>>47481189Most of the whinging about nugen starters along these lines are from either jaded faggots just looking for something to bitch about or autists broken by furries and scalies trying to spite them by similarly hypersexualizing anything bipedal with canid/reptilian features. I feel like the fact that this board gives Blaziken a pass (because there aren't a lot of vocal birdfuckers here) is proof enough of that.
That said, earlier gen humanoids are generally silly looking, simplistic and tend to have themes that aren't too blatant, while there's a lot more in-your-face anthropomorphization that can be off-putting in some newer designs.
