Somehow this isn’t parody.

    Also thrse people would get the fuck beaten out of them for watching “removed littlr girl cartoons” by their peers if they actually interacted with their “southern culture”

      It’s tragic, I was acquainted with a few of these types in high school and they spent all their days floating at the edge of normie cliques, silently rehearsing their fantasies of one day joining the military, instead of just letting go and joining me and the other abberants getting into shouting matches over who had misquoted Futurama.

      Good shows will have a lot of head and body shapes, but most of them don’t and it’s just the hair. IMO the reason so many of them have horns and tails and stuff is to make their silhouette more recognizable without potentially compromising the standard “pretty face” that most otaku demand.

      I think there are enough posivle combinations even when there is such a limited amount of traits you can vary that each character is unique?

          As long as they are unique you will de able to tell them apart if you see enough of them. This also aplies to procedually generated terrain.

          I never said they werent bland i agree with you there. I think blandness is kind of the point. I see so much media trending in that direction. Its probably easier to market.

              The point is that its easy to distinguish things once you are aquinted to it. So the weebs are not wierd in that particular sesnse. They are wierd for other reasons. I agree its bland but that does not necesarily make them hard to distinguish.

              Id go further on the second point. More hogs are going tl eat a bland thing than a thing with character since the latter may be too much effort. Or it may appeal to very specific tastes.

    I live innawoods, my car is splattered with mud from getting it out of my driveway when it rained. Many of my friends growing up were deeply impoverished (rusty-ass trampolines, sun-bleached toys strewn over the yard, “ignore Uncle Jim, he won’t talk, he’s playin his online poker”, wife-beating happening in the other room stuff) and I had to go to all their horrible evangelical grifter churches when I slept over on Saturdays.

    My point is that I’m just as if not more “southern” than the dorks like this guy and I’m a communist or some shit LMAO OWNED

    Who’s “they?” The vast swath of the eastern seaboard defined by western european immigrants like the Italians and Irish, the “fugeddaboudit” and “BAHSTAHN” guys that everyone thinks of when they think of New England cities? The west coast people known for wine exports, distinctive music and film cultures, drug culture, etc?

    Southern culture is now largely defined by hollow rhetoric and hypocrisy. They want to be rednecks with big trucks but they whine about how much they have to tip the food slave who brings their DoorDash order. They talk constantly about Christian values and then indulge in hedonistic lives and go out drinking alcohol to excess and fornicating (which the Bible explicitly says will bar you from entering Heaven volcel-judge )

    The other half of the founding fathers who wanted to just do feudalism started a civil war then lost isn’t a culture, I’m sorry its just not if your culture dosent have a unified language, geography, religious/cultural and maybe the bare minimum is like 1000 years I don’t want to hear about it.

    But you know what I’m not even gonna go their as their are problems in defining culture like I just did… the south dosent have a united BBQ culture let alone a full blown culture so get the fuck out of here. grillman

        I always found the states early goverment, you have the liberal striver types but think the French went to far but then you got straight up Roman style slaver who treat their slaves worse then the romans. In my heart of hearts 💕 I believe the American revolution is what happens then a revolution is entirely made up of opportunistic elements, I dont even think they belive it was gonna last as long as it does.
