I love this game, but darn, if those Star Guardians aren't making me cringe so very, very, very hard.
The irony is that I was a huge fan of Sailor Moon when I was 12 years old.
Yeah, I know this is just gonna get a zillion downvotes, but as someone who loves League and especially adores its art direction, I sure hope next skins and characters can do better than the hyper-wannabeJapanese stuff we're getting.
sheldonbunny12 votesYou're definitely entitled to your opinion. Same way it saddens me watching language get used and abused to the point where "cringe" is far removed from it's original meaning and the fact that anything inspired by anime is declared "weeaboo."
The amount of intolerance in society, especially represented online, is staggering.
Spicy Rice1 votesIs it really though? It's been shown when there is a complete lack of consequence/accountability for actions, that people will fully abuse what ever they can

Online interactions have created a disconnect between people not realizing online and offline are both a part of reality. They are still interacting with human beings with lives, emotions, and histories. Anonymity breeds apathy and as you mentioned a false security in acting with false bravado many would not have face to face.
As much as I enjoy technology and all it's wonders, I also see its ability to corrupt individuals and society as a whole.
Zëd Lęppelin4 votesHe's using cringe in its right context. Not weeb though. (But I guarantee 90% of the people who will buy the skins are weebs).
LunSeiSleidee4 votesWow, did you get hurt because I called you a weeaboo?
And trust me, I used both "cringe" and "weeaboo" in the right, correct context here.

Considering it doesn't apply to me, nor would I care what a stranger online says, no.
As for cringe:

So no, you're using the overused internet slang version of it, which is just sad from anyone who cares about legitimate linguistics.
LunSeiSleidee4 votes"to shrink, bend, or crouch, especially in fear or servility; cower. "
Sounds pretty accurate to me.
You're also barking to the wrong tree pal, I got a master in Asian Languages and took big fat exams about Linguistics.
Spicy Rice2 votesSo "weaboos" scare you, or make you want to serve them?
LunSeiSleidee2 votesObviously, the first one.
Really, dude. Stop trying to grasp at linguistics. It makes you sound pretty pathetic.
Beyond Legends4 votesYet you don't know what a weaboo is. What a sad joke.
LunSeiSleidee2 votesAn idiot obsessing over everything Japanese. Usually without having the slightest idea of REAL Japan.

OP doesn't enjoy something, therefore it should be removed.
WyvernEgg8 votesAh yes. So logical to hate something that
Have fun with your downvotes.
LunSeiSleidee4 votesLook around.
Stupid stuff makes money all the time. Stupid stuff makes many people happy.
It doesn't make it any less stupid.
Beyond Legends5 votesK buddy.
midnight oil244 votesOkay. Like you said, that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. But why are you bringing that here?
LunSeiSleidee5 votesKind of venting. I love the game and I hate what it's becoming.
midnight oil244 votesI suggest the vent subreddit. You won't stir up the hornet's nest quite as much.
I do know the feeling of watching something you dislike invade something you do like, so I get where you're coming from, there are just places where people are less likely to get mad at you for voicing that opinion.

I don't mind people getting mad at me; it's the internet.
But I must say I really appreciated your comment about how you understand how I'm feeling.
I just really love this game, and I don't like the turn it has been taking this year, when it comes to arts and visual style.
midnight oil242 votesI mean, we still get guys like Urgot and Ornn who have very western inspiration. So at least there are still things that, from what I can tell, appeal to you. Although maybe I'm totally wrong.
Beyond Legends1 votes[deleted]
midnight oil242 votesThere is also that to think of. And of course, the majority of the players who buy these skins aren't going to be "weaboos." I like all the Star Guardian Skins (except one that should be easy to guess based on my history here), and hope that cool stuff continues to happen, but it's not like they're the best skins. Everyone just has their own opinions or reasons for wanting the skins.
Beyond Legends2 votesMeh honestly I would much prefer a kamen rider/ power ranger like skin line instead of new star guardian skinline.
midnight oil241 votesI imagine Lee Sin would be in the Kamen Rider line?
Beyond Legends1 votesTo be honest I was honestly think more Garen instead. Usually the kame rider like shows usually have a signiture weapon which they use as a special attack. So champion with signiture weapon are probably better.
midnight oil241 votesBut what about the Kamen Rider Kick?
Beyond Legends1 votesI'll be honest that completely slip out of my mind as I was thinking about another series.
midnight oil241 votesIt's the only thing I know about that series, in all honesty.

Yeah, Urgot and Ornn are more fitting League's style, in my opinion.
I hate it when western countries try to copy asian style. It's as dumb as asians mimicking western culture.
Differences is what brings variety and progress.
midnight oil241 votesI personally don't feel like they're mimicking any culture, and different regions in league seem to operate on different styles, but I guess my opinion is different from yours. I just don't think that using stuff from other cultures is dumb, but that's just me I guess.
LunSeiSleidee1 votesUsing stuff from other cultures is fine. Copying stuff from other cultures to the point of cultural plagiarism is dumb.
TyrekGoldenspear3 votesI mean, it's impossible to please everyone.

DariusDemiurge2 votesIt wouldn't have been so bad if they made them for better champs than ahri. Like where is my weeaboo star guardian Morgana and Kayle?! :3c
But overall I agree.
LunSeiSleidee3 votesYou know, at the rate Riot is going, I'm afraid we're going to get Star Guardian Morgana and Kayle, eventually..... :/

If they are done well I'll accept it even though I don't care for weeb stuff, (in before SG skin line consumes the majority of the roster.) anytime my angel lovers get something I'm happy. Now if they'd only get some real merchandise instead of skins.
RainXBlade2 votesUnpopular Opinion
That's a good way to farm downvotes right there.
Mystery Ghost2 votesThen why do you keep making posts here about the same thing, noone cares about your stupid opinion. Anime sells so they will keep making these things if you dont like it go away there are millions of people who buy these skins thats why they make them

Just because you don't care about my opinion (or do you? If you didn't care, you wouldn't have bothered to answer).... it doesn't mean no one cares.
Voicing your opinion is what everyone should do.
Remember, being disapproved does not always mean that you are wrong. There was a time when respecting homosexuals, or treating women or people of different races as equal, was a disapproved behaviour.
Digielf2 votesHow many times must your posts get downvoted to oblivion to understand that no matter how much the few sad haters complain, anime and japanese culture will always be copied by the west into a point where it will look like there's no end to it
LunSeiSleidee2 votesKiddo, Japanese culture has been copied by the west only in the latest 20 years. That's pretty much nothing.
Even so, you do understand if you really love Japanese culture you wouldn't want to see it just copied around without its actual cultural implications and details?
You're talking like copying Japanese culture is- wait, I'm talking to a weeaboo, am I not? Nevermind then. Whatever you say buddy!
