n-no i don't drink anymore

>not marketing as anime girl piss

>>19503927
would i what?? please finish your question thank you.

Companies using anime girls in every random product they create in order to create associations with pre-existing parasocial relationships is weirdly dystopian in nature, like a scientifically calculated apex of capitalism.
They know that weebs are obsessed with 2D women and their waifus, so they exploit that pre-existing parasocial bond by attaching cute/sexy anime girls onto everything even if it has no real relevance.
But companies sometimes put furrybait stuff on their products and furries buy that shit up like hot cakes. It's just funny how a good percentage of "sex sells" products will feature a 2D anime girl or a furry. Just thought that was a funny observation.

>distilled in 2008
Mmmaaaaaybe a sip.

>>19503927
Are they just slapping AI generated anime girls on bottles or were those images commissioned?

>>19503947
But do you drink any less?

>>19503954
>would i what??
Would you any of those bottles?

No

>>19503927
>non chilled filtered
>cask strength
>natural color
Holy kino

No!
If you want me to drink your Scotch based on the label put a drunken whore on there that looks like she has a good time with that piss, not some random elf or catgirl

>>19503927
If it tastes good, yes
If it doesn't, no
Simple as

>>19503927
Fuck yeah

>>19504157
Hand checks out on the 1 grill, but the other is suspicious. Eyes look ok if AI, but not great? Either someone put in the work to normalize the AI images or mid artist.

>Actual AI image for reference.

no

>>19504024
It is strange and can come off sinister, you're right. Anime girl advertising makes me avoid the product because I assume it's chinkshit.

>>19503927
No because appealing to weeaboos via their cocks is a sure sign that a product is shit. That's how it is with video games and anime so why would it be any different for booze?

>>19503927
I'm a sucker for "fancy" (i.e. marketed) booze and also a sucker for anime girls, I'm probably the core target audience of this. So yes, yes I would.

>>19503927
it's alcoholic so yes i would drink it

>>19504024
i buy products with cute anime girls stamped on it to reinforce this behaviour

>>19505244
AI doesn't automatically mean messed up hands, even without post editing

No

What do anime girls have to do with whisky, it's like they're saying "hey dumb coomer, here's porn so you'll buy our product, dumb fag"

>>19505962
>"hey dumb coomer, here's porn so you'll buy our product, dumb fag"
Yes, I'll take a few for the novelty, thanks.

>>19504024
>like a scientifically calculated apex of capitalism
Reminds me of Raytheon representation at gay parades. Like fucking hell dude these people make the bombs that are dropped on middle eastern children.

>>19504024
Shut the fuck up nerd

>>19506277
The concept of novelty is why 4chan exists, and you can browse this place for free.

There's even a board for anime, for free. Anime porn too, which they can't even show on whiskey bottles.

>>19506393
Right, but I want a cute anime girl on a whisky bottle. That is a product I desire to consume.

>>19504917
I am sorry but this doesn't make any sense, please reformulate your question and try again.

>>19504024
>weirdly dystopian in nature, like a scientifically calculated apex of capitalism.
Yeah we need the heckin' socialism to save the artistic integrity of the waifus. Shut up before I stuff you in a locker, nerd.

>>19503927
No because it probably tastes like shit
Id drink a neko twink whiskey though

>>19503927
is this legit? I was literally touring their distillery 2 weeks ago and didn’t see this shit. would have picked up a bottle.

I feel like they got the images mixed up.

Better anime girls than trannies or niggers, I'd buy that whiskey.

>>19503927
They could have at least made the catgirl a Scottish fold or Scottish wildcat. I'd assume the elf/maybe-dragon girl is supposed to be either a beithir or the Loch Ness monster as a monstergirl?

>>19503927
Does it taste like their piss?

>>19506641
dont all the trannies have anime girl profile pictures though

>>19503927
cuteeeee of course i want all that

>>19504024
Haven't they been doing this in Japan for literal decades?

>>19506649
that's just because they want to ruin anime for the rest of us

>>19504959
Gonna need more examples

>>19503927
no

drinking for novelty reasons like this is how you become an alcoholic

>>19506944
Yeah, only children, otaku and weeb foreigners eat that shit up.

>>19503927
I don't want trannies having anything to do with my whisky, if you give me this whisky for free even, even if you pay me, I'd pour it down the sewer

>>19504024
/ck/ was pretty amusing after the whole Arby's thing.

>>19503927
Yes. Where can I purchase this?

>>19503927
Scottish are of the real souls of the world

>>19507578
Shouldn't they be pro-roastie?

>>19503927
>slap anime girl on trash whisky
>goes from $50 a bottle to $80 a bottle

>>19504024
>Companies using anime girls in every random product they create in order to create associations with pre-existing parasocial relationships is weird
hate to burst your bubble, but its been a thing in asia for like 30 years now

yeah, whiskey is the only thing I look forward to anymore

>>19504024
time for bed grandpa

>>19505962
>"hey dumb coomer, here's porn so you'll buy our product, dumb fag"
there's a massive amount of vidya on steam with that exact premise, and they eat it up
if i ever saw OP's image in someone's house i would do a 360 and walk away, and let everyone we know they might be a pedophile.

>>19503927
No for 2 reasons, firstly i'm not really into whisky and secondly I fear that may be vtuber shit, I know there was one sake made by one of the vtubers so this might be the same, I don't want to financially support that shit, unless it was crunchy hime.

>>19504959
I feel like you're going to risk falling afoul of various advertising standards in different nations doing that.

>>19509454
Actually looking it up now they are looking at new alcohol advertising restrictions in scotland, although not anything that would strictly affect those bottles I think

>>19504024
>parasocial
only terminally online people use this word

>>19503927
Lamy's sake, maybe. Not scotch.

>>19503927
Kinda mid anime girls desu

Probably not. I hate decorative bottles of booze.

Yes. Whisky is good. Cask strength is better. Waifus are best.

>>19504024
seething weebshits replying to you confirm you correct

>>19507578
Bros... BRAND is just like me... brb gonna pick up some Arby's and FEAST nocap

>>19504024
Japan has been doing it for 50 years and you pissed and cummed over how "amazing" it was.

>>19503927
If it was japanese whiskey, even if a lot of cheap japanese whiskey is actually just scotch, it would at least make sense, but scottish whiskey from scotland with anime girls is just tacky.

>>19504024
your idea of "capitalism" is a vague undefined boogeyman. marketing and propaganda have forever been entwined like siamese twins, and it's states who have built all the real estate of that brand of mass psychological manipuation. capital investment is of no direct relevance to the colossal monster you're struggling to describe.

>>19505302
anime girl games are hit-or-miss, it's the stronk lesbian waman games that are universally shit.

>>19503927
if it's cheap and doesn't taste like complete as, sure

>>19503927
Probably wouldn't pay a premium for it but I'd get a bottle for shits and giggles if it's decent.

>>19504024
You'd think this would be common knowledge and everyone would be privy to corps doing this predatory shit(ie priDE MONth), but no, they are literal consumers who will develop alcoholism cause their waifu is on a bottle.

Vtuber flavored sake won bronze in a blind sake competition out of 1400 entries

>>19507578
>telling a fucking brand to credit the artist
Twittards have zero brains whatsoever. Just empty skulls

>>19504024
>tfw this would work on me but they never ever use the anime bitches I like
Checkmate capitalists.

>>19511033
You are capitalist

>>19510962
Damn, imagine if vtubers could do something fucking useful for society instead of make alcohol and steal wealth.

I fucking hate whiskey, so no.

Once threw out a bottle of stupidly expensive Jap whiskey (600€ retail) because whiskey is shit.

>>19503927
no because I am not a pedohpile and therefore couldn't care less about drawings of children

>>19511473
i would never drink jap whisky. whiskey is a british or american thing.

>>19510837
based post

>>19503927
There's no way I wouldn't drink an indie CS bottling just because it has an anime label.
I'm more concerned at the lack of distillery on the label (the highland park one is fine I guess).

Anyway yea, have drank animu whiskies at conventions.

>>19504024
I think that only matters if they're trying to shill an inferior product. These aren't that.
Even the Diageo distilleries are fairly honest with their marketing bottles. GoT Clynleish was tops.

>>19503927
If the whiskey was good and the girls didn't look like they were the first two things an AI generator shat out

>>19505009
You're not allowed to know.
My last purchased indie CS bottlings were 60-85 USD (90-125 AUD).
Do you buy blind?

>>19506470
It's an independent bottling. Yes it's legit, the spirit was purchased from the distillery. But then it was aged and bottled elsewhere.
You're basically better off buying independent bottlings exclusively if you're in that price bracket.
This thread has too many anime fans and not enough whisky fans.

>>19511378
One managed to get $10,000 out of me, that's good because I would have spent it on drugs.

>>19503947
How about this?

>>19511378
They provide a necessary outlet for sad worthless people. These people don’t start being productive members of society when you remove their vices. They become angry sociopaths.

>>19513960
Make it cumin cider and I’ll buy it

I can see where people are getting the idea they look a bit AI like but surely nobody would do that right, if you're gonna go to the effort of doing that you would have to be using a real artist surely

>>19514034
AI proved how anime is peak artslop

Slap some anime tiddies on a bottle of piss colored poison, see... now it's good!

>>19503927
would I drink great award winning scotch? yes

>>19514044
Reeeee! Don't invalidate my favorite type of art!!11

>>19504959

>>19510847
weirdly enough almost all youtube/twitch merch is just relabeled cheap product, like kitchen knives or shirts or whatever, they just buy bulk and put a print on it, BUT vtuber alcohol is unironically the exception, it's made from the bottom up in direct association with the vtuber with input from them, and the one I looked into a while back won some serious sake(or was it whiskey?) competitions and did extremely well in blind tests. so it might be one of the only products appealing to fans as primary marketing that isn't pure exploitation that I've ever seen.

>>19503927
I would pretend it was the best whiskey in the world.
