I think this person’s point was lost when they drew the creatures to be very cute as well.
The artist draws themself and they’re allowed to judge their own looks however they want,
Even if we would disagree with them.You’re missing the point the comment was making
How? The comment is saying they’re cute, the artist is saying they aren’t.
No, the comment is saying they are drawn cute, when the whole point of the artists comic is that they look like a goblin when they don’t.
Ah, i see. It’s not that I’m missing the point of the other comment—no, you’re missing the point of mine.
I don’t understand. Are the characters in the bottom frame supposed to look unattractive or undesirable in any way? Is that so for both or just the one on the left? If so, well, I don’t see it.
I think they just turned Spanish for some reason.
So it’s trans for translated?

It’s the old “media shows you an objectively attractive character then attempts to gaslight you into thinking they’re some kind of rotten gremlinesque undesirable” trope.
Ready Player One.

Trans folks are really bad at being unattractive!
It’s a DLSS 5 meme.
So, you became cute AND spanish?
I want to marry la creatura.
All of them are attractive, it’s just a lot of people think attractive = conventionally attractive.
IMO the creatures are cuter. 🤷♂️
The artist is actually so cute though
Our self image has been destroyed by social media under capitalism.
Self image has been destroyed by both social and classic media under any regime - I’m pre-social media and my self image was just as bad. But yeah, I agree that social media carry the torch now.
“Heroin chic” used to be an unironic term for female beauty standards. Nothing will be as bad for our self-image as the white supremacist capitalist monoculture of the 20th century.
Social media has been a godsend, helping people build communities around other standards of beauty or even resisting central beauty standards altogether. The diversity of aesthetics, the social support for people who don’t fit the cookie-cutter mould, the sharing of nutritional delicious meals without advertisers leaning on the editor.
Personally, people on social media advised me to cut shampoo when doctors told me to use more and more intense shampoo, so now I have healthier hair while spending less on product. Social media helped me recognize I was trans and showed me realistic transition timelines when regular media treated it as a vomitous joke and my psychiatrist said it was just the autistic tendency to question everything.
Without social media I would probably have killed myself, unable to make myself conform to how my those around me said I should look and act.
There are plenty of infohazards on social media, but Lemmy is also a social medium, as are reddit and youtube where I got most of that productive information over the years. I am glad social media exist, I’m glad we and others like us able to talk like this, and I hope we always will be able to. Though yeah, hopefully not through capitalism.
Yeah, that’s why I don’t like these under 16 social media bans. They’re gonna get kids killed. And also the privacy invasion, microtargeting ads, malware, billionaire profits, and lack of action on malicious UX patterns.
Thank the gods I’m in the top half. I’m also in the bottom half, but we focus on me being in the top half.
Pero me gusta La Criatura. ¡Es graciosa!
Yo tambien. No necesitas lucir bien para ser buena.
Is this a blazer hoodie?

It’s “criatura” If you are trying to write it in Spanish
La Real academia española lists “creatura” as a synonym of criatura
It’s not synonym, cult means that the “correct” way to write it is “criatura”. Is in the index because the RAE acknowledge that “creatuta” exists as a word.
cult. just means “creatura” is closer to Latin creatūra. Also, as far as I know, the RAE doesn’t list any misspellings. I’d take them acknowledging it exists as a word to be enough for it to count as “proper” Spanish.
I didn’t say is a misspelling. There’s a reason why the RAE page have all the definitions and synonyms in the “criatura” page (that dosen’t include “creatura”) while “creatura” only links to the correct spelling “criatura”.
So many words in the RAE dictionary that nobody uses anymore. But in this case, the form “creatura” is just weird. The conventional way is “criatura” for, basically, all Spanish speaking countries in XXI century.
There may be a specific reason she writes it that way. For example, to reference creación. Don’t be so hasty.
