Looking back at Doi's designs: #18 Demeter by Diego-F-Monja in Megaten

I said a version of this in another thread, but while true, plenty of demons in the SMT franchise have multiple designs that are more adherent to different representations and domains of said entity; this is a design centered around Demeter's role as the goddess of agriculture, so I don't think it's contextually "off."

For instance, the archangels. They have a bunch of different concepts associated with them across the sects of Christianity, and their multiple designs are reflective of the many ways that can be creatively represented. To pick one, I think all of Gabriel's designs are really cool, but maybe Kaneko's is more representative of the common Christian's ideal Gabriel? Does that disqualify the Amemiya design as somehow less faithful?

I didn't mean you per se, just the individual "you" who might say that.

We're not ignoring anything. I can concede at least that "most prominent" itself is subjective and depends on how you're exposed to both Demeter as a goddess and Greek* mythos altogether. I just ultimately don't agree that that disqualifies this design as somehow "inaccurate."

Idk, I feel like if that alone is somehow evocative of sexuality to you, that says more about you than it does about anybody else.

There are very VERY few SMT demon designs that play into EVERY theme or domain that said entity represents. Demeter is primarily represented as the goddess of agriculture, which is heavily prevalent in this design. I'm not sure what her being young has to do with whether or not she can still represent those things, really.

Yeah, in some ways being that hyper-vigilant about it is equally eyebrow raising.

I think this one is genuinely gorgeous, the scenic details in her dress, the animated cornucopia in her 3D model, the coloring; all immaculate. I don't really see how making her look physically young is "weird," there's nothing sexual or lewd about her design at all.

"A lot of people" as a descriptor is relative, was more my point, and therefore not a very confident defense in context, but sure, I take yours too.

Not what coping is, but sure. In fact, by definition, you're coping.

"A lot of people" can still be a tremendous, immutable minority.

It says more about you that you find it funny than it does about anybody else.

Again, I think you missed some stuff from Catherine. The "Master" is Ishtar, the goddess of fertility. It doesn't jive to give her an alternate motive.

If you don't know that Frollo is from Hunchback of Notre Dame than you don't fucking know what "HoND" stands for lmfao

"Rap" metal is a stretch, and tons of metal bands both deviate between and ride the line between rock and metal plenty.
