Neleth-KT Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 http://aion.plaync.com/board/notice/view?articleID=5888&page=1 I'm not sure if it's a character creation contest or not but it seems most likely o_o Wonder how it's decide winners though.

Vantheria-DN Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Uh wtf. This is like a beauty contest... and beauty is subjective, especially when you're talking about video game toons. Dangit, Aion lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arhangelos Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Get ready to see kawaii-vomit style people thinking their digital waifu is very cute with bubbly eyes and super punch-cute outfits, having them with tiny legs so they are small, being offended they didn't win this.

No need to insult other people tastes. There're a lot of characters in Post your Aion character! thread that I didn't like but I never post my negative thinking to ruin their imagination and creativity. Same character in one eye could be beautiful like an angel while other one thinking it's ugly. It's all up to your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesecake-DN Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Which is why beauty contests (in Aion especially) suck. Really subjective. They did one back before launch, and the character that won, you couldn't even see her face past the paper fan in front of 3/4ths of it. Lots of people were pissed.

But beauty is math before it is an option or a preference. Φι (phi) from the ancient Hellenic golden ration where all the ancient Hellenic (Greek) statues and temples were applied to. It has to do with universal harmony and "beautiful" mathematical proportions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryos-DN Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I have always discouraged that because tastes are tastes. If we were actually guided by math, then there would be no gays, goths or hobos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arhangelos Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Of course taste is taste and personal opinions are everywhere. Otherwise people wouldn't love their children if the neighbors children were "prettier" or "more handsome". BUT facial harmony, body harmony, variety of vivid colours etc are imprinted in our brains as good looking though. It is like arguing whether a turkey is better looking than a peacock. The first looks like the ugly cousin of the second. This is why global beauty standards incline towards something specific and others complain that they are not included.

Bryos-DN Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 And that is the whole point. We may incline to specific characteristics, but there are others who do not. What if one of those is a contestant or even the judge? Also, the "favoured characteristics" are such because of sheer luck because of natural selection. The "others" found the poisonous berries best-looking, while the survivors did not. If we lived in a world were peacocks were as dangerous as a black bear, our favourite characteristics would have been different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesecake-DN Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Chibis are cute. The nyerked up chibis that run around in Aion are creepy, not cute. I'd rather have the horns and Darth Maul faces characters who are beautifully done over the creepyass chibis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzmaria-KT Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I also believe that are some standards for beauty. But even if so few people in the world match with all of them (and everyone think they are beauty), most of the people match with some. So maybe when we talk about tastes, can be that we are taking into consideration some of the matching standars instead of those not matching. And also, after living some time in this world, we learn that are a lot of other factors to think about. We are not just peacocks looking for the best gens to have a lot of offpring. Living make us to change our standards. And probably a lot of people here changed so much their standars since 12 years old to now. An even when sometimes we know that somebody looks really nice, we totally decide to avoid that person cause we know is crazy AF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesecake-DN Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Did you guys ever see that thing where guys from all over the world photoshopped this one model to their idea of beauty? It was interesting. Pls no cry that they're buzzfeed articles. (not nekkid, but not quite safe for work either since it's body, not face): https://www.buzzfeed.com/lorynbrantz/perceptions-of-perfection-across-borders?utm_term=.lwQ384V06#.id2L9jnP8 Face photoshop: https://www.buzzfeed.com/ashleyperez/global-beauty-standards?utm_term=.hlG3rlBx7#.lyZ197W2V and for dude standards (there's a show as list option): https://mashable.com/2016/02/18/man-photoshop-around-the-world/#w7rTcZJW1Zq8 I lol'd hard at Russia. Beauty is a weird thing indeed. But, yeah, never stick your pecker in crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
