What would this "blobby" style look like, elaborate please?

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't understand anything. Can someone explain how an art style relates to antis? What's a blobby art style anyway?

[(Anonymous)]

Last time there was a secret like this the art style in question was heavily inspired by Steven Universe i.e. soft-looking characters with a body diversity thing going on.

[(Anonymous)]

+1
I figured it was the same secret maker.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah - sentiments like this always make me sort of confused. Like, when we say "anti", do we really just mean people on Tumblr who annoy us? Because otherwise, the link between the two things eludes me a little bit.

Eh, any group of artists who follow each other, and mostly associate with each other, are going to pick up habits from each other. So if you see a bunch of them in a row, you might start associating the style tics with the group's non-art-related beliefs.

It's not caused by the beliefs themselves -- it could happen with any group.

("Anti" in this context means "people who are against shipping any pairing that isn't perfectly healthy and well-adjusted." And the criteria for "healthy and well-adjusted" are, mysteriously, more relaxed with any pairing they happen to ship themselves.)

[(Anonymous)]

I'd add, "who go out of their way to create sideblogs for the purpose of scolding others" to the definition, since most adults just nope away and have better things to do with their time.

[(Anonymous)]

Anti's are people who vehemently hate certain pairings and characters to the point where they harass others who enjoy them. Like with inbox hate, or starting smear campaigns, or death threats, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

OK, but the connection to the art style is what I don't get.

[(Anonymous)]

Enough people who are antis create and/or reblog the aforementioned art style to cause an association between the two in the mind of the OP? At least, that's what the secret says, so if that's not what OP meant then they worded it badly.

[(Anonymous)]

At least it's a nice change up from the "Let's try to guess from their clothes if we're looking at Snape, Loki, Kylo Ren or Sherlock" art style or that weird "everyone looks like a drunk with bruised knees and elbows" trend that made the rounds a few years back.

[(Anonymous)]

Anti what?

I don't know what blobby means, but as soon as you said anti art style I immediately knew exactly the type of art you're talking about.

For everyone wondering about what "blobby" artstyle means

Here's someone's attempt at drawing like an anti. Extra bonus in the responses with someone defending the artstyle while spouting anti dogma. OP is really onto something, I've noticed it as well.

Re: For everyone wondering about what "blobby" artstyle means

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, my mind immediately went to one artist in my fandom who draws like this and constantly posts about how if you're shipping minor characters even when they've been aged up, you're a pedophile. I get what the OP is driving at.

Re: For everyone wondering about what "blobby" artstyle means

[(Anonymous)]

Looks like they're imitating RCDart.

Re: For everyone wondering about what "blobby" artstyle means

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, CalArts.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sure if you stay far enough away you can still enjoy their art without being sucked into ana anti hole.

[(Anonymous)]

That art style's ugly as fuck anyway. It's really only useful as an indicator of who to stay away from.
