badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

More shockingly, apparently the meme is NOT an edit

Even more shockingly, that was a weirdly common artstyle in the 00s. And by "weirdly common" I mean if you go back and look at series by year you'll see it on the covers of multiple series per year in that era. That and the similar one where the eyes are also sort of extremely wide set rhomboids that are raised on the edge that's closer (but not close) to the center of the face and drooping on the sides that make a weird faux-pout expression that looks sort of like the character is a melting wax sculpture that's been squished.

I thought it was supposed to look unhinged, at least when it shows up in nge

I think you're confusing shinji-screm

(which mimics an extreme close-up with a wide-angle/fisheye lens) with

(plain ol' wideface)

No, it's cute. And they need to be protected like a rare creature.

Wrangling up all the mid-2000s moeblobs and putting them in a protective enclosure styled to look like a Japanese girls middle school where they can be safe from predators (the creepy character from every battle shonen).
