Pseudo-cidal

Pseudo-cidal is a word referencing the over use of the word "suicidal" for individuals who claim they are suicidal when there is no clinical evidence of suicidal thoughts/history/severe depression or when individuals will claim they are suicidal to gain an psychiatric inpatient admission for housing/food, and/or use the statement that they are suicidal when they are drunk/high and retract their suicidality once sober.
1. Dude, I have a court date today and I'm going to go to the hospital for the "pseudo-cidal".

2. This patient displays no evidence of suicidal thoughts or plans and appears to be intoxicated upon eval and expressing "pseudo-cidal" presentation.

Pseudo comedy

A piece of media that claims to be a "comedy" even though the work in question isn't funny at all and or is cringey AF. A pseudo comedy can also become so bad its good by being so unfunny it becomes funny in the process think the film the room for example.
Guy A. :have you seen the new Adam Sandler movie ? Guy B. :Yes it was incredibly unfunny. a true pseudo comedy if I say so myself. You would have to be dumb as an ape to enjoy that film.

pseudo-TAWOG art style

An inconsistency in an art style that is not considered to have a different logic, and is treated as if it has the same art style as the other parts of an artwork. Usually happens when the artist loves cute art but for some reason, they're forced to draw realistically, usually the humans (usually because the community expects someone to draw realistically instead of simple art styles, or having afraid of being ashamed just because they draw cartoony, or for art / art portfolio showcase, or a combination of these)

TAWOG logic: having different art styles and each art style works consistently in a 3D, realistic world (sometimes pre-rendered realistic world backgrounds), with their characteristics. This can also apply when a cartoon shows a strong expression that the face becomes realistic for a short time or a real photo

TAWOG logic but pseudo: the animals are cartoony and the humans are realistic, but they seem as if both are realistic and have no differences in logic. Only we the audience can see them having different art styles. An exception when the humans came from games/cartoons/etc where they're not realistically drawn and they're put in artwork with this kind of art style, collab/fanart human characters are seen as if they're drawn in the artwork, both seen by themselves in that world and by the audience

Without TAWOG logic: all characters see each other as realistic or as if they're drawn, regardless of their art style unless they are made aware of their art style
I write this definition because for some reason, I'm annoyed by pseudo-TAWOG art styles. Nobody understood what I mean when I wrote my opinion on r/unpopularopinion. This is subjective, especially about art preferences, since beauty standards are different for each person

Usually, pseudo-TAWOG art styles have non-chibi anime-styled humans or Western-comic-styled humans. They're so many examples if you explore cute artworks but I cannot tell you which artists since I don't want them to feel offended (but I give you a clue for an example artist: the one who has a famous orange guy emoji, usually used in memes and Discord. I love this emoji but unfortunately, the artist doesn't draw cartoony humans frequently and prefers realistic humans in her drawings. Her old handle has a cartoony knight profile picture made by herself and the handle was knight-related). Use Pinterest and hashtags (Twitter and Instagram) to discover new artists and use Yandex for identifying the OP (Baidu if the artists are Mainland Chinese)
