I’ve been thinking about this a lot here lately. I know for the longest time I never knew real people were used for video games/most video games and thought the character’s faces were made up unless it was someone I could definitely recognize lmao. But using face models is very popular now. But to me, many times the video game character still seems/looks different from the face model so I just always see them as two different people completely unless it’s a situation with graphics like Death Stranding. Other than that most of the time I don’t see the face model as the same as the character, even physically.
I also have been thinking about this because I learned Leon Kennedy’s face model hates being associated with Leon Kennedy now bc so many fans started flooding his posts and talking about Leon Kennedy and sexualizing him. Like, Leon’s face model is handsome and kind if resembles Leon but they look very different. And why go for him when you have Leon himself??? And I saw an old Reddit post about the face model and voice actor for Connor from Detroit: Become Human. They said seeing sexual art of Connor made them feel gross because Connor is an actual person. Or people comparing Trish’s face model to her in game design for DMC and saying the model is prettier than Trish, etc.
So, idk I’ve just been thinking about it. Is the video game character and the model the same? Does sexualizing the character = sexualizing the actor? Do you guys view them as two separate entities?
Personally, I do view the characters and their actors as separate entities, because they are, after all. They only share the same face and maybe a few other aspects, but in the end, they are different and exist in different spaces/ universes. I think this is the healthy way to think about it and people should absolutely not harass the actors for simply doing their job. But oh well...it's unfortunately something inevitable and actors will have to deal with such people too. It's also understandable that some would take ofense and be bothered by people sexualizing their characters, especially if they grew attached to them and came to identify as them to a point and if people harass them because of a role they once played. But the internet will always do its thing and it can't be stopped. For thr most part, I think sexualizing characters is fine (depending on the context and as long as it's nothing too problematic). They do not exist and can't be hurt. Franchises earn a lot from the gooners' pockets too. But when it extends to their actors, which are real people with feelings and conscience, it's bad. All they did was do their job well. It's not their fault some people didn't fully develop their frontal lobe.
THE BEST FUCKING BODY TYPE RAHHH. Fat ass and fat thighs with some wide hips, it’s beautiful. Dokja with pear body shape…mmmmm. Kim Dan with pear body shape….yummy. Haemin with his breeding hips. Gimme that. I’m telling you, pear shaped body type is the absolute best when it comes to twinks.
In almost every BL, the top likes fucking the bottom while someone is watching. Or doesn’t gaf. Even if they’re incredibly possessive and wouldn’t want their lover flirting, cheating, someone else liking them, etc. Which kinda makes no sense bc how can some of them be so jealous and not want some other person liking their partner but also enjoy doing the boombayah with a crowd of people watching Anyways, I find it very interesting that almost all of them have some sort of exhibitionist kink
its totally some kind of ownership thing LOL. you're def right, it's partly an exhibitionist kink but you also mentioned possessive tops... possessive tops want to show the world who belongs to them so i guess that means having sex in front of people??? "his butt is mine and only mine" or whatever...
bro what are YOU reading???i rarely see stuff like that ???
I think its kind of like an ownership thing like the other person said. Like you can look but you cant touch or some shit i agree tho, what the hell are you reading LMAO
So many times I click on smut and some random shit pops up that WASN’T IN THE TAGSSSS. Even worse when the fic didn’t differentiate college or high school setting
It wasn't tagged as explicit too? My condolences...
It used to let me have 2 pages of history, but now it’s only letting me have one. So sad.
Same same idk what is wrong
The second page of my reading history has randomly disappeared?? It’s never done this before. I refreshed and it’s still not there
Mine have disappeared for more than 2 weeks.....
I’m talking about stuff like the rain cycle, how volcanoes erupt, how rocks are formed, mitochondria is the power house of the cell, the light spectrum, how many amendments there are, the presidents, algebra, stoichiometry etc. I have come to realize I basically forgot everything I was taught in school. The moment a school year finished, all the stuff I learned disintegrated in my mind It kind of sucks because I don’t know basic shit
It makes sense the way school is set up you’re learning simply for a test and not to carry with you throughout your whole life. Stuff like that in which you have zero interest in is not going to go into your long term memory.
I remember the gist of how things works, but not the exact scientific terms and specific details
Even things I found interesting I forgot. I just have a hard time remembering things for some reason, idk
If I had talent, I’d be making cool af webtoons and manwhas. My imagination on paper would be amazing. I’m so sad I have no drawing abilities God nerfed me because he knew if I had the ability to draw and make my plots come to life I’d be too powerful
I'm the opposite i can draw but I have zero creativity
I can totally understand what you mean, I had exactly the same problem!
ugh real you can stil write novels maybe someone will want to work with you or somethjng
Making a webtoon takes a looooottt of work and is veeeerrryyy stressful with little pay. So maybe it’s a blessing in disguise..?
I made a rant about shitty gangrape slop torture porn ML’s and highlighted how I wanted to kill them. I did this twice btw. And both times, in questions AND as a manwha topic, the post completely disappeared! I don’t think Mangago appreciates me being detailed about how much I hate these stories and how I want to brutally murder the ML’s in them
Wanna cry bc I’ve noticed my memory has become so so bad and my ability to spell, speak, and knowledge of grammar as a whole has severely depleted. I forget the meanings and spellings of basic/common words all the time, can’t remember any names if anyone or anything anymore, things I did today/the day before, etc. My brain is just overall trash rn
It's best you consult to a psychologist when you can, I'm not entirely sure why this would happen or how since you are a stranger and I do not know your personal life, nor am I a professional in any. So I obv wouldnt be able to give you any strong advice. And I dont want to state the obvious with common advice like walking to somewhere like a park, or journaling what you saw or did today
I wish you good health in the future and wish your memory gets better as well stranger, or kim dokjas thighs lol
