Here's a brief public service announcement on Bishie syndrome.
It is a disease affecting 95% of all dA users, and is the main cause of stuffty art, stemming from lack of anatomical knowledge, poor drawing skills, and the sickening urge to make everything wakashi na wa hanisaka suki desu. =^_______^=
Here's a prime example:
Is it a man, or a woman? Don't know?
IT'S BISHIE.
If you find that cute, then consider Self Delete. The anatomy is typical of the forgettarded, as it is drawn in that cutesy-Anime style with barely any nose (no, a small black line is not a nose), which is very typical in deviantArt communities, and is as girly as Fred Phelps.
Also note that while the creator claims that she is drawing an actual creature, like many affected by BS, she can only draw miscellaneous stuff that is kawaii and make all her characters look like women.
Here are some other symptoms of Bishie syndrome:
- Posting pictures/poetry on LiveJournal about you cutting yourself/flying on the astral plane/buying new Wapanese stuff.
- Dedicating an entire AMV to a couple that has no canon support yet you claim is "true love"
- Going off on a Drama Llama rant when someone constructively criticizes/compliments your artwork.
- Harassing people who disagree with your opinion and getting them banned out of spite.
- Saying everything is kawaii desu when really, it isn't.
- Thinking two animals/children/undead guys make the perfect couple.
- Writing fanfiction about them.
- Drawing fanart featuring them in "cute" poses.
- Whining "I just have a distinctive style!" when someone points out how your drawing skill hasn't risen above Elementary level in ten years.
- Posting a picture of two people making the book with two covers and insisting it isn't pr0n.
- Going batstuff insane at the drop of a hat.
Also, this is a drawing of a Bishounen man (where the name Bishie comes from) from Medieval Japan. Note the actual noses.
It only got worse from there.
