Is\u00a0Parvati a lookalike of Boudica? Are\u00a0Parvati’s breasts a lookalike of Boudica’s\u00a0breasts?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Parvati and Boudica were drawn by the same person,\u00a0Takao Aotsuki (\u84bc\u6708\u30bf\u30ab\u30aa), a long time illustrator working for\u00a0Type-Moon since early years. Ever since this\u00a0Parvati card became available in Fate\/Grand Order (FGO), Aotsuki has been accused of “tracing his own work” and “being lazy” – all because\u00a0Parvati is way too similar with the other card he drew,\u00a0Boudica, in terms of facial features and breast shapes.<\/p>\n

Earlier last week,\u00a0Aotsuki shut\u00a0down his Twitter<\/a> and Pixiv<\/a> account due to some players’ unstoppable harassment and verbal abuse online.<\/p>\n

\"\"Aotsuki’s Pixiv page has been shut down<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition, this Parvati card has upset American Hindu statesman Rajan Zed. He wrote in his own site<\/a>, “Goddess Parvati was meant to be worshipped in temples and home shrines and not to be reduced to just a \u201cservant\u201d in a video game to be used in combat in the virtual battleground”<\/em>, and he demanded FGO to have her taken down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In fact, many anime-style characters look very similar, especially when they are drawn by the same person. Previously, some also accused Kyoto Animation’s characters of “all having the same face”.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it’s really not the illustrator’s fault.\u00a0Perhaps it’s just people have had their aesthetic bar raised.<\/p>\n
