Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

I’m a christian, and I use the cuss term “Hell” alot admittedly. lol  
Obviously, I’m not a very strict one. In fact, my christian parents cussed constantly, and let us watch PG-13, and some rated R movies when we were kids.
 
@Myoozik  
I remember a guy said he thinks it was worth it just to bring closure to Bo-Peep, a character forgotten in the third movie.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
She’s 29(30) ish now. They shouldn’t be surprised that they aged up her design

@Meanlucario  
People are saying she’s too “sexualized” because she used to be stick-thin.  
 

 
Whereas now she’s noticeably more curvy.  
 

 
Keep in mind, though, that she’s also at least ten years older now than she had been, since the characters age in real-time, like… what? Are people expecting the characters to stay looking the same forever?

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Meanwhile, Murdoc just keeps getting more green.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Y’know, it feels like the modern trend of people shouting that, “Female characters shouldn’t have bewbs/curves/hips/thighs” is a new more subtle form of “body-shaming,” and like the modern equivalent of people centuries ago, calling women whom show so much as their ankles as “whores.”

@Zincy  
Yeah, why doesn’t anyone complain about that?
 
@Beau Skunky  
It really does seem like that, doesn’t it? Particularly in animated media, I see this trend popping up. As if being curvy or having boobs is somehow inherently sexual in and of itself.

@TheHappySpaceman  
It’s happening with comics, and video games too. (And anime makers are especially taking heat.)
 
I can understand female fans not wanting characters too sexualized, but some flip out even over ones that so much as have an A-cup bra size. It’s not like we can pretend women don’t have body parts that stick out, and in a way, it seems to be making the female form out to be a “perverse/disgusting” thing, and is not progressive nor feminist honestly.
 
It also feels like a double-standard, because people have no problem with male characters/superheroes/wrestlers being shirtless, only wearing briefs, huge buff muscles, or having “unrealistic body preportions/giving young males low self esteem,” and such.

@Beau Skunky  
With the last part, the problem is how it’s presented. Ever noticed how often females on covers bend so that you can see their ass and breast?

>unironically caring about Modern Gorillaz

@Don’t  
Well, people can like stuff.
 
@Meanlucario  
You mean the notorious “Boobs and butt” pose? Truthfully, I haven’t seen it that much lately, but I’m talking about people getting bent over a character so much as having A-cups, or something.

@Don’t  
Gorillaz has gotten a lot better recently. They had a low point with Humanz, but Song Machine has been mostly good.
 
@Beau Skunky  
Yeah, it honestly makes me fear that my work will come under fire if my webcomic ever gets off the ground.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
The only Song Machine song that has disappointed me was Friday 13th. Where Octavian sounds like he just did a line of crushed Ambian and wondered into the studio.

@Zincy  
Same. Otherwise, they were pretty good.

@Beau Skunky  
It’s a stupid trend that needs to stop. It’s getting real annoying, and it stifles creativity.

@Penguin Dragneel  
My response to people who do this.

@Penguin Dragneel  
Agreed.

@TheHappySpaceman

Toph bless Filthy Frank. :D

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for fans to complain when artists deviate from their usual style
 
I say that as someone who loves Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino

@Commune  
I’m kinda the opposite. I kinda miss off-model moments in cartoons, and stuff, as I prefer flawed styles.  
When everything’s “perfect,” sometimes it looks too machine-made, or homogenized. I dunno how to explain it.
 
Like say Beavis & Butthead, Superjail, or old Simpsons sometimes have flaws, but they somehow look more human, and can make animation a bit more fluid sometimes. I even kinda like the aged colors/film in old cartoons sometimes.

@Beau Skunky  
I’m talking about shit like rock musicians making a hip hop album or whatever  
That being said, animation mistakes don’t really bring any perfection to me

@Commune  
Fans have every right to complain, but bands have the freedom to adjust their style if they wish. Attempting to claim otherwise it comes across as being overly possessive.

 
A slow Beach Boys type song and a loud raucous speed-rocking one. This is awesome.

@Beau Skunky
 
I’m a personal sucker for the Coyote And Roadrunner cartoons if I’m being honest. I really like how surprisingly great everything looks in motion, yet when I put attention in very minor details, I noted those small imperfections I didn’t notice before.

@Commune  
The problem is when the artists starts fearing their fanbase when it comes to experimenting with new sounds
 
Look at Weezer and U2 and how bland they became because their fanbase rejected their experimentations
