    Your scatter grid is not represented correctly. Photo realistic would be the polar opposite of cartoon or toony so these items should be on the same axis. Heavy stylizing would mean very formal and the proper polar opposite on the other axis should be the anime style since the eyeballs and body parts are disproportionate to the image. All fixed now...

    I have to go to work today, but I spoke to a friend about it. I trust his artistic opinion over my own. He wasn't quite sure what I was talking about, so I sent him the two images. He said I am correct about, Photo realistic and Cartoon is the other ends of the spectrum. But anime is not the opposite of Heavy stylizing. In his opinion, he explained the correct axis would be a saturation line between Detailed to Abstract. Anime is a Japanese word that means animation, but it is also a style of its own, that could fall on several places on this grid and not just one end of it. After our talk this morning he asked, "What the heck are you working on over there, that you had to call and wake me up at 4 AM?" I replied, that if I told him, people would know, and that information could put him at risk. Best just go back to bed and forget I ever called you.

    1. I could perfectly see the Image OP posted without an issue since the creation of the thread, I don't know what technical issues the first posts are experiencing

    2. OP didn't make this Chart, Here is the Artist who made this chart https://bengaly.art/post/171394325469/the-only-true-compass-have-fun-calling-ur-friends posted on 28 February 2018

    3. and that being set, my artistic inspiration and influence is inbtween Anime and Toony, but mostly greatly influenced by Kemono artists

    4. I need to mentioned that Asian Anthro artists are called Kemono (translated literally into Beast/Beastmen) and have an incredible Distinguished artstyle compared to the west
    Just copy paste the definition of wiki from the booru, since it does better job explaining

    • Characters that are mostly proportioned like real-life humans
    • Usage of a lot of realistic textures in spite of outlines
    • Attempts at anime characters in this game just look like strange bugs or goblins especially if they're guys

    The term "furry" is often used to describe anthropomorphic characters in general, not that I agree with it and believe that there should be a distinction between anthropomorphic characters in general and the term used to describe a subculture.

    yes, it is used wrongly - and usually in a derogatory manner to boot, so i will damn well verbally bitchslap anyone i see saying it every time it comes up

    and the distinction ALREADY exists, really - 'furry' only applies to the people who are part of that particular culture, not their characters or any other humanoid animal - the correct term for the latter is ANTHRO; that's why it exists​​

    I mean, I'm willing to bet if you asked the majority of people who aren't knowledgeable about the subculture to describe the characters Judy and Nick from Zootopia, the automatic answer would be "bunny" and "fox" respectively.

    Because "Furry bunny" and "Furry fox" just sounds stupid.
  • well...i think people would at least say 'talking' bunny/fox in that case...but essentially, yes​​

    Furry has become such a Bastardized and homogenized Term over the years! The correct Term is still ANTHRO
    What are you gonna call a character with No Fur? Furry? They DON'T EVEN HAVE FUR!
    • Anthro Mammal with Fur chars are called Furries
    • Anthro Birds chars are called Avians
    • Anthro Reptiles chars are called Scalies
    • Anthro Insects chars are called Insectoids
    • Anthro Plant chars Flora Fauna
    Just call them Anthro. It's the Correct Term and has a Massive range! Even Insects and Plants can apply!

    If you want to use definitions, then "anthropomorphization" refers to the process of ascribing human characteristics to non-humans, not human shapes. For instance, claiming your car doesn't start one morning because it's "tired" would be a case of anthropomorphizing your car.

    However, we've been informed that words have no objective meaning and in fact mean exactly what the person using them wants them to mean, so instead froggy leftist pancakes.

    If you think about it, objectivity doesn't exist because the only way for something to be objective means removing all subjectivity which means removing all non-omnipotent observers from the situation, but once you do that there's nobody to even think about the concept of objectivity to give it meaning. Nothing is nothing but it can't be nothing because nothing is nothing!

    How did you arrive at that from what I said? I did say that words have no objective meaning, but that doesn't mean that its meaning is what the speaker wants. The meaning of a word is whatever is communicated by using the word, so to the degree it has a preferred meaning, it's whatever the majority of listeners will understand it to mean.
  • jaazaniah1jaazaniah1 Posts: 5,424 Arc User
    There's what the speaker (if attempting to be truthful; i.e. not playing word games like a politician) thinks/hopes a word means, and then there is what the listeners understand it to mean.

    At some point an objective meaning has to be defined. I guess maybe that's when a certain percentage of cultural undertow takes hold. The claim that words have no objective meaning is actually false. Humans determine objectivity, hence words can have an objective meaning. Yes, that means that objectivity is actually subjective, but that's the weird world of perception based on senses that give us input that we cannot verify as absolute that we live in.

    The rest of my post answers that. To put it more simply: because if we don't we can't communicate using words. Not sure if ya heard, but doing that is kind of a big deal for the entirety of human civilization, so kinda important.

    It pretty much is, everywhere except philosophy departments. My inclinations are more toward engineering - accepting the concept of an external reality is part of that.

    Yes, and I'm sure someday we'll figure out a way to sense that external reality in absolute, undeniable terms. Until then, bridges and power plants are just constructs of consensual reality. Also when we figure how to do that, philosophy pretty much dies.
