Comparing the style to alegria is spot on. That’s how I feel about a lot of modern anime art. So flat and boring and safe. I have stayed away from the Sekai fandom so this is the first time I’ve heard of any of this. That sounds so insufferable. And I agree, the vibe I get too is that the Vocaloids are just kind of “there” as a funny quirky side show. The aren’t being respected in the way they should be.

>>2247
Honestly most modern anime feels like it wants to be Kyoani without incorporating any of the passion or life that studio is know for. While I think there is a slow push for more cartoon-y, Imaishi-inspired work, we still have a long way to go before we shake the souless cutesy style.

Vocaloid fandom's one of those ones where fanon overtakes canon - so the fanon of Kaito being an adult is treated as canon kek. I think he's an adult too but it's stupid for people to get mad at kaimiku because ~muh pedophilia~ even though Kaito will never have a canon age. And they're not real anyway.

I just want Project Sekai to shut down and for all the newfag vocaloid fans that come from it to fuck off

>plenty of problematic themes.
People who go after creators for "problematic" content are fucking losers. The only time it ever does anything is when the creator themselves caves to the horde (like the author of "I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter"). HBO isn't cancelling the new Game of Thrones show because thousands of people on Twitter are upset about the rape/incest.

The only "real" reason you should delete a fanfic is if you plan to dovetail bits of it or file off the serial numbers like 50 Shades.

That being said, it's understandable if you want to save future you the trouble and at least abandon the handle. How outrage snowballs is impossible to predict these days.

>I'll have to look into her old work in fandom, sounds interesting and I'm surprised she's so open about it.
It's less that she was open about it and more somebody dug it up trying to stir up some trouble. Naturally it went nowhere. Natasha Allegri also did shippy fanart before getting her own shit.

OP I sort of used to have an audience for my art. I understand you. Really. I ran away and left my account abandonned. My art is still out there but I simply abandonned everything because of tsort of the same feelings as you described. So much guilt and disgust too. I couldn't even have the time to delete everything because of how panicked I was. I couldn't entertain an audience. It went from a small group of friends to a big number of people. It felt like my art was constantly tested and it felt like i had to draw for others to keep them entertained. As if you have to upload youtube videos every week to keep your viewers coming (that's the only comparision i could find). I guess you keep creating and creating but the burn out is insane and you end up creating for others and not yourself.
The worst for me was that I have created art that is problematic. The changing times have showed me how harsh problematic artists get it. Some of my art has caused a bit of drama too. I couldn't handle all that "internet responsibility".
In the end I couldn't handle it, i just abandonend everything. Stopped posting and I know some people wonder where I went and I honestly hope they all forget about me. Now I only feel comfortable posting my art in an anonymous context because at least that way I am forgettable and people only save my art is they genuinely like it.
I don't know if its the right thing to do. It has caused me to be extremely anxious about ever posting my art online again under any screenname and be much more critical of myself (which sometimes erases the fun). I reallly do hope that if you do move on this won't happen to you. If you do move out maybe don't do it in a traumatic way like I did, maybe that would help ease the process.

With fandom, if it's not making you happy then there's no point in doing it.

You should be writing for yourself and writing things that make you happy, and if that's no longer anime fics that's fine. Fans will move on and find other authors to follow.

Same could go for harem MCs

someone pointed on LC that all these dudes are made to resemble the typical Japanese young man — black hair, dark eyes, light skin tone and a modest body frame—a sort of Japanese John Everyman, a blank slate that any down-and-out 20 something can project himself onto.

>>2148
yeah i figured tbh, cuz it's so common it just cant be a coincidence

>>1875
>never had a real job, never have had sex, never have had an IRL boyfriend/girlfriend and I live a NEET life

At least they're happy. You're much worse than them, because you're a bitter bitch and you should go back to lolcow.

>>2095
Sigh if it was fast the nonas would probably be ftms and men so what can you do.

>>1725
No problem! I think it's a cute picture, haha. Happy to help

I wish I was it desu.

Thanks, anons! Yeah, you’re probably right about YouTube ASMR. I’ve always avoided it since amateurs tend to have boring voices which are even worse than boring stories honestly, but I’ll probably have a better time skimming there rather than soundcloud, DLsite or gonewildaudio

Unrelated but I recently picked up ‘The Goldfish's Corpse Lies at the Bottom of the Swamp’ on a whim and I’ve been playing it a few times on repeat. Fuck, I’m such a sucker for dark romances, ESPECIALLY with younger brothers. It’s pretty kino

>>3194
Good taste, anon. Parasite garden rarely fails in the dark department. And good news for you: it’s getting an official (digital) manga next month.

DLsite. Plenty of circles produce pwp works, e.g. Love Voice has decent audio production. You can also go for 1-man circles like Evangelist. monoBlue works too but he tends to get a bit too rambling-y for my taste. AreaS, ASMRistZero, Sex Drive, Milky Spice,… always a safe choice desu. I especially like Meropure but they has some plot elements that can get pretty confusing if you don't know basic Japanese.
