personally i think making a random anime cahracter's design into the Culture War where people on one side or the other are bad is a completely useless thing to do, you can critique the design or artstyle without acting like you've solved being woke or the people who disagree with that critique are literal pedophiles

its all just broken bathroom poo poo. people with literally no power over anything screaming at each other over the most pointless poo poo. none of these people will remember uzaki in six months

100% this.

I mean if the show was pushing some sort of bad politics it'd be a different situation but this is just a big fight over the concept of anime tiddy.

People have been raising a fuss about uzaki forever though not to this degree, might've been when the manga was newer or something though. I've only read it on occasion, don't really follow all that.

I do think the whole thing where people get super up in arms over anime characters comes from the same place where people used to get really upset about anything vaguely sexual in a game; Sure some, maybe even most of it was deserved, but not always.

I think a lot of it is teenagers still feeling out and learning their values just with the unfortunate fact it's on the internet.

Since you can get an endless stream of units and most of the ones you get are garbage anyways, I have fun making the true hero of Archanaea being the brothers Auffle and Lucer.

Not only do people I know IRL see it, sometimes I even grow as a person due to talking to people who have the patience to explain to me what's wrong with how I've been acting.

one person posted there calling everyone who disagrees pedos

'making her look 19' and also the second part being 'fiction affects reality!' ie there is something bad about uzaki that must be corrected

and the third person's tweets are protected so i wont comment on them

There appears to be for the first tweet you posted a 24 or so hour difference between tweets, and that first tweet "blew up" and had a lot of I assume negative responses and you did say imply that being defencive and saying things in that mindset is understandable if there's toxicity being directed at you. So perhaps its possible they are only saying it not because they legitimately believe anyone that likes Uzaki is a pedo, but that more as a response to the people being toxic to them in that time? Not saying its right, but it seems fair to me to say that I don't think its completely accurate to say that the anger was justified.

Even the original tweets are pretty inflammatory/dismissive though. Like you don't have to make critique like you're tossing a live grenade down a hall, even if twitter encourages that kinda behavior. Like I'm not saying that justifies being toxic to them but it's not to get why it immediately turned into arguing and lines in the sand. There's no universe where those people were open to other opinions. When people don't feel like they can be heard, they get mad.

i think this is pretty correct except that i don't think anyone posting on twitter should have to be concerned that their tweet doesnt make random people 'be heard'

like twitter is a public space, obviously, but also people gotta learn to see a bad tweet and keep scrollin

yeah agreed but at the same time when you make a statement thats obviously meant to rile people up, dont go 'ugh cant believe all these riled up chuds' or w/e. like, this is the obvious end result if youve spent five minutes online, ever. idk i just wish people could communicate like human beings anymore

As I said I agree, commentary and critique shouldn't be like kicking open the door and tossing in a flashbang. But they do have the right to open the door even if the original artist don't want it open; which to me was an undercurrent I was most concerned with anyways fwiw as part of my idiosyncratic sacrosanct ideals regarding artistic expression.

Yeah this cuts to a related issue that really disheartens me because in real time I've seen artists, because they draw some nsfw anime art get negative responses because of puritan bullshit end up slowly slide into a gamergate siege mentality and end up adjacent or entirely submerged in that and it breaks my heart.

It's bad enough when following anime artists is sometimes a minefield of abhorrent beliefs because I'd really prefer not to have to freaking vet the people I click the follow button on because they probably as well ended up in that same cycle.

if you just said "here's my uzaki fanart" and drew any of those things you would be fully defensible. and if your artistic expression can't speak for itself then what good was it?

I'm not. I'm not referring to the "original artist of Uzaki", but the "hypothetical artist of an original work who may or may not be alright with someone critiquing their work". Because I am referring to the principle of the ideal that it's alright to redraw someone's work to make corrections as a means of constructive criticism.

To me the fact that this is completely true, suggests to me that any derivative work with intent to correct the original would be fine; and that the only problem was how they communicated it to rile people up.

Yeah, I've seen artists on Twitter chime in with redraws and red lines saying stuff like "great piece, but watch out for (x, y, or z)" or "I wanted to try my spin on your character!" and people generally seem fine with it.

Rolling up unprompted with "her design is boring and she looks like a child" is obviously inflammatory and gonna drive up your engagement numbers.

Unsolicited critique and redraws that aren't fanart aren't beloved tools of the art community and are in fact one of the fastest ways to piss off somebody who's just drawing stuff, I say, divorced of the tedious source of this discussion.

It's cool when somebody who follows you draws something that you can instantly recognize as coming from a place of study from your work though, but thats neither of those.
