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.

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

[-] trashboat@midwest.social 3 points 3 days ago

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

[-] kepix@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days 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.

sadly porn is illegal in Algeria :(

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days 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.

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 6 points 3 days ago

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.

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 1 day ago

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

[-] yourgodlucifer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Mechaguana@programming.dev 10 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

"fuck alegria art"?

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

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

[-] hedhoncho@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

But why? It’s so whimsical and carefree

[-] LemUrun@pawb.social 6 points 4 days ago

I like this style, it's goofy!

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] moopet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

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

[-] LemUrun@pawb.social 1 points 3 days ago

Well... yeah
