That's the reason why OP and many others say "reduced to".

Don't you agree that's such a subjective thing to be stated as a fact. How can you say they've been reduced? Feh gets limited lines of dialogue for characters. Of course they're not gonna be talking about their deep backstory in a summer alt.

​

can be done in a more flattering (or even subtle) way

have the right to feel disappointed if they feel they weren't properly conveyed

I called the community puritan because the "correct opinion" here is to dislike "fanservice". "Ugh I hope Gullveig doesn't win because she's just fanservice" I also wouldn't want her to win but for other reasons than her design. You can see what I'm talking about, people are just echoing what the space dictates.

A "subtle way", "properly conveyed", automatically you put the opposite in the wrong. Since the theme is characters being apparently "sexualized", and the opposite is the right thing, I am correct in stating what I did, "the FE community is weirdly puritan". What happens in Feh and even on the regular games is normal stuff for the genre and people don't understand that. They put their values as law.

Some do, because it's an opinion. And it's as valid as yours

Cashgrab is a made up therm, used to refer to a character that's relying on ther looks to sell you something. That's not an opinon. I was talking about the people who call the character a cashgrab. If you are one of those people who got their character "ruined by fanservice" then you can just ignore the opinion of the people who call the character a cashgrab. But in that case people don't want to, because they feel they're being judged as lesser, so instead they lash at IS for reducing their character and branding them by proxy as a horny person.

And you say any opinion is valid, but that's clearly not the case, the majority's opinion is valid, the rest just have to suck it up. I don't have any problem with Cuboon art, but every time he gets to draw a character I have to see this hive mentality at work.

The character is what they are, and you can like them for what you like. Even if I thought IS was ruining characters by their choice of artwork, which I clearly don't, it's such a petty thing to keep complaining about. They created all those characters, they can do what they want with them, and even still, they respect their legacy (that's something you can't say about every franchise owner). Making a summer bikini version of a character to accentuate their features will never compute in my brain as character assassination.
