I'm here to declare war on a specific anime girl aesthetic trope that is just the worst

Quinn Angstrom
last time it was the skinfang

Quinn Angstrom
this time:

Quinn Angstrom
that specific version of catgirl where the girl is just wearing huge gloves shaped like cat paws

Quinn Angstrom
god plurk PLEASE work with me

Quinn Angstrom


Quinn Angstrom
that shit

Quinn Angstrom
there's one in Endro but I couldn't find an image of her with the gloves on

Quinn Angstrom
but god it just looks terrible every time

Quinn Angstrom
stop it

AzureChrysanthemum
(For images from wikias like that I've found if you just delete all of the text that comes after .jpg or .png it'll show up normally)

Quinn Angstrom
that is what I did

Quinn Angstrom
I had to rehost it on imgur

Quinn Angstrom
and plurk image hosting is just completely fucked right now

Quinn Angstrom
anyway

Quinn Angstrom
giant cat paws are stupid and look stupid

Niamh Vibes
It’s aggressively bad

bluecanary
this is like the worst of both worlds

bluecanary
no opposable thumbs

bluecanary
and also your spine is straight up and down which means you have human-style back and hip and knee problems

bluecanary
injustice

Quinn Angstrom
you don't need opposable thumbs to be moe

bluecanary
how does she feed herself

Quinn Angstrom
I assume she takes them off

Quinn Angstrom
or if they're attached, just shoves her face into the bowl like an idiot

bluecanary


Quinn Angstrom

Sorry, but real quick, what is “skin fang”?

Quinn Angstrom
so some anime girls have one fang, to be cute


Quinn Angstrom
and then some, completely insanely

Quinn Angstrom
don't draw the line at the lip


Quinn Angstrom
so the fang just becomes a lip deformity

Quinn Angstrom
not as an error like. as a stylistic choice

fastest mario
it looks almost as wrong as invisi-fence

fastest mario
(thanks rugby anime)

fastest mario
also thank you, i was also wondering what skinfang was and i hate it!

bluecanary
it looks like her skin is melting

skerple
fate/astolfo was the first time I saw skinfang and I hate it

Quinn Angstrom
skinfang doesn't look cute it looks like an animation error

ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
skinfang always makes me think the character was made by waifulabs

skerple
Fate/ Fate / Stay Figma Astolfo Action Figure [Rider...
and then it gets put on the figures

The weird thing I've seen is Japan seems to just? do this???? with characters wearing animal costumes.

Quinn Angstrom
I wish they wouldn't

Snowdrops ミ☆
here you go, anime boys aren't safe either




Quinn Angstrom
bad

Snowdrops ミ☆
and it's been that way since at least the early 2000s because I remember Spiral halloween art that did it too

Snowdrops ミ☆
I wonder if it predates Di Gi Charat or if everyone's just been copying the cat gloves and boots since
