I learned how to do rotoscoping and it ruined the Love is War ending credits for me Actually they do a fair amount of rotoscoping in that show, especially when you see someone's hands

Drawing became a lot less magic and made a lot more sense when I realized it's partly learning techniques to do different things instead of just weaving it out of thin air. Still can't draw though.

The overall point is that the chase for profit tends to push fiction towards similar tropes. You can rationalize how these overdone tropes I like are good while the ones I don’t are bad but that misses the point It doesn’t actually apply to anime but that’s because anime is a catch all term for a lot of different poo poo

"Most [ ] is pretty formulaic and just sticks to tropes, not bothering to explore any new ideas or take risks. Occasionally something really good will come out of it though." You'll notice that "anime" fits in the blank here, but so does literally every form of media. Try "cop shows," "superhero movies," "romance novels," etc. it just feels easier to bash anime because there's only a limited amount of it being made and by an incredibly small number of people, so it's totally possible for someone to have not only heard of but also have seen every single new anime produced each year, as opposed to books or something where you could never possibly hope to read even a fraction of the world's books RazzleDazzleHour fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Jul 11, 2019 |

Also there's a significant difference between "anime" art style and associated media, vs the endless deluge of shovelware steam games with the "anime" tag, vs the "anime is (intrinsically) bad" internet meme, etc. It isn't always immediately apparent which one someone is referring to.

The visual novel on the #1 New and Trending spot has screenshots of full-on nudity, and then one of an anime anus Valve has done all the moderation they deem necessary since the game is flagged as porn, so it won't show up at all unless you have the option to see porn games enabled. It's rare for something to get the 'adults only' notation just for violence/gore so that checkbox basically only toggles porn.

Animenus. Also you can specifically filter out anything that includes "sexual content" so unless you're picky about your porno you can turn it off if it's annoying you.

Gynovore posted:Yeah. I've never once bought porn or visual novels, but it was still at the top of my "new and trending" list. Yeah their algorithms always throw in stuff because "It's popular" or "Just to see if you'll like it". The net result is that everyone's queue pretty much looks the same regardless of preferences. hexwren posted:Doesn't that also inevitably filter out mainstream games that include sexual content, like Bioware or CD Projekt stuff? I don't think so. It makes a distinction between Adults Only and Sexual Content. I'm going to try turning on the Adults Only filter and see how it goes - I didn't' really want to before because I always wanted a complete picture of what's on Steam, but I think I'm going to test it out.

EDIT: On a more serious note, while I do think the subject of how personal values are expressed in fiction (not just fanfiction) can be an interesting one, the fact that this paper seems to be looking at the subject of rape in fanfiction and how they apply it to their daily life with what seems like starry-eyed naivete (at best) is a bit disturbing.

I'll give it a try: There's a distinction to be made between consenting to something vs. actually wanting it. You can not want a thing, but consent to it anyway (for instance, because somebody has power over you); on the other hand, you can want something, but feel like you can't say so. The author is claiming that erotic fanfiction lets people safely explore, learn, and argue about this distinction, because it's easier to talk about it when it involves Spock turning into a sex werewolf and having to marry Sephiroth. I don't feel I have a right to comment, but maybe I should be writing my dissertation over the contents of this thread instead of category theory. Somehow I don't think the game in question was created by an uncertain, sheltered young lady exploring and questioning the norms and taboos of her society. megane fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Jul 15, 2019 |

Using the "New releases under $5" category is probably cheating but it does provide some real winners like this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1100970/Dancing_Girl/ ( )quote:ABOUT THIS GAME ...which they're also selling bundled with a reskin of the exact same game released ~6 months prior, in case you are extra brain-damaged and/or shopping while exceedingly intoxicated. Bonus for having an even more nonsensical description inexplicably referencing an actual person who may not want to be associated with hornygames (besides skyrim, of course) quote:(...) When the famous violinist Lindsey Stirling played her violin in the New York subway, no one passing had stopped. However it's not because the audience couldn't understand the music! Rather, it's because beautiful musics needs a bit of foil. Energetic beautiful girls, brisk dance moves, good expressions, warm and quiet environment, These all greatly enhance the experience of listening to music! (...)
