Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@@EllaTheKawaiiNeko The word loli definitely still has sexual connotations, so you might want to tone it down.

@Eel That pretty much just means it lost its meaning. There's a ton of words that we see differently now. It's the way of language. As we go farther into generations, words are sure to change.

@TeaCatherine Although it does, the term is genuinely just being used as a term to describe a child looking character. Not many people think of it as bad. In fact, a lot of people hate it when they see bad art of them. But I can stop using the term here, cause I don't wanna be banned or anything like that. And I swear, I'm not trying to argue, don't kill me.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Okay, that's fine but you should probably be more careful. On another note, isn't it quite funny that we seem to talk about waifus more than most of the boys here?

Not really- You don't see it as a big term because you're desensitized to it, but it still very much conveys that people find the characters attractive- the lolita complex.

You can see it in your own posts: You use the word in the same context as waifus. Sorry if that offends you, I'm not trying to imply anything about you personally, we're not trying to have an argument with you or "kill you", but that's simply the case: the word still has more meaning than you're willing to admit, and it's not a positive one.

I would like to formally apologize for me starting this.

@TeaCatherine It is pretty funny we talk about them more than the boys. Like, they always say girls aren't on the internet, but there's a lot more than people think. That's why I always put my actualy name in my usernames, cause I've been mistaken for male before, but only when my name wasn't in my username.

I think the discussion has remained civil and as appropriate as possible, so no need to apologize. However that's true that we perhaps should stop while we're ahead.

In an attemp to change the subject, I released a very unfinished version of the mascot for my company.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Oh, right I suppose that makes sense. I can easily believe someone mistaking you for a boy just because there are a lot of stereotypes about people who watch anime.

@TeaCatherine Yeah, it sucks. Plus, once I'm really close to someone, my teasing side shows, and people don't expect that for a girl. Though, once you get used to me, it's easy to tell when I'm sad or something, as when I'm not feeling very well, I tend to tease less.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko I looked at your mascot, quite cute but sort of eerie. Gotta go for dinner now.

@TeaCatherine I know it's eerie. I gotta change out the mouth and eyes, caus eif you zoom in the eyes, they're just staring into your soul.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Well, dinner has finished, and I have returned. Yeah, I didn't zoom in on the eyes, I meant the movement, I guess.

@TeaCatherine Ah. Nothing much I can do about the movement, I'm limited to sliders and presents.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko I think part of the problem is that anime style always looks better in 2d.

Just saw your reply, I wanted to try out the wave 3 courses after I got up and had coffee. Yeah I should be around that time, I'll let you know when I'm ready or if something changes on my end.

@TeaCatherine Currently working on the model. I gave it less creepy eyes and better hair. Thank God that this program lets your create your own hair strands. It's tricky at first, but once you start, creating your own hair is pretty fun.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Yeah, I kind of have a bit of a fear of messing around with editing software because if I do anything slightly impressive my dad will assume that something to do with computers is the perfect career for me. I did make this profile picture, but I wish I had done it better. (It's just a character from XC2 called Pandoria but I added a Santa hat and changed the background.)

@TeaCatherine Parents like that are weird. Either way, just uploaded the new model. Go check it out if you want.
