>>108082028It's because the term has became a meme.
The thing was created by John K to talk about Disney-like styles, specifically used to mock The Iron Giant.
Some dude brought it back to describe the 2010's bean face and normies believed it (even tho, for example, Rebecca never went to CalArts, and this sort of style dominance is normal in american animation).
We now use it as both a buzzword for lame half assed criticism and a meme, you guys would know it if you actually browsed /co/.
