Also also also.

Creators of social media or whatever don’t control what goes on, they just make some rules and some guidelines and let the community go wild.

Ralph has stated MANY times that his focus is primarily on the app, and just lets the community do whatever whilst occasionally commenting and making jokes.

Case and point, maybe the creators of Reddit don’t like all of the discussions going on, it might even be against their will, but as long as it isn’t breaking the rules and guidelines (and if the owners don’t make any bullsh!t rules specifically to target what they don’t like) then he community SHOULD be able to do whatever the hell they want.

It’s called free speech, and whilst some speech is bad, most is perfectly fair and allowed

You didn’t wow at Incredibles because it was just a base fig fighting a bunch of nameless randies

You didn’t awe in amazement at Ghost In The Shell (The original, not the normie-fied Hollywood edition) because all the characters were stick figures fighting each other

You didn’t cry sorrowful tears when Bigfoot’s mom died because she was a kickass fighter whom wore a scarf for no apparent reason.

You liked these movies because they had an interesting plot and characters that even in the fights scenes still had interesting unique ideas, and they knew how to tell them.

Because the story came before the fights

Because the characters were design with more in mind than looking “cool*” (although in some cases this isn’t a bad thing*)

Because they could keep you genuinely interested without having to have a fight scene every 5 minutes.

Or maybe you didn’t see any of these movies and have no idea what I’m talking about.

I mean, I guess I wouldn’t blame you for stuff like GITS.

But opinions can be changed! And I’m not even forcing it upon him

Even then, just because these are opinions doesn’t mean to simply ignore them.

Using base figs won’t get you far in most places nowadays. It won’t get you far as a hobbyist, or a professional, AND THAT IS STATISTICS.

Most people can’t even name most scarf figs because they all look like each other. Really people can only name a few famous ones (and even then they aren’t as famous anymore) such as Heckray, Kaido, and Mei.

There’s little reason anymore to use base figs than staying in your comfort zone, but no one anywhere on this planet got anywhere far or made any lasting impact by staying in their comfort zone.

Snow White would’ve have been as impressive and important to the industry like it was if it wasn’t in full color.

Just like how SNM changed the entire game by not flimsily trying to create a plot just so you can string a bunch of fight scenes together, but instead put the plot FIRST and that’s what gave Epitaph his popularity today!

Not only by playing it safe and staying in the box severely limit your potential, it doesn’t get you anywhere!

This animation industry is lacking so much creativity right now, whether it being because most animated movies that aren’t from Disney or Pixar are almost always trash, and even the hidden gems don’t get much attention, or towards the fact that almost every cartoon nowadays looks the same!

Why would you want to add to the pile of uncreativity?!

You see, detail isn’t EVERYTHING, character design is.

You need to be able to effectively portray your character in a simple and creative way.

Base figs lack uniqueness, and without something to make you stand out, most just become hot topics and are dead in a few months after they’ve peaked.

You can see this with seasonal anime, only the unique stuff lasts, whilst the more generic of the bunch are fun in the moment, but the popularity soon fizzles, and it gets forgotten.

I gotta go to bed soon so I’ll talk about the basics of character design tomorrow
