Polandball


Polandball is simple, but lovely. I like the simplicity. From this picture, I learned how to express "tears welling up".

About the CFT issue, one suggestion is "lowered camera angle and the mother area as the focus"

I got two requests regarding CFT. This and this. As for the former ask, I wasn't sure it was really her wish, or just her trolling. Anyway it is a good question, so I decided to answer the question.

First, I'd like you to read my past articles about emurin4jp (known as Hima).

Please read this, this and this.

...Now I think you've read them all. Now I think you can guess what I'm going to write?

Take a look at emurin4jp's video page. I noticed that the camera position was lowered from a certain point in the past.


The below used to be the former camera position.


Now, from a certain time in the past, the camera position was lowered, like this (below).



As a result of the change in the camera position, her videos became more "sexual".

It is clearer if we compare the following screenshots.


This is "Before".



This is "After".


Our attention naturally reaches around the "mother area" of her body. Sorry for the euphemism!

If you wear short skirt, the audience are more prone to get "excited"--you know what I mean.



Note that it's only one aspect out of many with regards to her videos. Her videos are pieces of art. As I've written on one article about Milkymico, great art embodies polyphony. If it has a main melody line (dancing), it has a secondary line (music), as well as accompanyment (dancing dog named Suki). A great art offers plural ways of enjoying it.

Being "sexually attention getting" is only one part of appeal. It is up to the performer how much you put weight on it.

Also note about the camera position (height). The lowering of camera doesn't necessarily mean it becomes more sexually stimulating. It could have the effect of "dynamism", "towering, dominance". After all, it is not all about sex that matters. Depending on the interpretation it could become sexual, that's all.

Now compare other dancers also.

Let's compare the videos by Michogopyon2 and the ones by lilymouse.

The following screenshots are from Michigopyon2

.

Now let's compare them to the following screenshots. These are by lilymouse0211.




Now put together all,



You can replace Michigopyon2 with most any J-POP dancers on Youtube.

Without the distinct focusing lines, the focusing point naturally comes to the dead center of the video screen (the star mark).

While the focusing point comes around the breast for Michigopyon2's videos, that comes 20 cm or so above the "mother area" of lilymouse0211.

Do you think as for lilymouse0211's case, that is a coincidence? Check for other videos by her also.

Last year, I asked her who usually film her dances. She replied her parents do it.

I feel her father films her. He knows what guys like to see from girls.

Now watch Hima (emurin4jp)'s video. She is more "sexual" than lilymouse0211, because of the lowered camera position and the distinct focusing lines that all point to the crotch area of her body.



I bet if her classmates find this video, more than half the guys will do CFT.

Even if there are all kinds of tastes, there are techniques.

About the sexuality issue, I won't delve deep into it here. It is obvious it plays an important role in entertainment business.

Name any big female movie stars. Not a few of them show nude early in their career.

It is up to the performers to decide to avoid it, or tap into it.

It is a powerful weapon, but the problem is the conventional mindset of the people.

Catering to the sexual desire of men has long been despised. It is also the target of criticism in many religions.

It is hard to go against such thoughts. You can't easily change people's opinions.

If you "blatantly" cater to men's desires, you'll get bashed from the same sex. What should you do to tap in men's desires?

One solution would be the "lowered camera angle and the focusing point around the mother area".
