Art styles aren't picked randomly out of a hat. Humans are pattern matching machines and will draw conclusions based on choice of art style or mascot.

> classic corporate caricature of a person with unnatural body proportions

Corporate Memphis is an abomination and I harshly judge any company that uses it. Everyone hates Corporate Memphis and makes fun of it.

IMHO Corporate Memphis is much worse than anime art. "You have small brain" is the message it seems to imply.

I don't necessarily disagree. But in either case the point is "it's just an art style" is wrong. People make judgement calls based on art. It's just human nature.
