Re: HAZBIN HOTEL

just saw a character from this canon on a tdm and it's about to be the first time i ever sent someone a DNI in this hobby

i can't tell if the character is poorly written or if the writer is great and the character is just awful but i don't want anything to do with it

I keep seeing people declaring hh/hb as the new Homestuck but like... homestuck in its time was almost fucking impossible to avoid and so obnoxious in its specific homestuck-isms that it was almost impossible to tag one without running into something truly obnoxious, like text quirks. I remember it was kind of a running joke to be the first one in a game to make an infodumping network post about the troll romance shit. Casts with 10 different people were common and there were casts in pretty much every single game. It hooked a huge variety of people, everyone from otherwise LA-only rpers to players who previously only shiny-hopped the latest seasonal anime hunks. It was everywhere. EVERYWHERE. And I know we're smaller in general now, but I've seen like 3 games with no more than 2-3 characters between the casts then the same like 5 accounts on memes. The characters are a little weird and edgy but you can tag one without immediately being slammed with canon specific bullshit the way you always were with troll characters.

As a veteran of this mediocre corner of the internet I urge everyone to be real and honest. It is not comparable to homestuck AT ALL besides being VERY ugly as well.

This and Helluva Boss try to be the show that curses the most. It gives me second hand embarrassment to watch.

And people complained South Park was bad with the cursing.

what is the appeal of this overdesigned garbage and why do we not hate it with the zeal we do mcus, etc

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

you must be new here

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

you've somehow gotten such contrarian brainrot you think popular things are hated more than they're liked

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

sexy character designs means cishet men like it so it's automatically bad

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

[(Anonymous)]

from what i can tell the story hooks people enough to play and the designs are appealing enough to reach a broad audience. genshin also is open world so it appeals to people who enjoy open world mechanics. (that was my main reason not to play because i don't enjoy open world games)

i think it also helps that it is cross-platform, even if the engine isn't optimized for genshin. it makes it easier to get people into it.

Ignoring the bait. How long until people start complaining about wuthering waves too I wonder.

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

Blandly inoffensive and generically "pretty" skinny twinks and waifus plus basic bitch archetypes

it's a boring rpers dream

[(Anonymous)]

how long before people start making character profiles for the characters in withering waves??

DRAGON AGE

[(Anonymous)]

changed the new game's title from 'dreadwolf' to 'veilguard' and made the characters player-sexual like dragon age 2 and baldur's gate 3 instead of giving them their own identities like in inquisition

happy fucking pride month
