This performative poo poo is weird and bad. You should probably actually read what the conversation was about instead of making assumptions and getting mad based on those assumptions.

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.

I think there's a critical aspect to this I don't agree with, if you make an artistic product, whether you make money on it or not and put it out there in a public facing space; it's now out there for people to provide commentary on where you would like it or not. Because all art is social commentary and is informed by the pre-existing social context, which in turn can be criticized; whether on its technical merits or its place in the social context. Sure the more private and insular the space the less reasonable it is to provide such a critique, but in general I don't think movie directors or book authors necessarily like or appreciate critics. If I recall correctly, His Dark Materials was a rewrite of the Lion, the Witch and a Wardrobe as a direct response to the themes in those novels. Rewrites and redraws happen and I think the idea that gatekeeping what constitutes valid criticism doesn't come from a reasonable place.



Please let this be a thing.

Honestly I don't think anyone is coming from a :byodood: "How dare you criticize my opus?!" place, lest of all the actual author (is the author even aware from this noise at all?). I think most of the reaction is akin to "You're kinda being insufferable about it". Also, I'm fairly certain that the actual Uzaki-chan wants to hang out anime thread might use some of the traffic too, if you want to continue this conversation. Jus' saying.

"valid criticism" and "everyone who likes this design (of an adult woman) is a pedophile" are two entirely different things and only one of them is what I've been seeing in the discourse (hint it's not the first one).

I felt that the controversy wasn't ever really about Uzaki-chan, so I was hesitant to start the conversation there, especially when my own concerns was more about the response to the controversy by artists making arguments very similar to, "how dare people criticize someone's opus". To give the direction I'm coming from in regards to it fwiw, but I can drop it if its sucking life from the thread.

To be fair I don't think anyone redrew her anymore white than she already looks since anime character designs tend to be usually stateless.

people should devote this energy to watching older shows

i've just been doing that for the past couple months and i've found lots of shows i never expected to be some of my favorite shows ever, or pretty interesting at the least. strawberry panic, marimite, nanoha, princess tutu, mai-hime, sketchbook, megami tengoku. kashimashi was kinda boring but it's still sorta interesting for how it writes the mc's response to gender stuff

Sadly I've been kinda just in a funk because of my lack of productivity for the last several months, so I've only really stuck to one or two shows a season. But I'm waiting for and super excited for Spider So What.

I've been watching GitS for the first time and it's a pretty cool ride seeing all this ancient CGI which was probably kickin' rad when it was made but now looks like a ps1 cutscene.

Also I'll probably watch Uzaki-chan when it's finished because I'm a sucker for goofy romcom nonsense and

its less that its suckig life from the thread and more that nobody can tell what the hell your point is because getting specifics from you is like pulling teeth. nobody actually disagrees with the idea that criticism is allowed and you're bitching about people who don't post here in such a vague way that nobody can tell what you mean besides that. it's like talking to an ai chatbot. nobody has anything to be gained from this conversation.

between the two 2000s shaft anime i've watched/been watching i think natsu no arashi has interesting moments and ideas but pani poni dash holds up a lot better, natsu's too scattershot and doesn't always make its serious drama as interesting as it could be while pani poni dash is one of the best gag comedy anime i've ever watched. really endearing cast and the animation and visual gags are so fun to watch that even when they don't make me laugh i just enjoy looking at it

I'm not being hostile, I'm telling you I literally do not understand what you're trying to say or what point you're driving at. That isn't an insult that is literally what I am experiencing.

Like, literally nobody has disagreed with the idea that you're allowed to criticize art by putting your own spin on it and you just keep repeating that same point in different ways even though nobody is disagreeing with you. And you linked the Uzaki thing and people pointed out why that led to a big argument besides just it being criticism, and then you said the conversation wasn't about Uzaki, so we're just back to a point that nobody here disagrees with.

Gourmet Girl Graffiti is a show I needed to watch while eating something already because the food animation was causing me to devolve into "AGH gently caress, I'M SO HUNGRY RIGHT NOW!".

So yeah, watch it if you like feeling hungry or while eating something.

The chain of posts by you from when I first posted until now has been mostly did not suggest to me that you merely didn't understand what I was trying to say and were asking to better understand my point, so if that wasn't your intent I apologize, and I'll restart my original point which I hope should be clear:

quote:

I'm suddenly seeing a lot of hot takes on my twitter feed by artists who I think should really know better suggesting that it's improper for other artists to redraw their art (added: in order to critique it).

Like that's it, artists on my feed, making that exact argument that I've seen across my feed, and I disagree with that position.

e: In the case of Uzaki-chan that critique might be wrong / missing the point of the character / might be under bad faith or bad intentioned but the response if given at all, should be focused on what makes that critique bad, and not as a part of a culture war.
