“you talk like a smart/pretentious person” actually I just forget simple words constantly and am forced to rummage through my brain for the nearest synonym, which is usually twice as long and needlessly specific
i wasn’t originally gonna say anything about this because i know it’s more or less a funny observation but i feel the need to point a few things out
homestuck(mspaintadventures) sprites are placeholders, a style of art that is meant to be as generic as possible so that artists are free to interpret their features as they will. dark hair, glasses, this outfit, the rest is up to you. they are even canonically aracial and their bodytypes have been known to change in-comic. that’s what this means. homestuck(mspaintadvendtures) is also, despite it’s popularity, an indie comic that isn’t as widespread as it seems to be.
disney is a multi-billion dollar legacy corporation that has been around for generations. whether they wanted to or not, every children’s movie they put out sets an example and a standard for impressionable young children. so when they make the same generic, big-eyed, small mouthed, round cheeked, small chinned white girls as every protag or female lead, it becomes a major issue, because it’s a beauty standard that very few people can actually adhere to.
so yeah, disney and their current direction in character design is still worse than this.
WHATCH OUT FOR SHARKS!
