I didn't know which community to post something in and so here we are.

Please comment if you know a more appropriate community for a post.

MODERATORS
 

FYI: Alegria "Art", or the larger "Corporate Memphis" style is flat-color, anatomically-distorted slop associated with corporations and used by Facebook, Google and others.

Yes, I could make a community but I'm not here often enough to moderate one.

instructions unclear, made a alegria art porn community.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

sadly porn is illegal in Algeria :(

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Instructions even more unclear, made a "fuck algeria" community.

It will probably get replaced by generative AI slop soon so middle managers don't need to pay anyone

[–] trashboat@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Replaced? Rather, I think the quantity of it will allow generative AI to be better trained to create more of it

So, you want somebody else to create and moderate a community for you...based on something that you hate. Do I have that right?

[–] LatheOperator@leminal.space 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes.

It wouldn't be the first community defined by antagonism to something, there is !fuckcars@lemmy.world, !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world, !thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world and even !fuck_ai@lemmy.world despite a non-significant number of AI proponents around. The corresponding subreddit r/fuckalegriaart has 57K members. So it's not just me, and hating something is a valid basis for a community. I technically could create it but there are better hands it could be in. So I guess I just should, based on the reactions I see I don't expect much traffic anyway.

It doesn't sound like a community that would be very demanding in terms of moderation.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

I certainly have come to associate it with Black Mirror-style tech dystopia and corporate greenwashing.

[–] Mechaguana@programming.dev 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Just associate the artstyle to porn and believe me it will be abandoned faaaast

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That would require it to be remotely attractive. Ain't no one getting turned on by that bullshit.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

"fuck alegria art"?

[–] pneumatron@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

This art style screams "I have a passion for graphic design" idk why. Sorry to the artist. I hope they were paid handsomely

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Ugh. That shit would be fine if it didn't have association with startups making a shitty online service that dies in 3 months

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

I think /c/r34 does that sort of content.

It really is just corporations being able to suck the life out of anything isn't it?

That was beautifully animated and this art style does seem to work really well with animation.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

it has the wiggly non-anatomical figures and flat coloring, but the artistic vision behind it renders it not nearly so soulless and upsetting

(though imho it's p mid considering Caravan Palace's other music and videos)

[–] LatheOperator@leminal.space 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not gonna lie, I do like the music video. It's probably because the wider context and overall actions of the character add personality that the corporate art style she's drawn in have removed, and the odd proportions play well with the frequent perspective distortions in scene transitions etc.

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

In other words - don't hate the player, hate the corpo.

[–] LemUrun@pawb.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I like this style, it's goofy!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It somewhat reminds me of the style used on Kurzegestatz or however the fuck you spell it.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think I've ever spelled this word correctly even once, haha. I just know it has a K, a U, R, and a random smattering of other letters that I feebly try and type out. Google can usually understand what I was trying to spell :P

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

the style itself isn't a problem.

the problem is that it has been used by so much souless corporate slop, it has become obnoxious and dystopian.

[–] LemUrun@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well... yeah

[–] moopet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

So it's the welcome page equivalent of the Lobster typeface

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

i do like the artstyle. mainly cause it reminds me of tge weird oldschool adobe reader logo theme. also i would rather see a thick black girl jogging in a loginpage, than a generic half torso trying to represent everyone.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

Company I work for announced some new branding recently. Saying they wanted to be different. Its literally the same as everything else but in green. Oh, how adventurous they must have been feeling.

[–] hedhoncho@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

But why? It’s so whimsical and carefree
