Ok. So basically he originally had himself in the thumbnails and people thought he was a girl. And so he made a girl. Poppy.....that's the origin story.

Considered fully like this, Poppy kind of feels like more than "just" a mascot; given the context and of how and why she came to be, she kind of represents your evolution and improvement as an artist and a KZbinr. So that only makes her _more_ iconic to you and your channel, I feel!

I'm actually one of the people that commented you looked like a girl back in the day, but I enjoyed your content, thought you had a good sense of humor and subbed. When you started drawing a girl on your thumbnails in response to that I thought you were genius. Keep up the great videos Radicalsoda! It's always a treat when you upload.

THANK YOU! That’s exactly what I’m saying! It’s weird he acts like that, especially his entire grossed out/uncomfortable reaction to it and “I can’t stop it from happening but just please don’t send it to me” attitude when he HIMSELF draws NSFW art of his own character in his patreon, as well as NSFW art of all the other girls in his thumbnails. He even drew NSFW art of Yukari from P3 with a tentacle slime monster (a minor btw, but that’s a different can of worms), not to mention his already pretty risqué art of Poppy in his regular thumbnails, so he kinda had it coming. All in all, it’s pretty hypocritical for him to react that way if you ask me.

@@cloudirubez07 Has Rad ever done anything explicitly NSFW? Because there's a difference between drawing a character in a suggestive pose, and making actual nude drawings of it. In the first case, many artists tend to see that as still a relationship between them and their own character - drawing a character in a certain way is perceived as an exercise or display of skill, a way to convey something about the character, or just a joke or otherwise humorous drawing. It's when it comes to outright NSFW depictions (whether it be implicit or explicit p*rn or just nudity) that such artists start to feel uncomfortable or even as though their character is being disrespected. What I mean is, we can't certainly equate a character being drawn in a suggestive pose to something like baalbuddy's comics.

Well, as far as personality, we can infer a few things 1) Confidence/sexuality. I mean, she do be showing off her chest a lot 2) Upbeat. She do be smiling a lot, that's pretty indicative of who she is. Also, with her primary colour of red, it implies some level of energy, as that's what that usually means in character design 3) Isnt _just_ happy. I mean, no one is. But shes very expressive, and emotive, even when not shown as smiling 4) Fashion. She seems to like changing clothes a lot 5) Dynamic. Seems to really like cool poses, as opposed to Poppy v1, which...was really just Rad standing around. 6) Has the same taste in games as Rad. I mean, duh, but still. 7) She's a gamer. I mean, if you wear a demonised broach on you at all times, particularly when you're wearing revealing clothes. That's a gamer. That's about all I got. But that gives us some impression of what she's like
@thewooddove2
@thewooddove2 2 жыл бұрын
I don't think you realize that revealing clothing often isn't sexual at all. Confidence maybe, but there is 0 sexual aspect to most women wearing clothing that shows off. The actual reason is the normalization of it by men and clothing companies pressuring women to wear less and less over time then shaming them for it. "You wear hoodies? You must be fat and ugly!" "You wear jeans? Your legs must be disgusting and hairy!" It's this kind of thinking that is destroying confidence in varying clothing. But also, women who show off are more likely to get some kind of positive feedback, yet also more likely to be assaulted. This "more skin = more attractive" attitude is why artists go for more revealing characters and curvier proportions, and probably why soda does it as well. More boob = more click

I can understand why you would not like the early iterations as we all artists are the harshest critics of ourselves but it shows a progress of improvement with each new thumbnail of Poppy and Im happy that you've come to a design you're satisfy to stick with.

I gotta say RadicalSoda, if Poppy never existed being drawn in all these thumbnails, I probably would have never gotten into drawing stuff as a hobby and maybe as a longtime job! So, thank you so much, man! Now I can draw my own waifus! (also including other stuff too because I’m not a degenerate!) LMAO

I've been around here long enough that i know (hell i think i was even there to witness) poppys origin story. but I'm still not sure i fully understand Bear Grylls. why did he show up? why is he still here? why is he so well versed in sonic horror games, shouldn't he be linked to survival games? has the real Bear Grylls ever told you to stop using his likeness to give critiques of said sonic horror games? he's just shrouded in mystery.

I totally relate to that whole naming thing my guy. Always prided myself on my storytelling and world building but I'll be damned if I can come up with a good name for like a character, or town, or whatever really. There's the occasional diamond in the rough but yeah I kid you not I have a heavily important character with edgy backstory, demonic powers and all, and his name is "Tim". It wasn't ironic when I first decided that. But yeah keep up the great work my guy! Always love watching your videos, especially in public with my headphones disconnected because they didn't notify me that the battery had run out!
