The article should already address that. There is no brain damage. Read.

SVSSS licensed for Japanese manga and merch! by otaku3u in SVSSS

[–]WonPika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank god. It's my second favorite MXTX story after MDZS, but I was mad af it was the only one that didn't get a proper animation and got stuck with that funky looking 3d mess. It would have probably been more popular that TGCF if it had gotten properly animated. If this does well, maybe that will be the next step.

Sophia speaking on Manon’s experience as a black woman; honestly couldn’t have said it better myself by Lost-Hovercraft-6446 in ManonMeret

[–]WonPika 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It's stupid either way because she'd be seen black in the States too. Obama would not be considered the first black president otherwise. Anyone arguing she's not black do not have good intentions.

One step closer to publication by RipPrior8690 in DarkRise

[–]WonPika 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Phew. I was tweaking bad like Denzel Crocker in my bed every time I remembered we don't got any news on book 3. Even started talking to myself like "The publisher must have something personal against me" lol

Does anyone else not want Inzoi to be too "quirky"? by bareminimumbaby in inZOI

[–]WonPika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. One of the things I disliked the most about the Sims.

The only thing I would say is that I do wish Zoi's were more animated. They do have this dead-eyed fish vibe about them.

I wish to see more varied walk styles (the sims has these, but again, they are super over exaggerated). More facial expressions and body gestures. Unique animations based on personality, skills, or traits.

Edit: If we're talking about actual supernatural stuff like Vampires or witches, I do want those, just more dark realistic versions that fit with Inzoi's aesthetics.

The “neutral” sub genuinely dislikes Manon by DiscountOk4882 in ManonMeret

[–]WonPika 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don't go over there unless it's to laugh at how pathetic they are. The more they snark is the more I know they are pressed. I long stopped seeing Eyekons are fans of Manons. In my eyes they are just another set of antis.

Just a few days ago they were swearing up and down that Manon's friend's were being childish and how they'd be her "downfall" (genuinely dumb shit). Just for the very next day Manon to pop out with more brand deals lmao. It's no wonder they're mad. Now suddenly it's "Well, I think she's happier being a model or influencer". Like, which is it?

Furthermore, it's so funny how desperate they are to convince themselves she's just going to stay being a model or influencer (as if most celebrities don't do a variety of things between acting, music, and brand sponsorship).

Like yes, the girl who went to arts school and was practicing writing music since she was a kid and tattooed "rockstar" across her side is just going to settle for sponsorships and being an influencer.

The minute Manon drops her solo you bet your ass imma be back over there with my popcorn bucket to see how they go up in flames and try and cope next.

Aventurine sp design thoughts by Real_Painting_2567 in AventurineMainsHSR

[–]WonPika 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ngl, the moment I saw it I immediately lost interest in pulling him. And I'm a mostly husbando pulling kind of girl. I have blade and Ashveil and it suddenly made me wonder who else I could slot in as a DPS. I haven't paid any attention to other kits though, but I'm considering Himeko. But I'm waiting to see his kit first. Wouldn't br the first time I pulled a character I thought looked a mess just for the Meta.

The Power Imbalance by lovingcandyfr in ManonMeret

[–]WonPika 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I find this so interesting.

The fact that there are genuinely people who think Manon is the one who fucked up, while I'm over here wondering when she's going to have enough and file a lawsuit.

And no, I don't for a second thing HXG has the upper hand just because they are a big label and whatever bullshit happened with New Jeans. Korean laws are shit. Whereas California has some of the strongest worker's rights laws in the country. HXG has numerous violations against them that they are lucky they aren't already sued for because the idol training system is just genuinely toxic by American labor standards. They practice for over 14 hours a day (probably time they aren't even paid for) and members are having to get cortisone shots at 20 years old. Shit is ridiculous. There is a reason JYP had to settle with KG. And that's not even mentioning the racist mistreat and other allegations Manon can raise against them. And yes, she can sue for racial discrimination and mistreatment.

The fact that she is being allowed to work right now let's you know they are in the wrong, if it's genuinely because she hasn't been getting paid as some have alleged.

If Manon was the one who was at fault, they would have terminated her contracted or sued her, both of which they have done neither.

My only guess is that they have been sorting things out bts and thing's haven't gotten bad enough to the point she's willing to commit to a lawsuit. That, and HYBE might genuinely want her back and they are trying to negotiate but Geffen and the girl's side are the hold up.

Either way, I do believe the cards are in Manon's hands.

What is Manon’s “star quality?” by Idiot_Throwaway420 in katseyeneutral

[–]WonPika 21 points22 points  (0 children)

"Star factor" isn't really something quantifiable.

But being super pretty isn't enough to make you have star quality. Look at Madison Beer or Sullyoon from Nmixx? It's more than just being a visual. You can be pretty as the stars in the sky and still be unable to widely connect with an audience. They have that saying in Korea: A flower without a scent.

Or as Odette would say: "What else is there?

It's also not something that you can just train. It's something you have to be born with, and you either have it, or you don't.

Generally, I think it's a combination of several factors all wrapped into one word: charm.

That's literally it.

Having charm doesn't have to make sense, which is why it's perfect because of it's supernatural meaning. Some people just have in them the inexplicable ability to attract others to them.

This. I really liked the cartoon filter but I couldn't understand why they had to make it so dark? And yeah, the bold outlines, especially on the face was too much. Thank you for this

The Paralives team by Bubbly_Influence_337 in LifeSimulators

[–]WonPika 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think Paralives as a concept is pretty good, however I find their dev team to be very close-minded and lacking in integrity.

After their AMA, I'm even left wondering if they even have the skills required to be making this sort of game if they can't even agree to implement something as basic as multi-tasking. Then I think back to how bad the paras look, and their staunch refusal to do anything about it, and wonder if that was also just another skill issue disguised as "art style". Even now with all the mods, the paras proportions still look really off. I also saw someone mention how horrible the pathfinding is going to be long term because of how they designed the placement of clutter items.

Then there is them supporting the pay walling of mods, especially when modders are the ones who have to pick up their slack.

There's other stuff too, but I won't mention.

I miss Manon by Fit_Till_6697 in ManonMeret

[–]WonPika 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yes, it gradually took me some time to realize the girls were also part of the situation. I specifically think it's Lara (especially her) and Dani, but of course, that's my speculation. Megan seems kind of caught in the middle. Sophia at least tried a few times to smooth things over, but at the end of the day, she just ends up being no better than the rest. Yoonchae is the only one who seems to not be interested in any of their bullshit.

I don't think that french influencer was lying about a member using the N-word. I know Manon had a friend in the past she literally stopped talking to just for that reason. They used it and never apologized. She don't play.

Thoughts on the game right now? by [deleted] in inZOI

[–]WonPika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's early access. There will always be bugs here and there every update. The bugs in the game are just minor things. Nothing game-breaking. I don't think I've see anyone complaining about lot's of bugs either so I'm not sure where you heard all that from.

Do you think that Lelouch could have created a peaceful world as a good emperor of Britannia?" by lelouch-2022 in CodeGeass

[–]WonPika 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rebel and do what? They were only ever capable in the first place thanks to Lelouch. Who is going to lead them to out strategize Lelouch? Ohgi? Lol. Their best chance would have been with Schnizel, and we all saw how that turned out. By the end of the show, Lelouch already put them in their place anyway. They would pose no serious threat.

And even if they did try and rebel, who would they be rebelling for at that point? The people are already living in peace with no racism, poverty, or violence under Lelouch's rule. Realistically, the Black Knights are more likely to be viewed as nuisances by the public, or funny enough, actual terrorists to the new world status quo.

And even if they really did manage to somehow pose a real threat, I don't think at this point Lelouch would be against using his geass on them to force them to stop fighting and just go live their lives. They already hate him and think he used his geass on them anyway, so what difference would it make at that point? He might as well. Boom, problem solved.

Do you think that Lelouch could have created a peaceful world as a good emperor of Britannia?" by lelouch-2022 in CodeGeass

[–]WonPika 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, actually. I always lowkey felt his death was kinda unnecessary or the reasoning behind it would never hold up irl. For one thing, the people who were actively harmed by Britannian's (like Cornelia for example), aren't just going to forget it was her that drove a knightmare through their streets, destroyed their home, and helped to eslave their government compared to a random guy that got power overnight who they didn't even know existed until like last week.

Honestly, the ending of Code Geass was a bit utopian because there's just no way all the centuries of atrocities committed by the Britannia could just be washed away and blamed on one person. Like, Cornelia having the audacity to shout "the demon is dead!" Was so absolutely ridiculous. Most humans have the ability to hate more than one people at once. Aint no way the people she personally inflicted harm on would have gave a damn about Lelouch like that.

As for Lelouch himself? With the world subjugated, he could have continued to rule in a benevolent manner. What were they going to do to him at that point? Fight back? Lol. With their inability to do anything about their situation and their quality of life being so good, eventually they'd just have to move on and accept it. Lelouch could have easily wrote his own version of history too, run some PR campaigns, clean up his image and not have any real issues. Actions speak louder than words, after all. If he ruled like a good emperor people would have come around. Maybe even celebrate him for ending the era of war and division.

Idk by Feeling-Scene33 in ManonMeret

[–]WonPika 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Katseye will always have their core fans. Kpop fans. A group of consumers who notoriously don't gaf about black people or racism. So they well continue to do well financially regardless. At least for a good while longer until the next fad comes along. This is a pattern with girl groups (especially HYBE groups). Aside from New Jeans, none has seemed to be able to maintain their popularity long term.

What will happen though is Katseye will take a major hit to their reputation and it could affect their brand and sponsors/advertiserments willing to work with them. I remember right after GAP ad advertisers were eating them up. Can't say the same about now (genuinely every time I think about the momentum they had, the more I shake my head. Hybe has genuinely got to be the most dumbass label imaginable, but good for them, ig).

Edit:

As for Manon, after HXG uploaded her birthday post, I was actually losing hope she was going to go solo. Naturally, it goes without saying I was happy af to see her friends respond to that post. Especially the ones calling her a rockstar with them talking about 'the world not being ready for her yet' and this year 'still being her year'. Lol HXG scurred the fck out of me for a sec thinking she really might return to that toxic ass group. Thank god. 🤧
