why is reposting the same topic over and over on Yea Forums popular these days?

The first time you make a thread Yea Forumsirgins might see it and contribute some insightful discussion but if you make the same thread over and over, the Yea Forumsirgins that have seen the thread previously will ignore it. On the other hand, newfags will shitpost just as much regardless of if a thread has been posted previously. So reposting the same topic is an effective way of filtering out the core Yea Forums posters and bringing down the overall quality of discussion on this board.

because the level of obsession people have with anime is astounding. it makes them think games like Persona 5 are actually good.

Most anime art is cringe worthy. Thats not to say there arent a few gems out there.

There are certain people that refuse to play anything that doesn't have anime style graphics or will defend to the death trash tier games because of my animuu art in it.

I guess a prime example of good anime art vs cringe anime art would be those random "then vs now" comparisons people have posted about anime.

Well, a few years ago, Japan was known for producing very complex and advanced RPGs such as RPGs in Final Fantasy (although for a more technical discussion, check out this great article). Most of Japanese video games and TV anime was produced with a high level of artifice which allows gamers to fully connect with the characters in the games by experiencing their feelings and emotions with the game mechanics. And, if you were like me and did not care for that artistic approach, you could get games like Dark Souls without it! But as more and more people start getting into Japanese video games, we start seeing the anime artstyle spread into a lot of other genres.

But why anime as opposed to anime for other games? One reason is because games like Final Fantasy tend to have more story content. And, we usually see those story and art elements in games. Another reason is that the anime is more of a Japanese style anime. Japanese art and animation were developed in Japan and that culture lends a very Japanese flavor to the medium of anime.

I lived in Japan till I was 19 and can tell you that you are wrong.

To understand why anime works, you basically have to understand art. The more you reduce something to it's basics, the more people it appeals to. This is called iconification. This is also why the original 2D Animated Disney movies resonate more with people than hyper realistic 3D models.

Obviously, the principle works in reverse. The reason the girl on the left is less appealing is because she's actually too detailed. She fits into a very specific style. Which yes, there will be people who like it. But the amount of people is going to be very niche. Maybe just a few thousand. The girl on the right, people can project their own idealized details onto. This means it appeals to millions of people, not thousands. This is the irony of cartooning vs realism.

Both of these are peak perfection you shitty bot.

What game is this from?

Asian face here is clearly somewhat rotated and possibly tilted. She's cute but this comparison is slightly skewed

Unfortunately, the west is obsessed with moving away with appealing aesthetics and towards ugly shit because of tons of insecurities. Enjoying something cute is childish. Watching a movie that a child could enjoy, even if it was also made with adults in mind, is childish. Wide appeals are for the weak, you have to show your strength by eating garbage. An idealized woman will make poor ugly fatasses feel bad, we need to show all of the flaws of reality in our designs or it's insensitive.

Asian women don't look like that.

Western games have always had ugly women in them, though.

I don't think the west, as in the general population, is doing this. The general population is increasingly turning off all this gritty realism and watching anime/cartoons/old movies. It's the establishment media who is trying to force the realism/ugly designs on everyone. In order to keep their monopoly. If anime/animation broke out and got popular in the mass market, it could destroy Hollywood, boring British dramas and Broadway.

This is why Hollywood destroyed the animation market in the west. But they still haven't killed Japan's....yet. They are buying up the distributors and trying to buy up the studios right now though.

Clearly you don't go to Yea Forums. Endless people bitching about how [x] style sucks or [y] show is better or [z] show sucks for being moe.

Wasn't the point of this excercise for the woman to make herself as beautiful as she could on one side of her face and as ugly as she could on the other using make up?
You can clearly see on the left side that she drew black stuff over one of her teeth, and drew in a lot of the black shadowy marks on her face with the most notable being the bag under her eye, and the crease to the side of her nose and mouth.

Because the k stands for korean and those countries are very homogeneous. Also, the main selling point of kpop is self insertion. That's why they're not allowed to have a boyfriend/girlfriend (at least not visibly) and if they are seen with one, their popularity goes down. Idols are literally designed from the ground up to generate money on the idea of "That could be me".

Sure but all the stars are Asian, not a single white. Be they from China, Japan or even Thailand. That does change a lot because despite them not knowing Korean they get picked to be stars. They never picked a pretty white chick or a pretty white dude living in Korea and knowing the language despite your delusions that they're being worshiped.

Of course not, normal people are attracted to their own race.
The only people attracted to other races are outcasts who feel like they have been rejected by their own people.
That's why in all racemixing threads you can see racial tension that you don't see in normal waifufag threads.

You don't know what the fuck you're even talking about.

White people aren't trying to get into KPOP. They might pick some, if they had a large amount of them trying to get in. But white people don't want to jump through all the hoops of learning their language, cultural quirks and acting like a generic KPOP idol. And they don't need to, because a white singer can make it big in Korea just singling western music like country or hip-hop.

Korea and Japan fucking love country music for some reason, filling halls to capacity to hear singers that the US population no longer cares about.

That's bull. People are just attracted to what they're familiar with. I'm a white guy who grew up with a lot of hispanic and black female friends. And I ended up becoming attracted to that as a result.

There's also plenty of Asian women who find foreign people exciting and exhilarating. They just don't have the option to interact with them, when the only people from that race are tourists.

She doesn't even compare with how huge BTS or Blackpink are in the west.

Male fans self insert into the boyfriend role. This is why if kpop idols are seen with a boyfriend, their popularity goes down and they can be fired. Their whole marketing towards the male audience is "I still have a chance with her".
Female fans self insert into the idol role. This is why you can go to plastic surgery places in south korea and are handed a book of women (many of them idols) and asked "who do you want to look like?"

>Japan says Darkstalkers looks like Disney
