I genuinely fucking despise how much waifuism has infected the cartoon world and I feel completely alone in having this opinion. I'm beginning to get female character fatigue simply because of how obvious and cynical it has become. What's the point of even having female representation in cartoons anymore if they exist purely to satiate waifufags?
>>
>>150532927
Nah, you're not alone.
But it's here to stay and we've just gotta roll with it, the people who enjoy it whip out their wallets in unison and en-masse, the corporates listen, and that's why things are like this to begin with. No chance of competing with that and it seems pointless compared to just writing your own stuff for yourself or something.

Could I introduce my waifu to you, anon? She was trained by two of the best jedi in the Republic and even went toe-to-toe with Lord Vader herself. Not to mention she has the best DSLs in the galaxy.

"Waifuism" brain damage has been a thing in the cartoon nerd community since before most of /co/ was born. Never forget the fat retard who "married" Minerva Mink in 2001.
>>
>>150532927
oh nooo not my precious cartoons lol faggot
>>
>>150532927
it’s always been this way but I definitely get where you’re coming from
>>
>>150532927
I get what you mean but waifus is the only way to get men interested in a unisex media or to get them to accept a strong female presence in their media.
>>
>>150532927
Same, but extend it to shipping in general. So many decent shows just fucking destroyed over stupid ship wars.
>>
>>150532927
I'm right there with you actually, you see the thing is the rabbithole goes further then just "waifu material" even tho shit can get blatant like that pedo jew and his powerpuff girl self insert or the people making porn outside the canon of their shows.
Female characters cannot be depicted as being obediant, submissives to a man they're married with or even just normal by pre 1990 standard.
So what do you get, absolute dog shit, feminist compliant slop that can only find sympathy amongst what? brain dead chronic masturbators, simps who have come to idealise this garbage and ofcours, the lesbian feminists themselves.

Everything mainstream that is mainstream is infested with this shit and it fucking shows no mater where you look.

Good thing you fucks don't get to enforce the rules

For the love of god I'm so tired of IPs becoming consumed by shipperfaggotry to the point of basically being unable to discuss it critically (or even neutrally) because some dude with a chip on his shoulder for 10+ starts haivng a meltdown because some random ship didn't happen, this has happened to way too many fandoms for things I've been invested in at some point or another

4chan was made by waifufags. You fudgepacking queer

>>150532927
??? I literally don't even know what you're talking about. I think you've just got woman fatigue, which is relatable.
>>

ik exactly what you mean bruther. if you can't beat em join em
>>
>>150532927
id be fine with waifuposting and coomers if they actually engaged with the media the characters are from, but a lot of the time they know nothing of the series and actively try to stamp out discussion.
R34 culture becoming what it is now and turning into an actual fucking industry where large amounts of money is exchanging hands has been a genuine cancer on internet communities and fandom as a whole.

>>150532927
What if something with hot girls is simply what I want to make?
>>
>>150532927
you seem angry

Coom threads are the only reason to come to /co/ anymore. They're better than ragebait threads and bitching about wokeness threads, at least coomer threads are about ENJOYING something.

didn't tiny toons end BECAUSE of waifuism?

Honestly no, you can be a chronic masterbator and not be a simp.

>>150532927
I feel like something shifted, but I don't know when. Early internet animations, you'd get things like stick figure fights, homestar runner, charlie the unicorn and some coomer stuff,
but nowadays it feels like the coomer stuff is a lot more prominent

The worst is that unlike in anime, we don’t even get real fan service like beach episodes or bath house scenes or whatever, I hate using the term but it’s “safe horny” crap to appease terminally online queers, underage fags, and women. We’re forced to accept more and more uninteresting female protags that won’t even show the goods to compensate because that’s “harmful”, meanwhile desperate gooners will take whatever scraps they can get and say shit like “uhhh why do you want LESS women are you a fag?!!?” when you bring this up

You mean outside of /co/ even? I haven't heard anyone call a character their waifu in ages outside of this board.
You just mean "people who find female characters hot" don't you.

I’m less mad about waifuism because they’re not real, I’m more mad about artist simps. The kinds of threads that pop up everyday about some normie twitter artist who happens to be hot whose comics are all about them being hot and quirky.

THAT is ruining /co/

I noticed this when the MAWS season 2 trailer aired because my conversations with people about it were
>Y'know it's interesting how they're bringing Kara in I wonder what they're gonna do with her
>YEAH OH MY GOD SHE'S SO KEWT
>Yeah and having her serve Brainiac is interesting, I wonder what he's gonna be like
>OH MY GOD KARA SO CUTE!
>I hope they put more effort into the villains this ti-
>CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT A KEWT KARA IS!?
>How about Jor-E-
>KARA IS SO KAWAIII!

I'm just here to say that if I ever watch MHA it will be because of the girls.

Don't bother, anon. Watch Chainsaw Man instead.

Right is neat and cute and left is weird and offputting. Cartoonists broadly figured this out a very very long time ago and the japanese did as well, which is why anime is presently so popular- they are focused on making things which are aesthetically pleasant or at least stylized in a manner the creators so choose, rather than just hewing to realism for the sake of it. You see similar issues in video games and films where trying to focus on "realism" results in weird and uncanny shit that isn't necessarily actually good.

The way the facial features are placed is off, as is the nose itself.
>t. shitter artist (draws like right)
>>
>>150535366
It's this. I have 0 problem with waifufags but the unfortunate fact is there are some cartoons/comics which you are just not allowed to talk about on /co/ without the conversation IMMEDIATELY being steered into coomposting cancer, with an intentional and concerted effort to prevent the conversation from moving towards a more productive discussion.
>>
>>150537118
Many coomers have an easy time resisting the whim of actual women.
>>
>>150541070
You must be talking about yourself, since those fags don't have waifus over there

Is everyone here too young to remember Tumblr? I've been around since this kind of shit blew up. Stop whining about "coomers", You're throwing pitchforks at the branches and not the tree root. The reason why sexually starved and socially awkward people flock to these things It's largely because they have an unhealthy regular life. The number of lonely people, and people that lack mental health resources, or even the desire to seek them out, is increasing rapidly. You're only going to see more of this because the core issue is getting worse. If you really hate it that much, the best thing you can do is try to gatekeep creators when they just get started, and probably keep them well fed with Patreon money so they don't get snatched up by normie companies. That might work.
