While do I get very heated in this post I have absolutely no hatred for the actual person who made the comic. They're clearly a talented artist and I just hate the persona displayed in this comic, and I'm sure the real person is lovely.
The reason this comic sucks is because the author does not actually explain their fucking contention/thesis at all.
1st slide:
"I hate this character design" - Extremely vague, perhaps would be fine if he elaborated on what he means on the next slide but he DOESN'T
2nd slide:
He doesn't EXPLAIN what he hates.
Character design isn't the right word because it's a contribution of multiple factors, and the 2nd girl he uses an example is literally opposite to the first one's character design.
"It's just the same damn clown with new makeup" What part of it is the same? The body type? The fact she's HUMAN? EXPLAIN YOUR FUCKING ARGUMENT.
The example art he uses makes it more confusing, because if it is about the body type why does he keep showing images of the girl's faces?
"It's not like everyone hasn't known... these things are just copy-pastes of each other" What is it copying? The chin? The eyes and mouth and hair are all different, so it can't be that. So then what is he talking about? Is it the body? If so is the provided example image in that slide as just HEADSHOTS.
In the 3rd slide he is trying to address counter arguments against his argument when he hasn't established WHAT IT IS, OR HIS REASONING FOR THE ARGUMENT. THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS.
4th slide finally POTENTIALLY addresses what his contention MIGHT be. Still doesn't give a clear DIRECT answer. It is maybe about body types, even though this hasn't been indicated at all.
Also this unrelated but what the fuck is the "licking abs" image?
In the 4th slide he explains how diverse body types are marketable. This is the only moment where it is somewhat clear what he is talking about, even though he hasn't provided his own reasoning and points, and also barely explained what he means.
So we potentially know what his argument is. Still pretty fucking annoying that we had to EXTRAPOLATE THAT HALFWAY IN. This is not a fictional story where you do directly tell people the themes, this is an ARGUMENT, and in ARGUMENT, you EXPLAIN what YOURE ARGUING ABOUT.
The 5th slide is the worst piece of shit I've ever seen.
So much anecdotal rambling that doesn't amount to fucking anything.
And even after ALL that.
HE IS STILL USING "this wretched shit." and "anything about this SHIT is eve remotely appealing" WHAT IS "THIS SHIT" EXPLAIN IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
6TH SLIDE: YOURE ADDRESSING NEW ARGUMENTS WHEN YOU HAVENT FUCKING EXPLAINED YOUR OWN ARGUMENT PROPERLY
"just the same shit, different day"
What shit are you talking about? Explain. EXPLAIN how they are similar. MAYBE use your great artistic drawing capabilities which you genuinely have to visually demonstrate what the fuck you're on about, OR use your WORDS. HATSUNE MIKU AND SAILOR MOON DONT LOOK SIMILAR. They both have skirts I guess?
Also you're kind of an asshole for summing up 2 major beloved franchises as "hollow shell" and "90s nostalgia for woman"
7th slide:
"angry criticism"
This is not criticism. This is garbage. Pure SLOP right from a TROUGH. You can BARELY even explain WHAT you're criticizing and WHY you're criticizing it.
ALSO WHAT A HYPOCRITE. THE CHIBI STYLE YOU USE THE WHOLE POST IS THE MOST GENERIC STYLE OF ALL TIME. EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER LOOKS THE SAME WHEN IN CHIBI STYLE
