Nice. ^_^

Excellent.

Nice.

I can see why.

Nice. :D

^^^^

they just never really posted on it.

Then they're not "on" it. I used to follow many dead accounts that artists never used, only to unfollow them later, begrudgingly.
Hell, maybe they don't even remember they have an account in there until it reminds them "this email already has a linked account".

"meme" sites always go edgier and edgier up to "ironic Nazi jokes" which in turn attract real Nazis looking for gathering places?

Yeah that's basically what happened to 4chan, trolls baiting each other with edgy jokes and Nazis came, decided it's a Nazi bar, and it was sidetracked in an instant.
If it look like a duck, swim like a duck, quack like a duck, is it really any others' responsibility if they can't tell "it's a bait!"?

Caesar is so fukin stupid, awww

I love them

@Moedred I'm going to assume that you're talking about a specific type of Blue Archive fan, the ones harassing this artist are the same ones that are constantly making "pedo jokes". It's very possible that those types are actually pedos in the way you're describing. I wouldn't say that everyone that plays Blue Archive and enjoys the game is a pedo though. There's people like this artist that just enjoy it as an anime game and aren't disturbed about it.

@juanelric I thought twitter at least banned the orange-bafoon but muskrat unbanned him, that's how I remember it. Twitter definitely had problems in the past but nowhere near this level, and bullies would actually get dealt with more often, the report button wasn't so useless.

Also yeah I've found that "tourist" is commonly used by far right types that think Japan is a utopia for conservatives. For at least some of them "anti-tourist" = "anti-woke". Where they believe that Japan has no LGBT+ people, women have no rights, and so fourth. Which ultimately is them fetishizing Japan, yes Japan is conservative and has it's issues with LGBT+ and women like many countries, though there's also a lot of LGBT+ people and women in Japan trying to live their best life and have fair rights, just as they do in other countries. It's not black and white, there's nuance. Also stating the obvious here this type of "anti-tourist" poster is racist of course, and part of their fetishizing is that these far right types don't actually like Japanese people, they just like their fantasy version of Japan, and their fantasy that no anime or manga is at all political in a way they disagree with, and that no anime or manga contains things that they dislike. As you said it's an excuse, it's an excuse to be terrible to other people and harass them, and they're usually delusional enough to believe their own nonsense and hate. It's sad.

Nitpick: not gonna lie, the baloon of Shepard merging with the one of Liara instead of being separated irritates me.

^There is actually art on here of them meeting, so you're not alone in that thought lol

@ObsessiveFingerLicker, I don't know if dropping the conversation about GCucks from another art work here is a smooth transition lol, I will say though that yeah I wish Machu and Nyaan were a pair.

I really love SulMio and I wonder when I'll fall in love with another Gundam couple like that, if there will be another.

@ the usual suspects:

The term "bait" is often used wantonly and with little regard to the intentionality it implies. Perhaps we need another term for things that look seem like yuri at first, but aren't. "Fool's Yuri", perhaps? Withal, GFoooooo is definitely bait:

Just look at how the very first episode was structured. Imagine a man-chu for a protagonist, bumping into a mysterious girl who suddenly drags him, an unqualified outside nobody into a world full of thrill and adventure. This is a classic shounen formula for setting up the main romantic interest. I'm unacquainted with any potential interfering production factors (but wouldn't rule them out), so after applying Occam's Razor it's pretty clear Sunrise saw the greater audience pull that GWitch had and decided to capitalize on it with perfectly wilful ambiguity and tease. Anything less would imply their marketing team is incompetent to the point of sabotage whilst coincidentally ep 1 and the ED are gay freak accidents.

For context, GBaaaaaaR is my first Gundam series ever and I dropped it after 4 episodes. I want to see if the weak start was only due to influence of one of the Trinity of overrated incoherence (hint: it's not Nasu or Kojima) but it failed in being any less ridiculous. Given the impeccable visuals yuri would've been a mere cherry on top for me, but I can't be reminded of other nostalgia-driven fishnet plot hotchpotches like Disney's Star Wars sequels and especially Pacific Rim: Uprising. Perchance I am just missing vital context, but I expected Gundam to be about war drama and not civilization-wide lead poisoning; as of now, I'll give it the No Game No Life-treatment: of "Ooooh, pretty colours. Just DON'T engage with the so-called plot at all."

Nevertheless I have to defend the male. From my perspective he already had more personality that any kiritoface could ever wish for, and in fact radiated prime Shaggy energy. But certainly, potential can be squandered.

@Aureole Yeah...the whole nazi thing is a major problem, and I think that's also a layer to the type of people harassing this artist now.

^I know Nasu and Kojima have their issues and I won't say they're perfect, but as someone who likes both of them and various things they've done I'm over here thinking, Oi, let's not be rude. Though I think we have a lot of "agree to disagree" views on creatives and media, and that's fine lol

Also I don't know, when I was watching the series Shuji gave me more Kirito energy than Shaggy, but I suppose mileage will vary. Another agree to disagree moment heh

Anyhow, I think if we want to discuss this more someone should make a GCucks discussion thread on the forum, I don't want to keep being disruptive on GWitch art.

^^I mean yeah, the same like not every ZZZ player is absolute, shameless gooner, but it's shocking how this crap is widespread, accepted and encouraged in communities like that. I'm in an anime community for years, and both loli/shota crap and gooning were part of community, but what happen last few years is crazy.

me irl

^I worry I might come off the wrong way or at least badly, especially as there's nuances and thoughts that get missed or are difficult to articulate, here goes though. Part of why the situation is so weird to me is that there's games and anime/manga where I don't mind attractive characters, fan service elements, and so fourth. With anime/manga the loli/shota thing to me is something where I see a cute stylized cartoon character. I don't translate or take things from these types of media into the real world, and I think that's "normal" I guess.

Where I can say oh yeah this ZZZ character is attractive, or this taboo one-shot comic on Dynasty is interesting or sometimes even spicy, and that's about the gist. I don't make it a personality point, I can turn off my computer and entirely separate that from the real world. I'd like to at least believe I have a solid head on my shoulders and ability to separate reality and fiction.

So it's just...weird to me when I look over and see people being creeps about all of this media in a way where it is their personality, and they translate it to irl as well. On top of often being incels that are all around hateful. The kind of people that go out of their way to be cruel to artists like this, and it's a core part of their personality. It sucks.

^ Extella was before humanity migrated to the moon, so presumably Rin was on earth, and honestly he doesn't sounds like the type of person that will give up on earth, so she probably never migrated to the moon, but Hakuno did mention seeing familiar faces at the end of Extella, so who know tbh. (Extella Links was a filler game without much story, so it make sense she didn't appear)

Real world Rin is only shown in Fate/Extra when she promise to find Hakuno in her ending, and in CCC since it's alternative timeline for it. She is also blonde. And Rin Tohsaka from Stay/Night is her aunt since she is daughter of Tokiomi other daughter.
She don't appear at all in Extella, but it have been few years since I played any Fate/Extra timeline games so I might forgot. I still have CCC on my PC, but don't have time and will to start and play it ;p.

Same, Tomboy x Ojousama never gets old for me. Streetfighter has the same thing with Karin and Sakura. Not as promising, but still.

Thank you humanity for making this yuri possible!

Also welp...I see people trying to now pull an American K-On fandom situation with Umamusume since the franchise is getting more popular in the West, and the game is coming to English. Where self proclaimed nazis are doing horrible shit with the media in question. It's so disgusting and tiring, another 20+ reports submitted. I still love K-On and I'll continue loving Umamusume, but it sucks to think about such hateful losers wiping their slimey hands all over them.

^If the forum has a system to move posts to other threads, it'd be good to create a GQuuuuuuX thread and move the discussion from here and the other image to a new thread.

Anyway, I'd be happy if MachuNyaa became canon, but I'll probably ship it even if it never does. I love Elle x Roux (which needs more shippers and more fanart) after all.

@Gray Shadow I think we have very different definitions of blonde

^^I was gonna say Karin bought Sakura's family dojo to save it but that was Lili and Asuka's family dojo.

Also, apparently Lili's butler said her rivalry is how she shows her love.
