I wish there was a way to tell who was awake so I could DM them guess I'll slide into all of y'all's timeline rather than DMs. What is the most accepted catch all term for the thing I'm always ranting about, "cottagecore," "pastelpunk," "cartoon or cartoon like soft media"

In the world of anime it's called iyashikei, "healing"

I think that's the best term that most directly captures what you're talking about It's unfortunately one of those anime terms mostly known in Japan When people talk about "moe" like it's a genre of fiction they really mean "iyashikei"

Your other terms are a little too specific, like "cottagecore" means rural/farming stuff, "pastelpunk" literally means "punk outfits but with pastel colors", etc.

Hm, I wonder what I could do to avoid directly using the Japanese term. I don't want to be That Gaijin Who Convinced Everything a Japanese Word Meant Something It Didn't Innocence-punk? Maybe I should just rant against innocence as a concept

Just translate it into English, "healing" or "soothing" media

I do kind of think of it like the medical analogy makes sense They make Ensure (among other things) for people who can't keep any other food down, who need to make sure they get all the nutrients they need every day without setting off their vomit reflex

And that's fine In fact if you want to be one of those Soylent people and eat nothing but a food replacement shake every day, or use it to replace a meal because it's cheap and cooking is hard and it always tastes okay, that's fine

But if that's all we're allowed to have as a society, then that's pretty bad Outright dystopian, even We demand our right to spicy food, bitter food, gross weird food, junk food
