People expecting a kiss / marriage / having kids in romance manga pisses me off. Like it may or may not happen towards the ending, but when two characters are barely holding hands stop spamming "HAVE 10 KIDS NOW!!!!!!!!!!1111" Even if it's a joke it's not funny.

I agree. Tired of the 'just fuck already' comments. People can't appreciate a cute and innocent romance nowadays. No wonder they don't have a gf themselves.

My possibly controversial opinion today is that it's ok to go modify the programs or set of rules of something you own as long as it only affects your experience. You want mods on your version of genshin that turn the girls into bimbos? Go right ahead, it's not like the other players are forced to see it. You should be able to alter your own game for your own enjoyment as long as you aren't ruining anyone else's fun. And anyone that cries and throws a fit about what other people do in their own time should just stfu.

That's a pretty normal take to have

Moralists on social media would make you believe otherwise. Specially when it comes to nsfw mods of games.That's a pretty normal take to have

The thing about social media is that you can just put it down and it will no longer affect you. Personally I've always been a firm believer of you can do whatever you want with your game so long as your not cheating against other players online.
P.s you wouldn't want to see my Skyrim or Sims mod list

Due to recent events I had to fact check if everyone on this website is still an actual human being and not whatever is going on with that guy.

My Controversial opinion is as follows : that the Piracy act ought for to be taken as the Default M.O. concerning to All matters digital - be It Scientific research , Judicial records such as those that are shared in the Open archive known as P.A.C.E.R. for the U.S. of America - or respective equivalents for other Sovereign nations , games , and / or All Digital media - and for the situation of revenues , Gaming corporations especially , I'd rather have that donations be made when one rightfully feels the pull of work that got put in the product , and thus consequently , to achieve this ; the most Important scourges known as " Digital Rights Management " , Copyright laws , & al. must get abolished immediately - as in this Information age , to shackle one with chains unseen is but a Grotesque offense against the spirit of humanity pertaining to freedom.

I can understand it when it's a series that keeps teasing that the couple is going to have physical intimacy or is clearly horny-baiting the audience, but woooo is it tiresome having the "seggs when?!" crowd show up in the comments of every romcom.
I don't even need an "innocent" romance, I just need people to understand that not every series has to tell you when the couple becomes intimate.

CGI was meant to improve certain dynamic scenes and speed up the creating process of studios, not to produce cheap worthless material and replace essential workers. So there's nothing wrong about saying "it's bad because it's full CGI".

Ehh that's partially untrue. CGI isn't cheap or fast, there are things you can do to speed up the process for sure but it's not fast and it's never been a "Speed up" because of how meticulous it actually is (there are positions where someone is hired to sit down and animate the dust in a scene for 8+ hours a day for months). Even back in the old days of Practical effect domination you had people making entire paintings with stunning detail so someone could edit the scene with people in it. Star Wars was one of the films that did this.
Generally speaking CGI is functionally meant to be invisible, in fact most movies are full of CGI from top to bottom but you just don't notice it because the studios were allowed to do their job. When you start to notice it is when a company like Disney shows up and makes a CGI studio redo everything in a movie with only like 3 months left, essentially bugging them constantly with shot for shot on everything and then never being satisfied until the release date is near.
The fact movie studios openly lie about which shots are practical and which are CGI is also pretty terrible. So yes, it's meant to help improve dynamic scenes but it is not a speedy or cheap process. I don't know what you mean about replacing essential workers. I'm not really sure how that is a thing unless you're talking about AI?

The time required to create a scene with lots of movement is higher if you have to draw every single frame than if you can adjust and automatically recreate every frame. Either combining both or creating a 3D movie requires a lot of manpower, the problem is when CGI is used to substitute the drawn animation part even if it means looking bad and when they reduce the number of samples and variations for 3D to a "passing grade". Something becomes cheaper when you cut corners, so they reduce the number of hours required for something by hiring less people, it's pretty simple.

I thought we were talking about live action productions, but you're talking about Anime production. I can't say too much about how the Anime industry uses 3D, because Japan isn't as skilled in that department unless they're shelling out big bucks for the few people who seem to be well versed in it. What I do know is that generally you wouldn't normally use CGI in a vacuum. It's part of the shot so you're bouncing back and forth between 2D animation department and the CGI department. Generally speaking, if you have CGI involved then you're planning to mix the two together from start to finish.
Right, I can see that being an issue however you can mimic a handrawn style flawlessly in 3D, so I don't agree with that part being a problem. If they choose to use 3D as a main player on the stage, I think that's fine. However, you are very right when they use it poorly to cut costs, but that stands with any production.
Also it's not too much of a matter of "Samples" and "Variations" more so the shading template that goes into the rendering engine that allows it to match styles in the final product from the compositor. Assuming they are using a shading system and not just texturing it, slapping some lighting on it and calling it a day. It often doesn't seem like these productions have an NPR shading system in play and are just winging it so maybe that is what's happening.
Right but this is a problem with the anime industry as a whole. If 2D artists are barely getting paid, then you wouldn't expect a 3D one to do any better would you? With that in mind, it seems unfair to say "It's bad because it's full of CGI" when productions full of CGI exist all the time without notice. Wouldn't it be fairer to say "It's bad because it's full of bad CGI"?
