Lolli Of The Army Gossy Enix Leroux Oh, so since I'm so skinny and with a super fast metabolism [I'm 15, 5'5, and weight 95lbs.], I'M anorexic? neutral Last time I checked, I just ate two bowls of scrambled eggs this morning.
First off, there ARE skinny girls out there who will eat tons of food a day, and NOT gain a single pound. Ever thought that NPCs could have a high metabolism or they just eat the right stuff?
Second of all, THEY'RE CARTOONS. Oh, and GAIA has ALWAYS been Anime Style. In Anime, you'll see skinny girls, with huge ******** boobs. Because Anime-Fanboys love those skinny girls.
Thirdly, they're not slutty. Sasha looked like a slut BEFORE this update. I like her look NOW. She's covered up, and looking mature.
Honestly, why bawl over some pixels? All of them look AMAZING.
I don't share your opinion that they look "amazing." I didn't say you were anorexic. But if suddenly one day you dropped 10 lbs. I would question your eating habits, because you were ALREADY small to begin with. And then to get even smaller? That is just unnecessary. Gaia is not an anime. It might possess some anime influence in style but it isn't anime, nor are the Gaia artists bound by the rules of Japanese animation.
Anime girls come in a stock size because Japan has a thinner population on average. Also it is easier to animate using the same size for all the girls. Gaia arists only have to draw ONE body for every NPC store, not thousands of frames. @_@
Seriously.
It is art they do not have a life so they cannot "drop 10 lbs." That's just ridiculous to even try use as an argument, as they you know aren't people, they are drawings.
If your going to use that then why haven't you questioned that they have been wearing the same clothes all these years, or even better why the children haven't grown up? Or even how they stand in the same exact position and say the same things all the time. OMG, they must be some kind of robot. :0
Please. Stop acting like they are human, because they aren't.
Gaia is not an anime?? o_O Hmm, they seem to have a MANGA that revolves around Gaia and the NPC's. Oh hell, you must have missed that.
They may not be bond to anime style, but have you ever thought for a moment that all of the artist the Gaia has hired uses an "anime" style? Do you really think that there isn't a reason for that?
Wikipedia Anime (アニメ ?, taken from half of the Japanese pronunciation of "animation", pronounced [anime] Anime.ogg listen (help·info) in Japanese, but typically pronounced /ˈænɪmeɪ/ or /ˈænɪmə/ in English) is animation in Japan and considered to be "Japanese animation" in the rest of the world.[1] Anime dates from about 1917.[2]
Revolving around the style commonly seen in Japanese cartoons, yes, but aside from that one halloween movie type event, the NPCs have remained largely un-animated.
One cannot argue that the style in its appearance has changed, leading everyone to the assumption/to infer that there is a new artist that Gaiaonline has hired to do the NPC/comic/whatehaveyou art. However, in the transition, the NPC's designs have in affect lost a good ten/twenty in some lbs.
Sasha was terribly thin before, yes, but given the musculature in her stomach we can no longer see, that can be excused as a natural body type(such as yours). However, this is not the same for all of the women NPCs, who have, in effect, appeared to have dropped weight to unhealthy levels.
(This isn't even touching on the lackluster effort that appears to have gone into the art itself, such as pixilated lines and the obvious difference in Vannessa's art, as compared to the others.)
However, I think a good thing to keep in mind is that not everybody is fortunate enough as to have your body type. Hollywood, the media, fashion, have been presenting a largely unatainable body to young women for a very long time now, something that has largely affected social views on women, how they should look, how they should dress, etc. This has led to a very large drop in self esteem for girls who look and watch these images, and cannot obtain them, therefor becoming 'freaks' or 'outcasts' or simply 'not good enough' in their own eyes.
Gaia Online, as a sight that reaches out to thousands of children not only across the country, but in other countries as well(I happened to meet a good friend who lives in New Zealand, actually) should be sensitive to these things.
An artists style can, believe it or not, be changed to produce a healthier look overall. The artist has certainly been able to do this with the newly designed men, why not the women as well? Creating an unhealthy thinness comparable to Linsey Lohan's anorexia stage is simply silly. There's no reason for it.
Under the guise of ageing? 'They're older, get over it'?
Why not add a few pounds if they're older? They're probably into their twenties now, their metabolisms have likely slowed down as compared to what they were when they were teenagers, why not?
And yes, of course I know they're not real people, simply drawings, but when one draws something based on the human form, in the little Gaiaonline universe/manga, they probably have innards and hearts and blood as well...hence, vampires.
That applies the logic used on humans in the real world, to them as well.
And really, there's no need to get insulting.
