Anzat's How it's Done
You know what I'm talking about.
People who come to a STAR WARS™ roleplaying board with the desire to see what would happen if they took a hyper-sexualised teenage girl cartoon character and made her mingle with Sith Lords and Jedi Knights.
People who blatantly disregard the look, feel, and nature of Star Wars to enact a fantasy that is completely immersion breaking for everyone else on the site.
You're having a fantastic duel with your esteemed rival in an invasion thread when suddenly Akira Shokinawa jumps in, skimpily dressed and brandishing lightsaber nunchucks, speaks some japanese to you and then, for some unknown reason, turns the fight into BDSM foreplay.
Okay, maybe that hasn't happened, but some characters around here are painfully close to that.
Some anime I can tolerate -- when it's purely a (serious, not unnecessarily sexualised) character playby. Why everyone doesn't use appropriate, realistic, artwork I don't know, but I digress.
When the character is obviously ripped straight from Naruto or Girls und Panzer and thrown into this SW melting pot, then I get irked. Not to mention it conflicts with two already established rules:
I would call blatant anime ripoffs a violation of both rules, as slapping a lightsaber on them and saying that they're able to use the force doesn't suddenly make them unique.
On behalf of everyone irked and irritated by seeing outrageous anime characters, I am calling for a blanket ban on characters that purely exist to satisfy the writer's desire to import anime into SW.
It has no place here.
LET THE BUMBLAST COMMENCE.
EDIT: I think people are getting caught up on my disdain for anime avatars more than the actual thing I'm discussing. I just want to clarify that I do like anime avatars if they are done well.
EDIT#2: I am not really concerned with anime avatars. That is not the point. The point is; blatant anime characters that have no place in Star Wars and break immersion need to be banned or edited so they fit in with the theme of the board.
