Lola Bunny was TOO MUCH CULTURE for Space Jam 2

So wind drag is a problem if her clothes are too baggy (doesn't seem to bother men too much, i dont recall fellas wearing skintight drip on the court with midriff) --but the shorts being so tight its riding into her regionals is better (groin crease rash incoming), lmfao.

OP tried to word it proper to make it sound reasonable but there was literally nothing wrong with her outfit outside that it wasn't appealing to male mating sensibilities.

As usual, cats think they own every female identified character on the silver screen, especially one that's linked to your childhood. If you said it was just too “mediocre”? Fine, fair, cause it is. 

The edit plumped up her legs, dolled her up to fit a fap standard and that's enough.  People are too blasted entitled, folk just want pinup girls and trophies, and anything less is a dude feeling like something was taken from em; pure possessiveness, thats all this was about, it’s all it’s ever about, possession.

Entitlement. Many don't even care about Lola, most just need a box ticked because something was changed. No different from the “woke” mob outrage, this one is the “thirst” mob outrage.

Now, the industry can be spiteful, no doubt. Studios often desexualize to an unreasonable degree just to be mean. But the "fans" aren't a better look either ongod.*

For me, her face in that one picture was what looked off the most in that original visual cause of the size of her eyes, too small. Also the render itself looked under-designed; the only thing the edit did necessary was make her eyes bigger & massively improved the shading of the subject.

But in the actual movie she looks fine. Didn’t need to edit her shorts into underwear, deadass; all that "edit" is is just a hack reskin of what we already saw in the first movie, zero innovation.

I don't even like what the movie did to her court look in Space Jam 2, yet that doesn't mean there's something wrong with it cause I don't like it, for me it's the teams color mainly- I like the white & blue palette better, minor gripe.

Lola herself is the "culture", she's the character, the outfit is an outfit. People seemed to have cared more about the outfit than Lola.

Either she (the character) is enough or she isn't, period.

That's the conversation nobody was tryna have, cause that's what this really boils down to.

The issue with Fanservice. It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't help either.

The core of fanservice is exploitation for audience retention, for some it might not have "been bad" to see her bent over for no reason beside the fact that she's not ugly.

But to exploit a character solely because they're attractive, thus commence "fanservice" ie. sequence of events to reduce them to just a hot piece of meat in circumstantial situations geared specifically to further reduce them to a sex object---- Doesn't help them either.

Characterization builds character, fanservice takes away from them or does absolutely nothing for the character but dehumanizes them.

Because it's FAN+service, not CHARACTER+service.

And true fanservice? In reality is reference, through-lines, easter eggs, that's fanservice.

Stan Lee's cameos throughout the years, that's true fanservice. Anime/manga, predictably has this degenerate context where fanservice in anime specifically means a character (mainly FEMALE, ofc) gets bent over the couch for some instant gratification dopamine fixes, meaningless.

Basically Anime & manga has hijacked the term fanservice to mean "Sex-ploit characters for no reason, at any cost even at the expense of the story and character in question-- ya know, for the kids"

ie. Consistent Cockteasing is considered fanservice.

I hear what they're saying. But let's be frank, for some it wouldn't have been bad, but what good would it have done Dianna? Absolutely nothing. That's the point.

Her being attractive, is enough.

• We, fandom/society/culture, have to learn not to exploit what we admire, just because it activates monke brain.

We don't have to ruin everything we touch just because it wouldn't hurt anyone. And as with fetishes, psychologists have "hot harming anyone" clauses but not one can explain how it's morality/ evolutionary/ socially advantageous to be a regressive manchild.

TLDR, we have excuses, but not a single good reason. It's not harming anyone, but we can't cite how it's helping the matter as an alternative to growing the fuck up, how it's helping either morally vs being a safe space for dysfunction and incompetence, thus arrested development, which is why fetishists & Otaku culture are very parallel in a lot of respects.

So "no harm" actually doesn't mean anything, never has.

And that's precisely why I respect the restraint on part of the writers, Turn A Gundam has fanservice, but for Dianna? It's especially toned down. And it further helps how seriously she's handled, and I can watch cuter, lighter moments without worrying about an obligatory shot of her ass, crotch, or chest for no reason.

Or a jump cut to her chest in central frame and then we pan to her face because her tits comes first because that's what her existence is. And the director wants you to remember that every 10 seconds.

I can trust this show to know what the fuck it's doing without treating me like an idiot who has no other incentive to watch a show beyond the basic-minded factors. I like shows that take itself/ thus me/ we the audience, seriously. Not so serious that it doesn't loosen up, but not so much a joke, I feel disrespected with the character.

Perhaps given the fact that her twin (Kihel) was a stand-in for the other "fanservice" moments and there was no point in doing it to Dianna when you already saw Kihel. Whatever the case, Dianna is more so solid because the writers (in an anime no less) respected their work enough to know NOT to do it.

Wouldn't have been bad, but it wouldn't have helped. Because it never does.
