Privately, no.
But I think that in threads dedicated to them, you should hold back, if for no other reason that the threads will otherwise devolve into pure horny-posting (given the lack of story substance to distract from anons' attractions to the girls).

>>73369>devolve into pure horny-postingPar for the course for character threads.
But yeah, habitual hornyposting gets pretty stale. I never got the appeal of constant imagedumps and thinly veiled fetish threads.

>>73874Not cute. It being "too ecchi" isn't the only thing wrong. The setting and pose implies a peeping tom has broken into her room and is watching her in a state of undress. All very out of character for an Atelier. Ecchi would be having fun with a bathing suit, relaxing at an onsen or trying different outfits. This is just kimo.

If you "accidentally" walk in on a girl changing and then refuse to leave, that excuse no longer flies.

>>73874Sophie is seen as sort of a transitional figure that lead to Ryza. She definitely leans into the sexy side with her design (and body, generally more curvy than other Ateliers) but she still has a cute personality.
>>73876It's been a while, but I faintly remember a scene involving Sophie and Plachta that involved clothing. I might be blurring different stories together but I think I remember Plachta not understanding the whole modesty thing. Although, Sophie's alchemist outfit isn't exactly modest

>>73896I don't really agree with this definition, but if we say it's true then how would Akebi not count? Archery, fishing, photography, drawing, cooking, helping her cute sister, eating, swimming, shopping, dancing, piano, vacation, gymnastics, and having simple little adventures in a beautiful way. Akebi did a whole lot of cute things in only 12 episodes! AKEBI SUGOI!

>>73937Something which has an actual definition in Japanese in the case of anime/manga. "CGDCT" is something /a/ made up to describe moe-focused slice of life comedies, then it got picked up by other sites like MAL and and anilist later.

>>73940The iyashikei 'genre' is just as much an /a/ invention. While it is a Japanese word, to the best of my knowledge it has never commonly been used as a genre term (and certainly not for emotional/melancholic series, as you define it) but instead just as a descriptor for wholesome cute things, somewhat close in meaning to moe.

>>73941In Japan it is used to describe a trend in entertainment while there is no such thing for "CGDCT":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyashikeihttps://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/癒やしThe EN wiki article gives a definition related to the genre found in entertainment while the JP one speaks of it in a more general sense (while still acknowledging iyashi-like entertaiment).
It's more of an actual concept than "CGDCT" at least. That one is completely made up by /a/ and doesn't have a wiki article at all.
No.73943
>>73942The
JP Wiki does, however, mention CGDCT as being the coordinate English term for the kuuki-kei genre, which seems accurate enough to me.
No.73946
>>73924If we use that logic, literally every show with girls in it is CGDCT because they will do something at some point. It becomes meaningless, even if you limit it to SoL series. There is a clear distinction between the "group of girls take up a hobby" and normal slice of life stuff in that the former has a dual appeal, drawing in SoL fans with the cute girls and fans of the hobby with time spent regularly doing it. Having a way to separate out those shows from other SoL shows is just as useful as being able to separate out isekai from other fantasy shows.
Houkago Teibou goes fishing every week and they talk about equipment and techniques and preparation, because it's a CGDCT series.
Non Non Biyori goes fishing once in a while and they stand around chatting and listening to nature, because it's an iyashikei series.
Akebi goes fishing once and she shows off her feet and gets wet, because it's a tasteful ecchi series.
No.73947
Always hated the meaninless term CGDCT. It sounds like something a hater of genre would invent to discredit it, even if it isn't, I've seen haters of the genre use it as a pejorative. Same with other made up /a/ terms like yuri bait. I simply use the umbrella term SoL or Iyashikei if I'm feeling bushido.

>>73947I am pretty sure that originally, it was a derogatory term. But haven't most fans accepted it as a descriptor by now?
Which is not to say that you should accept it. But while its borders are blurry, the same is true for every genre. I don't think a little confusion about what constitutes "cute things" should give you pause.
I mean, the way more important question is what makes a "cute girl", really.
Can office ladies be cute girls? What about fake-loli office ladies?
