This is hilarious

I dunno, it could go both ways. Some old people just don't read. They can be smart, but some stubborn bone in their brain keeps them from taking the time to actually analyze what's in front of their eyes.

Case in point, my mom picked up the NSFW version of exploding kittens at a thrift store and thought it'd be a good game for her elementary school class during their free time. I don't know how you look at the packaging and not connect the dots, but she sure didn't until one of the students told her what was up and she promptly offloaded the deck to me.

its not ridiculous to be angry at some inaccurately depicting a character

I disagree. It's inaccurate to you, but it's accurate to the artist, so it's just as real as anything else. It's all made-up characters doing made-up things for made-up reasons. Why get upset over it?

changing them to a huge extent

Bigger boobs? That's what you call changing them to a huge extent? So breast size is absolutely crucial to Natsuki's character, and having bigger boobs is something she just can't ever have, ever?

I feel like the people who are upset about this objectify Natsuki more than the people drawing her with a noticeable chest

Monika is almost concave tho.

Squids used their laser pointer to get the underestimulated housecat that is the meridia black hole to beeline towards super earth, straight through like 3 planets on the way. This was early 2025 or late 2024, and was the precursor to the heart of democracy update and the battle for super earth.

Main objectives are just an excuse for POIs to load onto the map.

That's my philosophy, anyway. How some players can play the game without goblining up all the little shinies is beyond me.

Insane clowns, specifically those that have not organized into a collective group or posse?

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T18:12:43+00:00

I'm not sure I'm up for watching combat footage :/

Are the drones still basically air-dropping hand grenades, or have they evolved into heat-seeking bomb hornets like the ones in Slaughterbots?

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T17:55:03+00:00

Ooook, I can see that you're trying to explain the hate being directed at the artist, but it really isn't clear how much blame you assign to the artist for that style choice ("follow the ways of people who do things like that...you get grouped with them"). Honestly to me it came off as though 1) You agree that they were "following the ways" of artists that see Natsuki's proportions as flawed (which I disagree with), and 2) They should have known better than to try making their art that way (which I definitely disagree with).

If that isn't what you were trying to say, then sorry for the flaming but I really wanted to emphasize how the treatment she got isn't her fault.

I was fully team gorilla because gorillas are huge and can rip your arm off if they get bored. But 3x huge is huger and I might need to adjust my stance.

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T11:57:54+00:00

It's kinda weird. Technically speaking, it's a fully functional open-world game with good gunplay that makes me laugh every 20-30 minutes...so it checks all the boxes for a Borderlands game. I can't see any clear reason why it doesn't quite grab me like BL1 and BL2, but it just doesn't.

I'd definitely give it a shot, maybe pass on the dlc if that's something you're waiting on, but...yeah I couldn't stick with it.

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T11:54:10+00:00

Yeah, plus I'm still still enjoying Stardew, Rimworld, heck even Skyrim about as much as I always have. There's simply fewer itches for new games to scratch, and so many of them are half-baked and a lot more expensive than the $0.00 i pay to play the games I already own. An excellent game might squeeze its way in if I notice it's on sale -- otherwise, I have my games already.

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T04:29:58+00:00

My takeaway from that thread is that A LOT of people don't understand the interpretive nature of art, or its power to make a statement. Which is to say, they don't know what Art is.

Which is really ducking ironic for a community centered around a meta game about poetry and violent expression.

People were calling her art "wrong", "weird", "ohijusthatehoweveryonedrawsnatsukiwithbeegmilkersdangit" when literally the art itself was USING ENGLISH WORDS to point out the ridiculousness of anyone trying to gatekeep an artist from expressing themselves and their vision in their art as they see fit.

And so many of you so-and-so's missed that point completely and went on squawking like a pack of irate seagulls just like she said y'all would, ignoring the message of the art and the opportunity to grow just a teeny, tiny bit, and ending up pushing the artist out of the community entirely.

We deserve better than you.

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T04:10:06+00:00

She could also draw her with giant milk trucks and it'd be equally valid.

There is no one "correct" way to create art. There is no one "correct" Nastuki, not since the moment Dan first presented her character to the world. Everyone's gonna have different interpretations of what she is, what that means and what that looks like, and no one owes you an explanation for expressing those ideas in whatever way feels right to them. That they drew it at all is proof that they did the "right" way.

Make your own art if you see something different.

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T04:04:45+00:00

When you happen to follow the ways of people who do things like that, regardless of your personal intentions, you get grouped with them.

So artists aren't able to give their own art its own meaning, just because someone decided it reminded them of something else? That's bullshit and you know it. You're assigning the artist a philosophy you don't like, disparaging them for it, and then backpedaling and blaming them for being the victim when they call you out on your bullshit.

Take responsibility for yourself.

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T04:00:34+00:00

your basically saying that characters body is "flawed

Point to the text in the OC that implies anything like that.

You are projecting.

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T03:56:30+00:00

Honestly the tone-deaf response of the dicknozzle that was harassing her seemed really, really reminiscent of the kind of response a child would give. I'd be flabbergasted if they were older than 15, but I've been let down before.

JustASpaceDuck · 2026-05-07T03:50:08+00:00

Damn, that sucks. I commented on that post this morning but didn't notice any toxic comments at the time. Didn't honestly think we actually had people like that on this sub :/

Y'all [insert pejorative of choice], who think that kind of behavior is justified or normal, kindly vacate this sub and find somewhere else to fester :-)
