I love Morrowind so much that I refuse to admit to its ugliness. I will choose to believe that the less-than-perfect graphics simply enhance the alien look and feel.

Thigh highs don't enslave, they support and embrace the legs
Pants enslave your legs. Free yourself.
Take on me is a great one! but gotta get the voice really warmed up to have a chance at it
I used to enjoy this series of VHS tapes in the late 80s called "Terrific Trips" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrhVMYKOhvQ
Seeing DOOM for the first time was amazing. I'd seen Wolfenstein 3D, but I couldn't stand the graphics and it made me nauseous. DOOM looked much better and the music was cool too. I would watch my dad play for hours but I didn't play it myself until my dad gave me the cheat codes (As an 8 year old girl, I was too scared to play without invincibility lol, I'd panic and quit as soon as I was taking any damage). I loved exploring the levels and trying to find the secret areas.
Alpha Centauri was incredible.
Yeah they used rotoscoping to do the animations. It turned out amazing and captured such realistic movement in just basic pixels.
That's a good question. Some anime styles, definitely not. Other anime styles, maybe. But it definitely doesn't feel "childish" to me in the same way anthropomorphic animals do. It may be my personal experience. I associate anthropomorphic animals, and the particular art style of furries, to media I consumed between the ages of like 2 and 8. I wasn't exposed to anime until I was a young teenager, so it doesn't really have that association with childhood for me.
I really do find it fascinating to analyze these biases, because I do consider it an irrational bias that I have. I can analyze the reasons for it, but it isn't really a logic, just a feeling.
I find the anthropomorphic children's cartoon aesthetic of furries to be extremely cringe. Its juvenile and ugly, and then when its sexualized or people are making fursuits, it becomes exponentially more cringe.
I think if furries had a better art style and less weirdly anthropomorphized, I might even be on board.
Edit: I just want to be clear that I don't hate furries at all and have friends who are furries who I love and respect. I'm just trying to be honest about what I find off-putting about it because I imagine there are other people who have a similar "cringe" reaction to the art style and translate that into hate.
What are moderators supposed to see? I was added as a moderator on m/stinkbadgers and I can't see any panel with tools. The only thing that's different since I was made a moderator is that I have a "moderate" option in the "more" menu on any thread or comment
My ideal system would have two things to vote on.. whether you like/agree with a comment and whether you think it contributes to the discussion. So you could upvote an entertaining quippy comment but also vote that it doesn't really contribute anything meaningful, and you could downvote something you disagree with while still indicating it adds to the discussion.
I doubt people would use it correctly, but I think its a nice idea in theory.
