What is your opinion about the "potato" phenomenon we are currently witnessing in Japanese games...

Its relevance to this thread.

This is definitely going to be a good thread.

what are 4cucks triggered about this time?

etrian odyssey V just came out yesterday and it has those chibi characters in it and when you ctrl+f "potato" in the threads you get 250 results. it's very relevant to the thread and very relevant to my desire to die in my sleep. i hate meme words. it doesn't even make sense to call them that.
being that EO V is such a recent big release with them in it I thought it'd be relevant to also talk about how shit the threads are. i got called a racist by the normalfags in those threads.

You can already start posting potato porn.

Let me look it up.
Well yeah it looks like half of those are potatoes.
I wouldn't play a game with an art style like that.
Are you sure you don't want to fuck a baby?

Sounds like a personal problem.

The entire game isn't one race is obviously chibi. This has been a thing for a long time I'm surprised you're just learning about the art style. You know what else has a race that exists in chibi artstyle while humans are normal? Here's an example, it isn't that rare for one race to be chibi.

Yeah, I like lolis as much as the next guy but I find lalafells ugly. I thought that's why they were called potatos, cuz they look retarded.

i'm so degenerate i'm not attracted to human beings, even 2D ones. you know when hentai artists draw pin-ups of sexy big boob anime girls posed next to cute little critters, like cats? i would rather fuck the cat.

I don't sexualize them. In fact for quite some time I couldn't understand why there is a race that looks like walking toddlers in game at all until I started to interact with other players.
Oh boy I wish I was still as oblivious.

Nice trips but can provide a webm.
Also when one race in game is properly proportioned and the other is chibi, then you game doesn't have coherent art style and is shit.
Lalafels aren't chibi though, they are fucking babyfuckers' bait.

Kill yourself then.

why who cares

go back to furaffinity you fucking faggot you're not welcome here

Your parents obviously.
If they aren't dead that is.

Chibi cancer has existed even before SNES games.

my mom's too liberal to give a shit
who cares

I take furfags any day over closet pedos.

That explains everything.
Proceed with suicide my dude.

why who cares

Every time a furfag gives me this response in a game they proceed to block/report me.
Might as well do the same before hanging yourself and your degenerate mother.

they probably block you cause they know you have nothing to say but ad hominem
this is boring
who cares

Is this the loli thread?

I've never heard such a thing.

That's cancer.

We're discussing potatoes not lolis, there's a difference.

Pedo

The Japanese have actual legitimate interests on both the content creation and consumer side, so they aren't all "baiting" each other all time. I understand the West is different–everything is irony and pretense and ruse cruises–but Japan is not the West.

Also I have no idea what potato phenomenon you're talking about.

Well there you have it. Painting, drawing, animation, music, writing and acting are no longer legit artistic expression. user has spoken.

No, this is Patrick.

Not small enough. This is the potato thread.

tfw no chubby potato elf

I knew that this was a porn dump thread, pathetic.

I don't know what to tell you man. Life has a clear purpose and a clear goal. You are failing. Saying "I don't care" doesn't make you win. What kind of gamer :^) are you if you don't even play the game of life?

This kind of stuff loses a lot of it's impact when it's being said by someone who's chosen to spend their time posting on the internet-equivalent to a sewer drain.

what the fuck are you talking about exactly?

...

how can anyone dislike these things

That's no user.

Literally Lmao'ing at your life you fucking goys.

LALAFELL MASTER RACE

You know the drill at this point.

I'm not mentally ill.

I'm sorry, user, but you should probably kill yourself.

...

no you fucking don't in the EOV thread there are 0 mentions of potatoes unless you're on halfchan or some shit in which case go back and never return you dumbass

Do people actually not like Charlotta? She is a fun character.

MASH THE POTATOES RACE WAR NOW

The Lalafell is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a potato and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

FFXIV is the only game I've seen with potatoes so far, and as a whole they're desert-dwelling jews who are responsible for a good amount of the bad shit that happens to you. Krile and Nanamo, however, can do no wrong.

4chan pass prices so they migrate here?
Imagine if hotpockets did their job.

CalArts with higher detail. Literally it. Slap some bugeyes on these bitches and incel. weebs will be all over then

Potato mashing is best done with your dick.

I like her. I just really don't think potatoes are attractive, which is a shame because most of them would be if they were at least 2 feet taller.

Their character designs have nothing to do with calarts and aren't even similar.

In general I think the Harvin fate episodes are some of the best in the game. Charlotta's 5* fate perfectly captures her character.

You knew deep inside I was talking stylization, stop acting like a retard. You are smarter than that, get your shit together.

There's no connection between them.

Yeah, I can't doubt that. I've had Charlotta ever since I got her in that guaranteed chance at the beginning of the game. I wish Sierokarte was a playable character since She's probably the cutest Harvin

They don't look like they'd be very good for sex

...

Yeah, she was my draw. I always try to fit her into my team if I can, but water has some great characters.

Who are you quoting?

>>>/freech/

Who are you quoting?

No problem with that either way.

I always liked Philosophia and her shitpost-powered flying top.

...

This entire fucking site is composed of anons jerking it to lolis, and you're going to start throwing stones at other fetishes?

...

It's pronounced
PAW ~ TAW ~ TO.

You can only choose one friend

Since when was this ever a problem? There's hardly anything out there as is.

They are daughterus. It's inevitable that the 2D family gets bigger, eventually.

It's possible to give them a toddler-like body though.

Why is this thread still alive?
This isn't vidya

GAS THE LALAFELL, POTATO WAR NOW!!!!!

Don't question it, they are watching.

bunch of racist faggots in here

?

He is blowing things out of proportion and was probably subtly asking for a porn dump.

guess that thread is over

enough about the "potato phenomenon"
lets talk about the real issue
MMO's/RPG's that have "stick animal ears on a human female and call it a completely different race"

FUCK ERUNES
FUCK MIQO'TE
Tenderly and passionately copulate with Mithras

If it ain't got a snout it can get the fuck out.

Because going much further than that is dangerous waters. Furries ruin everything they touch with their autism

What, you don't like sexy anime midgets? You some kind of faggot, sport?

Reminder >>>/tot/ exists

TES do it the right way
but even if you look at ESO all races are fucked up there

it's probably because making armor/weapon models/animations for different races is just a lot more unnecessary work to do
so they just say fuck it and make same skeleton for all races

I wish it was more active.

...

Me too man. We should try to contribute more often

...

Yes let's meet up on Discord.

I see you're a man of taste. This author has a lovely artstyle.

Dude what

I use to dump pics there but I gotten lazy. I use ATFBooru to dump toddler stuff nowadays now. I still kinda lurk the board. Good thing a user made a drawthread, even if its still kinda dead.

80% of pedo's are also homosexuals

I think I've donated 10 gallons of splooge with that doujin.

3 YEARS OLD DUDE

That's some low quality bait

Correct my numbers please

2%? 4%? of the population?
40%? 60%? of HIV cases?

No, 3 years old girl, I'm not a faggot, I'm not into boys.

Nah, gay pedos are a small minority thats overshadowed by the huge number of straight pedos.

Then again, gay pedos are probably among the LGBT garbage.

Very true. I have a hard time reading doujin these days though; too many h-games made me need a good couple hours of edging and some level of interactivity to really enjoy myself.

for

You are still a degenerate who masturbates to babies and toddlers of all things.

so uh, you guys DO mean potatoface, right?

No, we've been discussing vegetables this whole thread

I miss 90s Japanese Character designs.

Me too.

Is this a potato?

no that's a baka

My ears, they bleed

You let me down, user.

Well at least some artists still draw proper shit

Point being:
Ara>Loli

Yes, a man of taste among this sea of trashy pedophiles.

Oppai Loli

Oppai toddler.

Look at this shit taste.

Oppai Fetus

Give me proper oppai!

Proppai!

Hahaha, you meme waifu got Burch’d faggot!
So did mine, Rip Chun Li

pettanko ara~ ara~ tbh famiglia

...

Do not open the above SWF.

you just make me really want to.

dead

dammit

Here is something he drew. Reminder he still draws like this while most of the western world can't into traditional animation

What the f*ck does potato even mean in this context? Also, why are you all sexualizing cartoons?

(you)

no this is doge XDDDDDDD

The joyus madness of this mixed with the visuals in the anime are great. I wish they'd done more.

Poe Taye Tough

po-tae-tuff?

That's not an answer you fag.

(you)
Wow, you must be thirsty.

...

This is an outlier, not even remotely close to representative of 90s character design.

Meant to reply to

TOOT

I agree, lolis were much cuter in the 90's.

I have no idea how the term got taken on to describe chibis. Last I checked you called someone a potato because they look like a downie which is also why the potato kids in Warframe are called as such. The "totally-not-loli" halfling races like Harvins and Lalafels don't even remotely look like they have downs.

Both are only good when they're put together. If you have to choose between loli and ara and you don't pick ara? Face it man you're a fucking pedophile and need to off yourself immediately.

What?

Only pedophiles claim that lolicon is pedophilia.

I don't see a resemblance.

I don't think this is a video game phenomenon so much as a mobile/MMO shit phenomenon

You don't?

So if I fap to this it's not gay?

That's as retarded as saying that only cucks claim that cuckholdry is degenerate.

There is literally nothing wrong with being a pedophile.

Don't change the subject.

There's nothing retarded about it.

Just like if you kill someone in a game you're a murderer.

t. Salon writer

So you mean to tell me that it's not fucking retarded to assert that everyone who's ever labeled cuckholdry as degenerate is a cuck?

I mean to tell you that only pedophiles claim that lolicon is pedophilia.

It get that the both have round, doughy faces but half of the listed qualities could describe anime faces in general.

Thats a pretty retarded comparison to be honest, if you do it because you like videogames and you want to win like most people then ok, but if you do it because you fantazise about it or something like that then theres something really wrong with you.
Just like if he faps to the bara dude and fantazises about it while doing it, its pretty fucking gay allright.

Nigger, you don't have to be a pedophile to claim lolicon is pedophilia. You can spend all of 30 seconds reading through a loli doujin and see the characters explicitly state that the loli is like 10 years old in many cases. How the fuck is that not pedophilia?
If you're viewing content in which the imagery and context is that a 10 year-old is being acted upon sexually, then you're a fucking pedophile. It'd be fine if someone just liked fapping to flat women with smaller measurements (Nothing wrong with liking smol women that are flat), but I see a whole lot of people trying to defend doujins in which it is clear and without argument that the girl is underage as not pedophilia. And they should all be gassed

The same thing applies here. If you fap to imagery of little girls and fantasize about fucking the little girl represented by said image, you're a fucking pedo.

Because it's not a real person, doesn't look like a real person, and isn't meant to be seen as a real person?

No, you are.

If the age of consent is 18, then 17.99 is underage too. Is that pedophilia now too?

I'm going to pull out all of my shitty community college psychology and say yes and no. A lot of times, when people mention something they like about loli, they'll mention legs or hips, think Elin or Kanna as a more recent example, that are either pear shaped or long, which is distinctly a secondary sex characteristic, I'd say that those people are likely not pedophiles, but really just like petite women (those exist because stunted growth is a thing). But I've met enough people who consume lolicon related media that are legitimately pedophiles that I am unable to say with certainty that there is a clear separation. As for the 2D/3D barrier for stuff like that? I can see it as a paraphilia, human sexuality isn't very black and white so I'm not really willing to straight up discount that as being illegitimate. Fuck, I haven't fapped to 3D in twelve goddamn years.

Also this conversation pops up every goddamn time there's a loli related thread, no matter what the board, and I can't think of a better example that lolicon media as an aesthetic peaked and declined in 2006/2007. Maybe shit will get more interesting when the new CCS anime premieres.

I've never seen any indication that there isn't a clear separation in Japan.

Definition of pedophilia:

Consider this example:

This is the image of a man. Loli is the image of a child. If you are masturbating to one of these, you will be experiencing sexual fantasies about the subject of your image - either a man or a child.

However, there is also this point:

There are a lot of different styles which accentuate different features. When the image is clearly modeled after a petite, flat-chested adult, that's one thing; when the design is modeled particularly close to a real child, then you have a separate matter entirely.

There's also the content differences. If the character is very clearly a child in body and mentality, having sex with an adult, that's pretty firmly in the pedophile camp; if it's the mind of an adult "Guess I'll just masturbate" comes to mind then it's a more grey area, but probably still pedophilia.

No, because 17.99 would be underage under legal definitions in certain regions, but not prepubescent under any biological definitions. You're confusing legal terminology with biology in order to intentionally misdirect others.

Here's a question. Why does it matter? Do you honestly consider people jerking it to drawings of little girls to be a concern, or do you just like pointless semantic arguments?

This is a drawing so i'm technically straight.

What's really depressing is when you get the doujins that are brutally self-aware. I shouldn't be having fap material telling me a more honest story about exploitation in the junior idol scene than most news agencies, but if life isn't just goddamn surreal like that. The phenomenon of people getting legitimately invested in the plot of fap material reminds me of Murakami's theory that higher and lower art in Japanese society has merged to the point of being indistinguishable. I can't say he's too far off the mark when shit like that happens.

Probably a translation error, it's supposed to say 1000.

Right, because you hear about straight men jerking off to Yaoi porn all the time. I can honestly say I've never seen a single instance in which a straight man has admitted to masturbating to some bara yaoi shit. But I'll tell you what I have seen. People's tastes in hentai reflect their real world tastes. Have met countless people, online and otherwise that like ara and are real life milf hunters. Plenty of preachers of "flat is justice" that were eyeballing the flat girls and not the bustier broads.
'No u' is not an argument.
No, because if you fuck a 17 year-old because you thought she was an adult based on her physical appearance, you're not a pedophile. Wanting to fuck someone that looks like they're pre-pubescent makes you a pedophile. As pointed out here

What is "I'm not gay I just like traps"?

Unrelated, but this reminds me of something from fucking years ago. But I knew a fairly straight, sexually active guy who got rock fucking hard watching the first Iron Man movie. I don't know if he was closeted, or if there was something more fucked up going on there, but I'm still trying to figure out what the hell that was about.

What is a closeted homosexual?

So you've never met a straight man that jacks off to yaoi because every time a straight man tells you they jack off to yaoi you decide they're secretly in the closet and not actually straight? Cool.

...

I like ara, and 3DPD "milfs" are fucking disgusting.

they are cute
thats all

Ara is great but real milfs can be pretty fucking hard on the eyes, the best looking ones are always photoshopped to hell and back.

Or spend disturbing amounts of money on products to make them looking younger

According to the Kinsley scale? You're kind of gay. You're attracted to the feminine features, yeah, but you wouldn't be as interested if there wasn't a six inch pole of taboo flopping around down there. I didn't go full retard and waste a college credit on Human Sexuality just so I could pass up an opportunity to tell you how much of a fag you technically are.

So congrats, you're kind of bi and you like girly men. Nothing wrong with that, noble pursuit, but Jesus, just be honest with yourself. Nobody is honest with themselves these days and it's killing us as a society.

stop denying it user, you're a full-blown homogay
of course you could decide right now to stop being a homogay

Maybe he was just into /clang/.

Does not apply here, because lolicon is not pedophilia.

is the one who said underage, and now you are trying to cover for him by lying about me confusing things and trying to misdirect others.

Lolicon is not pedophilia and will not magically become pedophilia no matter how many of you pedophiles try to claim otherwise.

It wasn't an argument, it was a statement of fact.

You said nothing about physical appearance, you just said underage.

Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.

Oh no, I'm fully aware of the precise degree to which I crave dick, I'm just saying it's a little silly to say "I've never heard a straight man talk about yaoi" when otherwise-straight guys lusting after traps is so damn ubiquitous.

The appeal is the combination of female aesthetics combined with the sexual drive of a male. It'd be like having a fuckbuddy that's always as horny as you are and that also isn't a complete pain in the ass to hang out with when you're not fucking each other. Traps might be gay, but they're also top tier.

The flat adults? Then who cares? There's bound to be people who are into real kids that look at loli, but if you're trying to suggest that loli could turn you on to real kids then you're shifting blame like a nigger. No one gets turned into a child predator looking at drawings. If anything it might be preventing some of the people who are into real kids from acting on their urges.

Flat adults are rediculously rare though. Most just have small tits which is a horrible middle ground like a participation award. The absolute best are the ones that are washboard flat but also work out their lower body for rediculous hips and ass that aren't just a mountain of fat slowly pooling below their waist. A fit woman with wide hips and a flat chest is a true diamond in the rough that won't age like milk.

Okay, what part of me trying to argue that lolicon is pedophilia makes me a pedophile? Unless you're brain dead it should be clear that the implications I'm making are that lolicon is pedophilia, is for sick fucks, and shouldn't be defended.
The whole point of my argument is that lolicon is fucked up and you're fucked in the head if you enjoy it.
Notice how I pointed out the character was a loli first and the age of the loli second. Because wanting to fuck pre-pubescent looking girls is already suspect, then you can basically confirm it's pedophilia when you see an overwhelming number of doujins confirm that the character is of an age that is pre-pubescent.

The argument there isn't that it might be preventing actual pedophiles from acting upon real children or to shift blame. The argument is that people's taste in fictional eroticism is often indicative of real life sexuality.

You're either a pedophile in denial and projecting, or you're strategically trying to direct people's attention away from pedophilia and towards lolicon.

You said:

There are no pre-pubescent girls in doujinshi.

And yet there is no pedo epidemic among Japanese otaku, and the last and only known sex crime against children committed by an otaku occured nearly 30 years ago, and that guy had very obvious issues. Meanwhile, various non-otaku parties in the West can barely keep their pants on when there are kids around.

And why does that matter? Even if every single person who liked loli was also attracted to 3DPD, it doesn't mean anything until they actually do something.

Your reality sounds like a nice one. Unfortunately the one that everyone else lives in still has witch-hunts. Thought crime is absolutely a thing, the difference is that the punishment is dealt out by mob justice.

He's not saying it'll make you a child predator, he's suggesting that it is indicative of pedophilia; which it is in the case of toddlercon and lolis without secondary sex characteristics. I genuinely believe so too after some of the people I've met, but it's not necessarily the case.

This is really far away from the original point of the thread that can easily be summed up as 'Japan likes cute things and always will.' I'm much more concerned about us hitting peak moeblob this season.

If I ask around enough in engineering or space vidya threads, I might just meet him again.

How many threads has this stupid fucking argument ruined over the years? And not a single person will ever budge from their positions.

We've been at peak moeblob forever, and in dire lack of Super Robots

I like feeling morally superior to others on the internet.

At least it happened in an already shitty thread this time.

Perhaps he got a boner from the sci-fi military hardware and the idea of being an ancap billionaire with his own custom mech suit. This is a perfectly natural response. Sakura is daughteru tier

A friend of mine presented an argument that, while traps are in fact gray, trap-on-girl is actually the straightest kind of porn there is. I laughed at first, but started seeing the logic. I'm sure being drunk off my ass helped.

...

Potatoes are cancer and gross. I didn't care until they invaded my EO, but now it's war

...

Like clockwork.

That's right, you can't challenge anyone's posts because that's just "defensive" and "insecure."

Nigger

Yeah it's impossible to make lolicon fags understand that they have in fact pedophilic fantasies.

Projection.

Lookie here, this is pedoshit no matter what your excuses are.

B-cups are perfection you worthless reprobate.

I hope the FBI arrest you for killing all those virtual people in video games you sociopath.

Question, why are they $10 bills?

It's not.

I just ran over a jew in GTA IV, you can't stop me.

You are right although it is literally stated that the character is 8 years old it clearly isn't the author's pedophilic fantasies. Thanks dude.

It's not a real person and does not look like a real person and is not intended to be seen as a real person. Age is completely arbitrary in manga. Stop grasping at straws, pedo.

Yeah, this is not a pedo fantasy at all.

It isn't. How long are you going to keep this up, pedo?

...

Sasuga Mark.

The answer to that question is always "Yes".

I'm not the one getting of to it

Are you basically saying loli threads are shit?

You are a pedo.
