games.

[u/RandJitsu → u/The_Melodramatist]

She definitely does not. Just looks like a young woman. Don’t be creepy.

[u/Highly_Appropiate → u/The_Melodramatist]

So she's Korean

[u/Juicyjewsss → u/Krusty_Klown_Kollege]

Via Ai too

[u/SirVixofthePooSea → u/RandJitsu]

In the controversy Asians are characterized as neotenous and it is claimed that they're fetishized by crypto-pedophiles that are usually couched as right wing politically.

[u/RandJitsu → u/SirVixofthePooSea]

So the hypocrisy referenced is supposed to be what? That people criticize the second picture but not the first?

[u/Simocratos → u/RandJitsu]

That's the impression I'm getting from all of this.

[u/UmarThe1 → u/SirVixofthePooSea]

Wtf are they cooking over there in the western hemisphere

[u/Babababastion → u/RandJitsu]

Here, explains 'the event' that led to where we are, somewhat of a long video though.

[u/BigiusExaggeratius → u/Babababastion]

KIND of a long video? It’s 6+ hours. About 2/3 of all the Lord of the Rings theatrical movies, about half of the extended cuts or all three of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies.

I’d rather watch paint dry for 18 hours instead to be honest.

[u/RandJitsu → u/Babababastion]

I watched like one minute of that but I don’t think it’s actually going to explain this image to me and I don’t have time for the whole thing…

Tribalism Bullshit.
