Anime "tourist" is the stupidest term I've ever heard.

I don't really love the term because it's often used in a incorrect way, like to demean someone who has a slight disagreement with someone in relating to anime. I've been called a tourist before for saying that liking loli is gross lol. But there is a difference between being a casual and a "tourist." A casual is someone who simply likes and watches anime. A tourist typically refers to people who don't like anime or doesn't care about anime but only joins the hobby to change some aspect of it. They also tend to be the type of person to hate anime fans and the general culture around it.

This is extremely ironic coming from you. Half of your posts are literally just creating an us verse them narrative. Your so obsessed with creating an us verse them narrative it's in your signature after all.

I don't see anything wrong with anime tourism. It is very fine for me.

@DesuMaiden well oc u would say that, you woke degens would like nothing more for us regular fans to just roll over concede & stay quiet so all your woke friends can worm their way in and start pushing your gay woke ideology & propaganda, start smear campaigns & use cancel culture

it's one of the many reasons why gate-keeping is important

@epidemia78 Are androids and ninjas and shit supposed to be photo models?

What's the trend? Of not having every female character face look so perfect it's actually uncanny? Do you believe every male character model out there looks like a dream coming straight from a nerdy girl's fantasies? I'm pretty sure most women don't dream about Mario...

Then there's the fact all these comparisons usually use the same 2-3 screenshots of the same 3-4 games because... well... cherrypicking screenshots and examples to make an inexistent point is an internet tradition. Here's Ciri's face from the same segment of the trailer:

Honestly it's very close to her W3's face. Same jawline, same chin, same nose, same eye shape. The lips changed a bit, but that's about it. I think what people see as "uglified" is just the change to her eyes and eyebrows color, and increased photorealism. Eyebrows' color does change one's appearance significantly. Being a witcher and mutating does change one's eyes' color, and can make their hair turn white. Geralt does have white eyebrows in the screenshots I found. The character is also supposed to be older.
Regarding photorealism (something gamers are asking since the advent of 3d games)... It's not going to make characters sexier. More realistic skin textures, the shadows under her cheekbones or on her lower lip's scar... Can't have your cake and eat it too.

I'm sure all the outraged weebs look like Johnny Depp when he was 30 and would instantly turn down W4's Ciri if she started hitting on them IRL... I mean, she's clearly "uglified" in that screenshot I posted 👀 I personally think her W4 trailer face is incredible and looks both prettier and more realistic than her W3 face... But it's not like I'll play the game anyway, I've never touched a Witcher game, they've always looked edgy af to me *shrugs*
