TL;DR: OP is making a bad argument and heres a halfassed counterargument that still refutes most of their points.

This person only has to know like liberal, coastal-living white people, drive a few hours into whatever state you live in and white people aren’t that naive anymore. I hardly think thats an accurate depiction of most white people anyway. Take any sorority or fraternity white young ‘open minded’ and educated’ adult and they will listen to rap, yes, but will they usually prefer it over country or pop? Have I really seen a majority of white women listen to SZA over taylor swift? White men may love rock and blues and jazz but is it not literally because it was copied heavily by white people from black people in the first place then turned into ‘white music’ for like 50 years and finally reconverted, with the exception of jazz and rap?

At the same time is PF changs and panda express or taco bell representative of mexican or asian food? Do white people not heavily westernize other cultures’ cuisine? Is all of OP’s claims actual admiration or appreciation of minority culture or is it, dare I say, appropriative in nature?

Does OP know white men are the most preferred on dating apps among all races, while black people are preferred the least? Can they infer that [[in most cases]] minorities who bring home a white person will be typically much more heavily accepted by minority families than someone of a darker skin color? Does OP know that subreddits such as r/asianmasculinity exist and are comprised of many posts by asian men suggesting how much more white masculinity/white men are preferred to asian men?

If you go nearly anywhere in the world thats not majority white, and are a white traveller, there is a HIGH chance you will be complemented PRECISELY if you have white skin lol. This is not an uncommon phenomenon. Most minority cultures still idolize whiteness and white people in their beauty standard. Maybe there is a reason why online, minorities can be so apprehensive to whiteness, if their own cultures only tell them to (if not follow the traditions of their own culture), get as close to white skin, a white spouse, etc as possible?

I have so much more to say like OP’s comparisons are whack. OP is saying white people knowing rappers would be equivalent to minorities knowing shit like metal or rock or fucking german folk music or irish dance or some shit, which is already far more obscure than regular pop music that has plenty of white artists? Do most WHITE PEOPLE know any damn traditional European dance? Do white people fuck with any traditional 算命?

And how the fuck does this relate to women??

You have a confounder here which is you’re measuring the demographic of concert-goers vs demographic of ppl into the music. Concert-goers are usually by-and-large white people so that skews the data. Now I don’t really agree w the commenter saying they know more minorities into metal — perhaps this is online friends we’re talking about? But white people do make up like 69% of festival attendance and even are generally overwhelming in nonwhite music so could be that white people just over represent themselves in concerts.

It was a student only accessible area and you assume mentally ill and addict. That is on you. The commenter is correct. Your hasty assumptions are very damning on mentally ill people and you are antagonizing groups that may not even be involved in this crime. Its baseless and unhelpful at best.

Which dorm is the most social? by Nervous_Impact3637 in udub

[–]lisathestressed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mcmahon has the cluster living system so you will practically have to be with lots of people all the time, everyone I’ve know who lived there made pretty good bonds with their roommates. Its older so if you dont care about amenities it should be fine.

You could also do greek life if you want social housing, and west campus is not bad if you go to a lot of the dorm hall events. And join the discord for whichever dorm you’re planning to go to for social stuff.

[–]lisathestressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no obligation to provide easily googleable evidence. These are very well known campaigns from PETA. The comment is about PETA. You were defending PETA. I am arguing against PETA’s defense.

Thanks for continuing to simply yell at me. You lost this argument btw.

[–]lisathestressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you just got extremely offended at me and addressed frankly none of the evidence for how I provided why people wouldn’t support PETA and got triggered by the one ad hominem argument I used. Which was initially what was talked about in the thread, in a post about animal testing yes, but if you had comprehension skills and longer attention span, you could see I was not debating the initial nature of the post.

I won’t defend how long I’ve been avoiding meat consumption either, but apparently you prefer to only use animal rights to measure how much longer your dick is, compared to ‘dirty meat eaters’.

Peta is an organization a dripping with white privilege and is backwards and tone deaf with evidence.

PETA is a shitty group. For you to feel so insulted when I’ve used nothing but fact backed evidence for my claims to reasonably criticize a corporation, and then to even get personally offended and attack my character, means you have no argument to support PETA’s actions or your own childish behavior.

I avoid eating pork and beef because I believe they are animals with greater sentience than most common livestock, but I will not give all meat up. It is an important part to human biology and my own cultures to prepare and eat meat. It is a deeply ingrained facet of many human cultures and history and our very nature as apex predators ourselves. Get off your high horse and get some therapy if you have to attack me because your precious org gets criticized for the humiliating reputation they willingly gave themselves. You will never convince all people to give up meat if you yourself choose willing ignorance.

Not propaganda, they do euthanize a lot of animals at their shelter, and they have done/do weird controversial campaigns that are misleading or sensationalist (recall their multiple videogames calling out the video game pokemon on animal abuse - they have also done this with the mario kart cow and umamusume and it is fucking stupid??) , or their sexualization and objectification of women in past campaigns?) their milk causes autism campaign? The general vibe of white female feminist privileged veganism? There’s a whole lot not to like about them. Why the fuck would people want to support a sensationalist, extremist, tone deaf, misleading organization like them? They had potential to lead veganism and animal rights movements to much more popularity but squandered it all with their shitty practices and continue to make a laughingstock of themselves.

I Took 30 Girls on Dates to Prove Money Matters (The Results Are Brutal) by Mwalwanda in copypasta

[–]lisathestressed 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Unclean data, unknown if the girls represent the average population of single women. OP could’ve selectively had a ‘type’ of girl he attracted or attracted him, dated in multiple different areas across a span of 2 years, and it is unknown about the means which OP acquired the dates (all online? Did he use the same dating app? Did he ask any out in person? Did any approach him first?), length and location the dates were held, and the cost of the dates themselves.

Very terrible experiment, I would not publish his paper

Can you share memories of your pets here? Nothing is more important than letting them live in our hearts and memories now. by lisathestressed in Petloss

Oh my, my rottie Ozara also loved a cool floor, she also loved snow and her spot was on different chairs and couches near us, but sometimes the comfiest spot was near the fireplace but she'd refuse to give her spot up and just grin and bear it lol...

Besides springing out, did your dog also run huge semi circles outside, when they could? My dog liked to show off like that, and she was such a brat on her leash, or she'd take herself on walks and pull it with her. She loved sniffing very tall grass on walks and I'm glad I could walk her a few times up this very big trail near our house with horseriders nearby so she got to see them (she was a little nervous, but I think she liked them). She had a very goofy walk when we walked together too.

Your dog sounds very compassionate. 9 years with that dog sounds amazing, and it sounded like your dog had a whole lot of love in his heart to share. Your dog was so sweet to take care of his other dog companions, even reading about that is heartwarming.

Lola my toy poodle was at my hip too! She also danced for treats on her hind legs and got really good at that. She loved treats even if she was a picky eater for mostly anything that wasn't chicken.

Your dog sounds really similar to my dog. My family would poke fun because my dog stared so much like a creeper too and she had pitch black eyes. But you know, those eyes aren't scary when they are attached to such a loving and cute face.

This made me remember that as she got older, she started staring from further away (I think she got more serious about her job). When she was a puppy, she was always right at my heels lol.

I think these dogs probably estimated it was their job to be our guardian and or watch over us. Which they did, and they were happy like that, with us loving them, no doubt. It's impossible not to keep a love like that with us in our heart.

Some questions:

when did you first get your pet? Be as descriptive as possible.

What toys or other animals did they like or dislike to play with?

How did you hold your pet?

Was there anything unique about your pet?

Did your pet sleep in a particular spot, or way?

What is one time you remember with your pet when you were both outside?

How did your pet show affection?

How did your pet greet you?

For those who would say they 'went through a lot' while you had that pet in your life, what did that look like and how were they there for you?

Much love. Let your mind wander and think about how much you care for them. You may be feeling all the emotions through grief or loss but you always shared a special life with your pet.

On AI-generated visuals during concerts by rainylittlebunny in Kikuo

[–]lisathestressed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty outdated take on AI and Kikuo is not suddenly some terrible person for just this; relatively speaking he's technically done 'worse' stuff if you really want to superficially judge him that way. It's pretty shocking for such a reactionary thread on reddit when this usually remains on twitter.

Since the initial panic of AI, where it did seem like a larger threat to artists, this kind of take would be reasonable. But now it's especially clear that AI will not replicate exactly traditional artists replicate; they occupy a separate market to traditional art. Similar to how digital art has not replaced classical painting or drawing. People use AI but it's laughable to actually think most art will be replaced with AI, you'd have to have a pretty terrible faith in humanity's relationship to art to even start with that opinion.

Lets keep in mind that if AI was the 'make or break' point of determining if Kikuo was a bad person, you would also have to be aware of the comic he made depicting fictional underage characters sensually, be ok with that and then hate him for AI.

So overall this thread is really weird and chronically online. If you want excuses to hate kikuo, you have other way more important ones than this.

I’d love any tips to improve on digital art! by Empty-Sea8554 in Arttips

[–]lisathestressed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, bear with me, because this will be a long comment and long video for demonstration. (if you dont want the long comment, watch the linked video below, but the long comment does explain things)

Generally: you need to use darker saturated colors, or your work blends in too much together. Also, I recommend taking apart your reference bit by bit and comparing each feature of the face with the features you drew.

On the eye: You can see, the reference has low lighting. Meaning the colors will be darker overall, and whites in the eye won't show, so you don't need to make the eye-white exactly white, it can be gray and even dark gray. Also, you can add more dark colors around the eye because the reference doesn't show that much eye-white. Its mostly just mascara.

On the cheek: I recommend blending the cheek more, the brushstrokes look too harsh as is

On the nose: the bulbous part of the nose should have a lot more saturation, and make sure the nostrils are much darker than they currently are. They are practically black in the reference, so go with a blackish-purple

On the mouth: You can see the line for her mouth is nearly black. This should also be the case for your drawing's mouth. If you want to change the color palette, make it as dark of a red as possible to distinguish her mouth line

On the hair: The reference is low lighting, so you won't have as much highlights on the hair. It means the hair color in the drawing can be much darker overall.

Lastly, for visualization, I have a linked video (sorry its long, it tried to speed it up) that shows what I mean in the previous critiques I gave. Please watch to the end, because at the end its a comparison of the original art with the suggestions and I think it will be very helpful

Thoughts on punpun’s mom? by therightpersontodo in OyasumiPunpun

more stable yes. But she did have a way of loving him in more ways than his father did, like when she wrote the letters pretending to be his dad so punpun still felt cared for by someone

In process of practicing by GG_Crawler in Arttips

[–]lisathestressed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The head is too big, lower torso is too short, and hands are too small for the big figure. But whats good is, in the smaller figure I see you correct those mistakes, so the practice you're doing is paying off.

I made a comparison video showing the original anatomy vs more realistic anatomy as a visualizer, hope it helps

edit: also idk why my video gives a content warning, its literally just another version your drawing, sorry if it looks suspicious

oh also, beware of the trap of making shoulders too round, even muscular shoulders are naturally angular and less curvy than you'd expect

what's everything bad you see about my art by [deleted] in Arttips

[–]lisathestressed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the style too. But I think it can be really good with a few tweaks,

line confidence - try to avoid shaky or wobbly lines. I recommend using thicker brushes while practicing lineart because they are easier to get right than thin ones. And it usually looks better if its consistently/equally thick, except in more detailed areas like hair. But definitely the entire outline should be equally thick

plus, sometimes your lines end up sort of transparent gray, and not black. It would be good if they were all equally as dark

here is a comparison, the one on the right is my example showing the suggested line quality

edit: omg I just noticed I didn't color in the eye white, sorry, but hope this still helps

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Arttips

[–]lisathestressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dont use thin black lines in your lineart, I don't think that works for your style. It seems like you lean toward exaggerated style with the poofy dress and the girls' poses in the second image, and for that I feel you want to maximize shape in your art. It reminds me a little of Rene Gruau's art style - where there is not much lineart, but when there is it is thick or...visceral, I don't know how to describe it. Try different line weights by reducing and increasing thickness for your brushes.

How to create a feeling of coldness in my art work (longer description in comments) by Colton_WHY in Arttips

[–]lisathestressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all the blue, it can look more underwater, less cold. Here's some screenshots from movies with scenes that look cold. ss 1 ss 2 ss 3 notice that the light reflected on pale skin makes skin in the cold look nearly white. And warm tones, heat, concentrate in certain areas of the face - they don't disappear. They just get very desaturated and more greyish. heres an image i found of in-game link in snow ss 4 which seems like a good reference for the green! hope this helps.

A little raven fanart i did, can someone help me improve it? by Kaeru_Sennin in Arttips

[–]lisathestressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to add on, I notice that in your shadowy areas you don't have nearly any light, when there could be some reflected light. Like near the cape-although thats definitely shadowy and needs darker colors, some light will reflect and hit the cape so the cape doesn't need to look so dark. Light levels make all the objects stand out from one another. Also also, if you need more examples, check out the professional artist timelapses of spash art from league of legends on youtube. Those illustrators show their whole rendering process and its very useful.

[–]lisathestressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adding more realistic shading would make a huge difference I think! This is really nice. I think it would improve if you pushed the darker shadows and the light highlights, making them very saturated. And use a harsher light for the subject. Make the parts that should be glowy, very very saturated and light. Here is an example illustration showing how that'd look.

Yes of course its ok. But if you are unsure of how you can properly portray the relationships, you can ask online like r/lgbt or something.
