A model of aesthetics that prioritizes higher degrees of visual fidelity and/ or physics simulations in a work.
While realism describes specific works, realisticism describes the mindset that judges or critics may have when viewing them. Contemporarily appears most often in the discussion of video game graphics, juxtaposed against those who advocate for artistic stylization.
The largest critique of realisticism is that its proponents fail to "see the forest for the trees," confusing likeness to reality for immersion; if things necessarily had to be accurate to reality to be appreciated, the fantasy genre as we know it wouldn't exist.

If it wasn't for the average person's wonton realisticism, maybe we'd see cooler designs in video games. Does anyone /really/ need to see their virtual horse crap itself every five minutes?

Get the Realism Uchiha mug.A reality joke is a joke told, but the joke turns out to be reality, or a real situation. This can be unintentional, as in someone has no idea the joke is about something real. But it is often intentional, where someone knows the situation is real, and makes the joke to make fun of someone or something. So a reality joke gift would be a gag gift or a joke type gift. The gift is given either to be funny, as in the gift giver has no idea the joke is reality; or the gift can be given to make fun of someone, as in the gift giver knows the joke is reality or based in reality.
I, Ted Rimmel Jr have been on the receiving end of a reality joke gift. This was before it was known that I was involved in a secret love affair with my mother. But accurate rumors and gossip began to spread about it. Anyhow, it was my birthday party. At the party were a large group of my friends, my sister, and my mom (all adults). I proceeded to open gifts. One gift was women's sexy lingerie, nylon stockings, a pair of high heels. Next gift was a carton of condoms (12 dozen). Next was an envelope containing a letter stating that Mom and I had use of a friend's cabin for two weeks.My friends explained "The lingerie, nylons, heels is for your mother. The condoms are for you. The cabin is for both of you to spend two weeks alone together. In the cabin your mom wears the lingerie, nylons, heels, you wear the condoms, then you get your true birthday gift. Happy Birthday Ted!! An absolute reality joke gift.
