@YangBang928@frankiep423 Didn't say that. Her design does try to reflect that part of the lore. But were completely ignoring that she was designed by somebody else in order to look a certain way and fill some kind of purpose. What I'm saying is that the design choices aren't her own but the design team's
@Reng0o0@frankiep423 I fw this pretty nuanced take but tbh the fact that she has a half opened jacket with her robot tits out and completely uncovered robotic neck and arms ruins the theory that she's "trying her hardest to look like a human" for me
@YangBang928@frankiep423 not the same thing at all. Respecting a fictional character's sexual or gender identity ties back to also respecting that identity in the real world. What I'm saying is that "it's her choice!" is not a good argument against a critique of a character's design
@LunaRoseOW@frankiep423 Tbh I do actually fw your theory and get where you're coming from but I do still find it hard to believe that this was the reasoning behind the design decisions and not creating an attractive south east asian woman that sells skins #15
@LunaRoseOW@frankiep423 I really feel like the design could work if they leaned more into the human looking side (then the argument that she wants to hide her omnic features actually makes sense) or more into the omnic side. This way it's stuck in a weird in-between point
@frankiep423 Yea but we also know Shion's lore (or at least that she's a robot) so the design team doesn't need to communicate that she's a robot to us IF she was really trying her hardest to be a human. Like I said, the theory makes sense but the rest of the design completely goes against it
@frankiep423 but isn't that the point? that she wants to look more like cyborg? you can't really nitpick which design choices are for lore and which ones are for us. That's like saying Reaper should wear an overwatch badge to make us understand he's former ow, even though he'd never wear that
@frankiep423 If she wanted to try so hard to look like a human, why does she have a half opened jacket with her robot tits half out? Why does she not hide her robotic arms and neck? I kinda get where you're coming from but the rest of the design really doesn't support this theory
@jpetrella4@NidhCthon@epppyyy Breaking news! The average american gets confronted with traditional storytelling tropes present in non-western media and gets completely baffled by its anti-individualist messages! More at 11!
@jpetrella4@NidhCthon@epppyyy not make him a better person. And yet despite that, he deserves a second chance, that's why pochita had to make that decision for him. That's what I took from the ending and just because it doesn't follow the traditional tropes of character development doesn't mean it's bad
@jpetrella4@NidhCthon@epppyyy First of all, we literally only see 3 of his friends come back, not all of them. Second of all, near the ending, his character has deteriorated so much that he wouldn't be able to make that decision for himself. That's the entire point of part 2, constant abuse of this child will
@jpetrella4@NidhCthon@epppyyy "I need everything in my story to be explicitly shown otherwise it doesn't exist. Nothing can be implied and there is no room for interpretation. I am very smart"
@jpetrella4@NidhCthon@epppyyy and why would you assume that the new world is 100% good? The point is that even though his new environment is still pretty abusive, he finally gets to at least be the country mouse for once, after being forced into the lifestyle of a city mouse throughout the entire story
@raw_pictures@RNGsmiles@galadps everybody is jumping you for the Pine pick but low-key there's no way you think Kai and Glister were ever at the level of dominance that Quartz is at right now. Both of those players were never in the best in their role conversation during their peak like Quartz is
@AsheConstella the entire point of the ending is that Denji became an objectively worse person due to his extremely unfortunate circumstances that he had no control over and yet despite that he deserves a second chance, catch up man
