Beyond most of gacha life content being crappy series’ made by 13 year olds, it’s also because gacha life has a pretty bad history on both their community and ours. Long story short, kids can easily use it to make… NSFW or otherwise not-so-nice things, which is also a pretty big part of it.
But gacha life at its core is meant to be a kids’ game. That’s why it’s also often defined as a “Dress-up game”. There’s been a few good stories out of it definitely, but 99% of it’s target audience, that being kids, won’t bother to make something good, which is why you see so much of the same stuff churned out, like emotionless guys or being the only boy/girl in a school. There’s also the extremely common reaction videos, and in general almost all of it’s users recycle the same type of content.
Unless they’re a full animatic, they also tend to be pretty boring to watch. Oftentimes going frame by frame just isn’ a good way to watch something. It kind of takes away the impact of fight scenes in particular, especially since the characters are more “Chibi” in nature, which would also rule out some intimidation they’d have too. The nature of gacha life just makes it seem more “colorless” if you know I what I mean, especially if they’re trying to make a serious story.
Finally, I think this is the most important one, but because of the target audience of gacha being young kids, and also considering what is common to be made on there, A lot of characters made by gacha users are just wanked, poorly made profiles, even when they aren’t tier 1. I’ve seen plenty of profiles that just spam a wide variety of hax for power purposes, rather than focusing on a story, which is what fc/oc needs in a good profile.
The reason people consider gacha “cringe” here is because almost everyone who comes from the gacha community makes something exactly like this. ^ The reason why the purge of tier 1 characters happened is because people were making too many wanked tier 1 pages without a good story or cosmology. That’s why we have the standards we have today. There are obviously exceptions to this, You’ve made profiles for verses that aren’t necessarily powerwank at all, but in general gacha kids themselves who come here don’t provide anything valuable to this community.
) and yet i put it here cause it felt important for me to add it.
