Artist making waves on TwitterPosted on: 04/24/24 07:43PM
Developing Story: Loli artist orenji AKA [orenjipiiru / wholesomeorenji] has been making waves the past few days on Twitter (X). The artist has made an illustration of "Anatomy of a Gamer" where their attire is described in detail, and has a smug loli GF standing next to said gamer. In the time of writing this, the illustration has 20 million impressions, 45K likes and 5k reposts (3.5 which are Quote reposts)
The controversy begins with the loli GF is described as "Child GF" in the artists illustration, catching the ire of many antis. Unclear if the Japanese artist had a mistranslation or is intentionally stirring the hornets nest with the wording, but lols have been had.
Edit: Upon digging, one commenter asked said question and Orenji replied, "'loli' would've probably went more smoothly but 'child' has a certain oomph that I think made it funnier"
Through the chaos in the Comments and Quote retweets, a phoenix rose through the embers and a meme format has emerged. Currently carried by other artists often featuring a larger character standing by their smol travel companion. Example: One Punch Man standing next to Tatsumaki. Some of the meme edits have currently made it here to Gelbooru as well.
It's a lot of back and forth in the retweets, but it remains to be seen what fate lies for the Japanese artist. In common practice when a loli artist has brushed upon the attention of the normie limelight, seldom does the artist last. If they don't go private from the waves of harassments and threats, they're usually banned from the mass amounts of reporting.
Within the past 24 Hrs the artist said, "I was worried at first but things are going well and I'm in a great mood now. Even if the mass bot reporting gets me banned, I'll still be in a good mood." in the event that their account gets locked, they've also shared their Baraag, Pixiv and Misskey accounts for those who wish to continue to follow.
For reference, the artist is tagged as orenji_(wholesomeorenji) here in Gelbooru (SFW)
