@berkberkman CalArts is produced just as lazily the only difference is they try to appeal to an audience of queers who hate their families instead of college bros and single 30 year olds
@Senator_Armstrong@berkberkman At least anime has a soul and is produced with passion in most cases. Everything Netflix releases is a low effort cash grab
@PraxisOfEvil@berkberkman Simple art style is cheaper to animate when the characters move around a lot, that's probably a factor. Anime looks great but it's more expensive by comparison.
@berkberkman@Senator_Armstrong Yeah they'll make anything commodified and soulless too keep the cynical appeal to their audience and keep production costs low
@PraxisOfEvil@berkberkman@Senator_Armstrong On a spiritual level making everything ugly and disgusting is a good way for the regime to keep people in line with the pall of melancholy. Beauty stirs men's souls to action.
Adobe Flash and infamous "tweening" animation was really bad too for a while. Some dude became an e-celeb on that one shitty furry art site for a while for doing just that.
@Milo@berkberkman These people think Steven Universe is talking directly to them whenever the show makes some allusion to troonism or whatever, ofc they're going to react like this when anyone hates it.
that's literally why there's less porn of them these days unless it has some non human characters that artists wind up redesigning and drawing better (and not even that as much).
