FYI: Alegria “Art”, or the larger “Corporate Memphis” style is flat-color, anatomically-distorted slop associated with corporations and used by Facebook, Google and others.
Yes, I could make a community but I’m not here often enough to moderate one.
Removed by mod
it’s a cynical aesthetic movement
iirc most of the hate is just because 90% of the use for the artstyle is just soulless corporate advertising/website filler
It’s soulless and blandly inoffensive. Perfect for corporate slop. Certainly don’t see many corporations embracing Soviet Realism.
instructions unclear, made a alegria art porn community.
WHERE IS THE LINK
sadly porn is illegal in Algeria :(

It will probably get replaced by generative AI slop soon so middle managers don’t need to pay anyone
Replaced? Rather, I think the quantity of it will allow generative AI to be better trained to create more of it
So, you want somebody else to create and moderate a community for you…based on something that you hate. Do I have that right?
Yes.
It wouldn’t be the first community defined by antagonism to something, there is !fuckcars@lemmy.world, !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world, !thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world and even !fuck_ai@lemmy.world despite a non-significant number of AI proponents around. The corresponding subreddit r/fuckalegriaart has 57K members. So it’s not just me, and hating something is a valid basis for a community. I technically could create it but there are better hands it could be in. So I guess I just should, based on the reactions I see I don’t expect much traffic anyway.
It doesn’t sound like a community that would be very demanding in terms of moderation.
I certainly have come to associate it with Black Mirror-style tech dystopia and corporate greenwashing.
Just associate the artstyle to porn and believe me it will be abandoned faaaast
That would require it to be remotely attractive. Ain’t no one getting turned on by that bullshit.
Bet
she t h i c c
“fuck alegria art”?
This art style screams “I have a passion for graphic design” idk why. Sorry to the artist. I hope they were paid handsomely
It really is just corporations being able to suck the life out of anything isn’t it?
That was beautifully animated and this art style does seem to work really well with animation.
Not gonna lie, I do like the music video. It’s probably because the wider context and overall actions of the character add personality that the corporate art style she’s drawn in have removed, and the odd proportions play well with the frequent perspective distortions in scene transitions etc.
In other words - don’t hate the player, hate the corpo.
i do like the artstyle. mainly cause it reminds me of tge weird oldschool adobe reader logo theme. also i would rather see a thick black girl jogging in a loginpage, than a generic half torso trying to represent everyone.
I like this style, it’s goofy!
the style itself isn’t a problem.
the problem is that it has been used by so much souless corporate slop, it has become obnoxious and dystopian.
Well… yeah
So it’s the welcome page equivalent of the Lobster typeface
Company I work for announced some new branding recently. Saying they wanted to be different. Its literally the same as everything else but in green. Oh, how adventurous they must have been feeling.
But why? It’s so whimsical and carefree
You could try talking about it on !techtakes@awful.systems.
