    Plus the art they started using in gdrive. The art on its own is cool but within the Google ecosystem just feels like… what is it even… why… ugh I hate it.

        I’ve recognized this style as a generic corpo art, but never had a name to put to it. Thanks for that.

        Sanitized, pandering, and insincere, Wikipedia describes it perfectly.

        Yeah like in 50 years I can absolutely imagine people loving it as a style of a time. I recognize I like pop art far more than I would if I was in its target demographic. But also I don’t hate it, it’s just so everywhere and so soulless. It’s the style of “money please” in a time of great socioeconomic inequality. It’s art deco but demanding friendship and comfort rather than respect and awe. But more than anything it’s art for business people, and I just don’t care for business people.

      I am actually quite fond of this style, though this might be controversial

      prevent body shaming by only showing obese/disfigured people so society accepts it as a healthy norm

        Corporate memphis does incorporate a sort of identity vagueness.

        Almost all human features, body, skincolor are in a uncanny valley. Non-personal enough to be general yet similar enough to be relatable to pretty much any theoretical demographic.

        In reality it falls flat. Many people (non partisan) dislike it because of how artificial and shallow it feels.

        What it is definitely not is a deep plot to change the social perception of checks note people with non idealistic body features.

        Google has no economic incentive to improve your opinion of disabled people who are equally part of this group you appear to find non acceptable to exist in the workforce.
