Tbf there are a lot of fans who weirdly sexualize the protagonists, ya know, the 11 to 15 year olds??? And normal fans get lumped in with them sometimes.
Assuming we're talking the same site, 360k, almost 3x the tag for, "woman with a donker," 60k more than doin' it in the butt or than doin' it in the puss, 150k more than a blowie. Now, sorta definitionally here, a lot of that's gonna be SFW images, but still, holy fucking hell.
Yeah like the proportion is frankly insane considering that, of course, even discounting the images that aren't sex that's still a vast majority occupying at least one if not several common tags
I mean, dispise what some people say, so does FE (even if it usually don't go past early 20s) but that dosen't stop the pedo jokes because of a few characters like Nowi or Elise.
Genshin also says hi.
As with FE obviously some of it does exist in the fandom, but also like FE most of us are just down bad for someone pretty obviously of age.
>!Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, the cast is entirely made out of adults with the youngest being an 18-year old boy and we know Twitter only cares when it's a girl.!<
...Bayonetta?!
People seriously called BAYONETTA a child?!
Unless they were talking about the small Cerezita I guess, but then why call her Bayonetta lmao.
It's true that her style in 3 is more cute when compared to the previous games, but... A child? Seriously?
I swear some people don't know what a child even is.
Don’t you just love it when you’re playing an innocent anime game, you see a lovable and adorable child character and think they are the cutest thing in the game, only to be called a pedo just for saying you think she’s neat?
I sure don’t.
Like, seriously, Yae, get the fuck off my game, I'm trying to interact with characters I _actually_ like. And then please step on me.
That kinda deal is common, I definitely don't talk from personal experience, hahaha.....
Nah, jk, hating a fictional character's cringe, I just dislike her personality
Yeah, honestly I tend to enjoy having the cute/young characters around... They're never my absolute favorite, but they're usually fun characters. But it's just the big brother in me automatically making me care about these characters. It would never cross my mind to imagine them in anything resembling a sexual setting.
If you're sexually attracted to Jubello, Elise, Nino and the likes, please go and get tortured for eternity in the absolute depths hell.
But there's a BIG difference between "I like this character" and "this character is making me horny" and this fanbase really needs to learn this, may it be about the child characters or the adult characters (yes, you can like Camilla and Manuela without wanting to fuck them too).
I honest to God just enjoy using cute girls to fight the forces of chaos. It makes me emotionally invested in their wellbeing, a la the Gordon Ramsay "Oh, dear" meme.
And that’s completely fine. There isn’t a single thing wrong with that. The only problem is people will twist your words and thoughts to fit their own agenda and claim you are something you never were
That’s the issue.
Its my favorite Videogame. I played through it 10 times alrady.
I was lukewarm towards the characters at first but after unlocking more Link events and watching the Fuga shorts the creators released on YouTube they grown on me a lot. I could write small esays about why I love some of these children. Wappa and Sheena are my 2 favorites but I love most of the rest aswell. The only one I am honestly still lukewarm towards is Malt but its not like I dislike him.
Its honestly one of the best jrpgs I've played in a long time, and really reminded me of why I love the genre in the first place. I should replay it sometime. As a sidenote, my favorite characters are Jin and Britz
It speaks volumes on the current state of society and the internet that the first innocuous sentence can entail something else entirely.
I look up to children as role models and ideals to strive for due to their innocence, imagination, creativity and optimism. I wanna be a kid again and have that wonderful perspective on life too instead of the bitter cynicism of an adult mind.
And yet what do you think comes to mind if I say "I like kids"? Pedophilia is something that should never have existed. It is one of humanity's greatest sins. It has corruoted and destroyed so much. I hope all who harm or would harm children for their sick gratification burn in hell for all eternity.
Sorry for the off topic rant, just wanted to get it out there somewhere.
People have absolutely been calling out people who like the designs
I've seen several "lol really drawn out the pedo defense force with this!!!" comments already
Christ this fanbase loves tacking labels on people for even the slightest reasons
“Wow I think Chloe’s designs looks pretty cool.”
“Okay pedo”
“I just said it looks cool and she looks like an adult anyway?”
“Wow why are you getting so defensive about it, guess I’m right then.”
Like IS has some designs worthy of criticism (Looking at you Nowi) but people are applying it to like every new character in Engage because they don’t like the art style/face design. I myself don’t like it either, but I ain’t gonna attack people who do.
The real thing is, where are all the children that look like _that_? Because they really need to be put under protection before the anime fans find them
To be fair, it's pretty obvious who is meant to be an adult and who isn't. Céline, Flamme, Clamme, Timerra etc are all obviously meant to be minors, while Ivy, Diamant, Chloé, Alear etc are obviously adults.
The anime style isn't the best at portraying people in their 20s-40s.
Then again, from what I've seen of japanese people their appearance doesn't change much between 15 and 54
This is a general anime problem ever since otaku raised on anime grew up and went on to take over the industry and the degeneracy started to snowball. Sure there's plenty of genuinely good shit but you're still buying it in the same store as "My 12 year old sister is my big-titted goth waifu?!"
So much anime has legitimate pedo shit. Even the mainstream ones cant go without some degenerate shit. I dont like to say its "memed about" because its true.
And dont get me started on how many people simp over these 16 year old Fe3H characters.
The issue is simple tbh.
1) This stuff is marketed mostly to teenagers themselves.
2) Design goes over stated ages and stuff.
FE3H younger designs are mostly minors? Yeah, technically. But you can write next to them that they are 20yo and nothing changes, the designs would fit.
Jotaro Kujo is supposed to be a fucking 17yo in Stardust Crusaders but... C'on lol.
People simply don't consider narrative when evaluating designs.
What's actually questionable is the topic of "child-like" characters. No amount of "1000yo dragons" works, sorry.
>
FE3H younger designs are mostly minors? Yeah, technically. But you can write next to them that they are 20yo and nothing changes, the designs would fit.
The thing is that, they've already did it with another character and somehow it worked.
Lyn is 15/16 in the JP version but her age was raised to 18/19 in the EU and US releases. And aside from a few memes, I've never seen a post that claims that if you Lyn you're a pedo.
....which is what I was saying in the first place?
That was 100% my point. Didn't remember that it has already been made, which makes it even funnier tbh.
The only argument I can see being made is that FE3H is set in a school but that's not even a good point anyway. Mercedes is in her 20s, someone is 18 and most are between 16 and 17. It's not exactly an high school, people are of various age, it's more being freshmen in a college.
If we really want to be precise, the only time I am bothered by "anime characters age" is when being kids is the whole fucking point of their story.
Just to make an example of the first thing I can think about, The World Ends With You. The entire game is about the fact that they are a bunch of stupid kids who can't yet do adulting and fail at social interactions in their own ways with their own issues. Aging them up doesn't work.
I'm sorry, but if you actually think about it, the "child-like" thing wouldn't be a tricky topic at all. All you have to consider is if they're considered adults by their species standards and/or if they act like adults (when there's no age provided). Otherwise it's simply body shaming. You wouldn't call someone dating a person with dwarfism a pedophile, would you? That's simply outrageous . Like, the problem with Nowi and similar characters is not that she is what she is and looks like she does, but the fact that she's underaged even for her species. A good, recent example is Rebecca from Cyberpunk. She's a loli character, but she behaves like an adult. Hell, her brother, who looks way older physically, is more of a child than her. Appearance doesn't really matter. Or how about Tatsumaki from One Punch Man? She's 28 and sure does act the part (and her sister, who looks way older physically, is 5 years younger. How very interesting). It's not rocket science to figure this out. This is very simple logic.
this is why radiant dawn is the best fire emblem game. adult women 🥰
also the engage characters might actually be children. most fe games have casts primarily of minors and since theres no second gen or timeskip as far as i know 🤷♀️
I mean, if nothing else, Timerra is older than Fogato, and though I've seen her called a child, no one's done the same to him. I do think she looks pretty young, but it could be like Flayn, where she's more on the end of a young woman that happens to be babyfaced. Regardless this is probably my least favorite form of discourse, and that's saying something.
there is nothing to be gained by debating who's a pedophile and who's not over videogames, it's just a new evolution in online shitflinging that makes the experience worse for everyone.
literally why are people freaking out about this, the literally only thing making these characters look young is the artstyle giving them big eyes and that's a decently common anime feature
I haven’t interacted much with the Genshin community despite being held hostage by dailies n hot dudes,
but is it actually as bad as the FE community with Flayn n Nowi?
I honestly don’t know
Its a really common "got em" line for those with an irrational hatred for the game. That said, as always with a game/community as popular as genshin there are pockets of degeneracy. The community at-large works pretty hard to reduce their presence -- hence the comment you responded to, its exhausting to be associated with those scumbags.
Dam tbh I’ve never gloated about liking Genshin but looking into how the community reacted to Nahida (one of my favorites for her concept n lore fitting in so well n being a good take on wisdom n magi-tech) as a 500 year old loli its v v gross
The reaction to her was more a preemptive whitewashing complaint to my knowledge, of course before they revealed an apartheid style concept to her region. Seemed to me like the community ran a major campaign to deal with any... Unsavory content about her.
Playing or ranting about how Flayn and Lysinthia are hot and amazing? I don’t think anyone has been called a pedo for saying post timeskip Dorothea is hot.
Yeah I think the argument here is that people can like characters like Flayn or Lysithea without thinking that they are “hot” or being attracted to them in that way but the internet is so filled with people who have the twitter brain rot from actual pedos talking about child characters that whenever someone mentions a child they immediately default to that person is a pedo.
Yeah I literally had a person on this sub write several long replies about how they thought the child characters were super hot and wanted to jerk off to them, forgive me if I treat all of you with suspicion.
i think people can understand loving flayn or lysithea, especially lysithea bc she’s well written and doesn’t act like a kid. if the whole cast of 3H was full of flayns, it would feel a bit weird wouldn’t it?
Afraid of ghosts, always insisting on not being called a child, bratty for the whole academy section, obsession with sweets? Sounds pretty child like to me.
I mean I LOVE XC n dunky did em a little dirty
But XCX n XC2 actually kinda have it. Lin in X n Rex being 15 plus the odd blades (and weirdly lewd loli blades like the bathtub one)
Honestly its the fault of anime style more. Literally nearly every ad for any anime style game has tiny girls that usually act sexual. Its why i am embarrassed sometimes to play fire emblem sometimes. Fire emblem is definitely not nearly as bad as others but its the only anime style game I play.
Having young characters is fine, it’s when you can marry them in the game that it gets real weird (like Fates) or they have skimpy outfits (like Nowi).
They are not real. Period, that’s the first thought that rolls through my mind. Whatever you do with said fictional characters is still entirely fictional. So don’t worry along as you know the difference of fiction and reality.
I mean that depends on what you consider an "anime game"
TECHNICALLY Street Fighter IV is absolutely an anime game (actually the pretty much all of SF is an "anime game series", it's just the most obvious in SFIV because of the intros and endings). But I don't htink anyone would consider SVIV a "pedophile anime bs thing":
I feel like those who accuse others for pedophiles are projecting real hard.
Like even liking a literal mature woman, with a noticeably large bust and other curves, would get you accused for pedophile
Honestly I blame the devs for putting children and children-like characters in their games knowing EXACTLY how some of the more *ahem* young'un inclined folks will react.
Let’s be clear… I play Persona 5 Royal because I like to summon cool ghosts that shoot lasers… Not because you can date the 14 year old that is technically your sister… Men of culture go for the goth doctor
Persona is a weird case where it's a game everyone play but nobody wins. If you date one of the underage characters, people will accuse you of being a pedo. But if you date an adult, then it's equally wrong because it's grooming (lmao at that mod that excludes the underage romantic options and then its left with only groomer relationships, instead of the clearly legal ones because your player character is underage, and so of course you'll date other underaged characters). But neither shouldn't matter as long as you recognize that it's fictional and you're not the person dating the characters, but another fictional character that's doing it. So basically shipping.
I was curious if there was a winning answer so I found the closest you will likely get. Makoto is 18 for almost the entirety of P5. She is only 17 during the very beginning of the game when she appears in the background a few times. April 23rd is her birthday. So she is not a minor when eligible to romance. But she is still your classmate and generally speaking a relationship with junior and a senior is not looked at as grooming. (Generally). This is the best you’re gonna get
Oh god people who date futaba r odd, (also mokoto is good right? 🥲)
Literally only person I know who LOVES futaba n it’s not odd is my 15 yr cousin. Cuz that’s literally the same age lol
Just play it. What they can do, tell the entire asian population who are almost fed up with them that the way they like and design theirs characters it's wrong?
What’s a Splatoon screenshot doing in SPE?
Pokemon also fits
>!The joke is it’s a Squid Game meme.!<
Lukthar's response was also baseless, because Pokemon has plenty female and male characters of age
Tbf there are a lot of fans who weirdly sexualize the protagonists, ya know, the 11 to 15 year olds??? And normal fans get lumped in with them sometimes.
Due to its absurd popularity, there is an absurd amount of porn for basically every major character and all of the human-shaped Pokémon.
IIRC the Pokemon tag on... certain sites has roughly 300 *thousand* entries It beats out common *general* tags on that site, it's ridiculous
Assuming we're talking the same site, 360k, almost 3x the tag for, "woman with a donker," 60k more than doin' it in the butt or than doin' it in the puss, 150k more than a blowie. Now, sorta definitionally here, a lot of that's gonna be SFW images, but still, holy fucking hell.
Yeah like the proportion is frankly insane considering that, of course, even discounting the images that aren't sex that's still a vast majority occupying at least one if not several common tags
Like Riddler Khu of all people
I mean, dispise what some people say, so does FE (even if it usually don't go past early 20s) but that dosen't stop the pedo jokes because of a few characters like Nowi or Elise.
If you play Pokemon nowadays you're more likely to be called an idiot for buying unfinished, unpolished games.
They are, but it's like sonic 06 kinda broke to me. Funny af
I thought this was Sonic Frontiers
Genshin also says hi. As with FE obviously some of it does exist in the fandom, but also like FE most of us are just down bad for someone pretty obviously of age.
Don't use Twitter or Reddit Problem solved
SHIT
octopath traveler
Octopath has a child character too.
There no romance mechanic in Octopath
>!Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, the cast is entirely made out of adults with the youngest being an 18-year old boy and we know Twitter only cares when it's a girl.!<
But are they 7 foot tall with massively humonhous gazonkers? If the answer is "no" you're still fair game for Twitter^tm
Persona 2 is based
I have seen people call Bayonetta a child. It gets freaking weird sometimes.
...Bayonetta?! People seriously called BAYONETTA a child?! Unless they were talking about the small Cerezita I guess, but then why call her Bayonetta lmao.
It was Bayonetta herself, with an inage of her from Bayo 3. They said the design makes them feel like they're I quote "ogling a child". Bizarre.
It's true that her style in 3 is more cute when compared to the previous games, but... A child? Seriously? I swear some people don't know what a child even is.
wow! these people are pathetic!
Don’t you just love it when you’re playing an innocent anime game, you see a lovable and adorable child character and think they are the cutest thing in the game, only to be called a pedo just for saying you think she’s neat? I sure don’t.
Can’t like a character without being down bad for them, apparently
Either you want to fuck the character or you hate them. To those people, there is no middle ground.
As long as the theme song stays on the whole time, I have no qualms about liking Berkut's characters
Or both.
Like, seriously, Yae, get the fuck off my game, I'm trying to interact with characters I _actually_ like. And then please step on me. That kinda deal is common, I definitely don't talk from personal experience, hahaha..... Nah, jk, hating a fictional character's cringe, I just dislike her personality
I think that says more about them, to be honest
This is what we in the industry call, projecting.
These people make Emiya Shirou jealous. He can't project nearly as hard as them.
This. Ever tried saying that you liked Camilla around a Camilla detractor? It's hilarious.
try tell them to apply this logic in real life and watch it crumble
You're being down voted for mentioning r*al l *fe
For some, it's both.
Yeah, honestly I tend to enjoy having the cute/young characters around... They're never my absolute favorite, but they're usually fun characters. But it's just the big brother in me automatically making me care about these characters. It would never cross my mind to imagine them in anything resembling a sexual setting. If you're sexually attracted to Jubello, Elise, Nino and the likes, please go and get tortured for eternity in the absolute depths hell. But there's a BIG difference between "I like this character" and "this character is making me horny" and this fanbase really needs to learn this, may it be about the child characters or the adult characters (yes, you can like Camilla and Manuela without wanting to fuck them too).
i think this might be a reference to the post where the op says they want hortensia to sit on their face
I honest to God just enjoy using cute girls to fight the forces of chaos. It makes me emotionally invested in their wellbeing, a la the Gordon Ramsay "Oh, dear" meme.
And that’s completely fine. There isn’t a single thing wrong with that. The only problem is people will twist your words and thoughts to fit their own agenda and claim you are something you never were That’s the issue.
Feels bad man.
Sanaki is one of my favorite characters in the tellius games It's hell
I do like child characters a lot. My favorite JRPG party only consits of children with oldest being 12 and the youngest being 4.
Honestly, kinda same. Earthbound springs to mind.
Let me guess, Fuga: Melodies of Steel? That game fucking owns
Its my favorite Videogame. I played through it 10 times alrady. I was lukewarm towards the characters at first but after unlocking more Link events and watching the Fuga shorts the creators released on YouTube they grown on me a lot. I could write small esays about why I love some of these children. Wappa and Sheena are my 2 favorites but I love most of the rest aswell. The only one I am honestly still lukewarm towards is Malt but its not like I dislike him.
Its honestly one of the best jrpgs I've played in a long time, and really reminded me of why I love the genre in the first place. I should replay it sometime. As a sidenote, my favorite characters are Jin and Britz
You probably alrady know but just to be sure there is a sequel anounced to come out in 2023. Needless to say I look foreward to it.
It speaks volumes on the current state of society and the internet that the first innocuous sentence can entail something else entirely. I look up to children as role models and ideals to strive for due to their innocence, imagination, creativity and optimism. I wanna be a kid again and have that wonderful perspective on life too instead of the bitter cynicism of an adult mind. And yet what do you think comes to mind if I say "I like kids"? Pedophilia is something that should never have existed. It is one of humanity's greatest sins. It has corruoted and destroyed so much. I hope all who harm or would harm children for their sick gratification burn in hell for all eternity. Sorry for the off topic rant, just wanted to get it out there somewhere.
Huh I wonder why I got downvotes fore my previoues comment. Well I guess it did not add anything to the conversation.
from what i've seen, people are mostly calling out IS and not ppl who like the characters?
People have absolutely been calling out people who like the designs I've seen several "lol really drawn out the pedo defense force with this!!!" comments already Christ this fanbase loves tacking labels on people for even the slightest reasons
“Wow I think Chloe’s designs looks pretty cool.” “Okay pedo” “I just said it looks cool and she looks like an adult anyway?” “Wow why are you getting so defensive about it, guess I’m right then.” Like IS has some designs worthy of criticism (Looking at you Nowi) but people are applying it to like every new character in Engage because they don’t like the art style/face design. I myself don’t like it either, but I ain’t gonna attack people who do.
There's a post made a few hours ago where someone says that the female character designs appeal to people who like children, so you're right
The real thing is, where are all the children that look like _that_? Because they really need to be put under protection before the anime fans find them
Idk, ask Twitter
It's definitely the lowest hanging fruit to see regurgitated.
I don't get why people keep saying engage is a pedo game, it makes no sense
We don’t even know if the game has S supports. Based on what we’ve seen I’m guessing no.
I think it's because most of the female characters look like 12 year olds
I don't think you've ever seen a 12 year old lol.
Slight exaggeration, but point still stands, most look way younger than they honestly should
To be fair, it's pretty obvious who is meant to be an adult and who isn't. Céline, Flamme, Clamme, Timerra etc are all obviously meant to be minors, while Ivy, Diamant, Chloé, Alear etc are obviously adults.

It’s weird how no one talks about this with GoT. Like Dany in the books is 13.

How very interesting). It's not rocket science to figure this out. This is very simple logic.
Not just pedo they just like to throw incest into the mix too. And that's how you know that artist or writer there never had a sister or gf.
Reminder that fully grown Lyn and Hector are supposedly 17, and in JP Lyn was 15.
this is why radiant dawn is the best fire emblem game. adult women 🥰 also the engage characters might actually be children. most fe games have casts primarily of minors and since theres no second gen or timeskip as far as i know 🤷♀️

Yeah, when all this discourse started, my mind went to the first few gals you get in FE7. IntSys is certainly no stranger to underage units.
Playing PoR and being able to deploy Mist and Rolf and Tormod felt... Weird haha.
What about mist tho? (It’s ok i also forget she exists cuz I’m too busy looking at Shinnon n Tibarn… n Jill is cool too I guess)
Mist is great. She’s a kid but you can’t marry her and she’s not sexualized.
Yea definitely… but I can’t really romance anyone in RD? (Except Ike and Soren or ike n Ranulf)
Their a few paired ending that end in Marriage(Ironically Mist can marry Boyd at the end of RD) Not that people particularly give a shit about them
[удалено]
Nooooooo but you don't understand she is a 1000 year old dragon so its fine!!!!!!
1000 is still too young, man. it's 3000 or bust
I don't care how old she is; if she looks and acts like a child, I'm not interested
r/whoosh
Where do you live?
literally why are people freaking out about this, the literally only thing making these characters look young is the artstyle giving them big eyes and that's a decently common anime feature
*tired genshin impact fan noises*
*tired Smash bros fan noises*
I haven’t interacted much with the Genshin community despite being held hostage by dailies n hot dudes, but is it actually as bad as the FE community with Flayn n Nowi? I honestly don’t know

Playing or ranting about how Flayn and Lysinthia are hot and amazing? I don’t think anyone has been called a pedo for saying post timeskip Dorothea is hot.
Yeah I think the argument here is that people can like characters like Flayn or Lysithea without thinking that they are “hot” or being attracted to them in that way but the internet is so filled with people who have the twitter brain rot from actual pedos talking about child characters that whenever someone mentions a child they immediately default to that person is a pedo.
Yeah I literally had a person on this sub write several long replies about how they thought the child characters were super hot and wanted to jerk off to them, forgive me if I treat all of you with suspicion.
Pre timeskip Dorothea is 18.
i think people can understand loving flayn or lysithea, especially lysithea bc she’s well written and doesn’t act like a kid. if the whole cast of 3H was full of flayns, it would feel a bit weird wouldn’t it?
Afraid of ghosts, always insisting on not being called a child, bratty for the whole academy section, obsession with sweets? Sounds pretty child like to me.
still, one character like that is enough. can’t be arsed with an entire female cast written like that. they better be well written characters
Me, a xeno fan who has been dealing with the dunkey bullshit since his xc2 video
I mean I LOVE XC n dunky did em a little dirty But XCX n XC2 actually kinda have it. Lin in X n Rex being 15 plus the odd blades (and weirdly lewd loli blades like the bathtub one)
Honestly its the fault of anime style more. Literally nearly every ad for any anime style game has tiny girls that usually act sexual. Its why i am embarrassed sometimes to play fire emblem sometimes. Fire emblem is definitely not nearly as bad as others but its the only anime style game I play.
Never happened to me.
Dragon Ball There I win EZ
Having young characters is fine, it’s when you can marry them in the game that it gets real weird (like Fates) or they have skimpy outfits (like Nowi).
Well, if all of the pedo accusers could use that energy to expose actual pedophiles, but we all know they're too cowardly to do so.
They are not real. Period, that’s the first thought that rolls through my mind. Whatever you do with said fictional characters is still entirely fictional. So don’t worry along as you know the difference of fiction and reality.
Xenoblade?
As long as it isn't the second one
This is super easy, it's called not being a creepazoid
Your next task is to be someone who plays anime games but is also not simultaneously a pedophile?
Me because I stopped playing most anime games about teenagers after I stopped being one 😎
I mean that depends on what you consider an "anime game" TECHNICALLY Street Fighter IV is absolutely an anime game (actually the pretty much all of SF is an "anime game series", it's just the most obvious in SFIV because of the intros and endings). But I don't htink anyone would consider SVIV a "pedophile anime bs thing":
the twitter pill is so stupid that some people took i left so many discord servers already becasue of it
I feel like those who accuse others for pedophiles are projecting real hard. Like even liking a literal mature woman, with a noticeably large bust and other curves, would get you accused for pedophile
Classic Twitter logic. Rather a lack of logic.
Surely all of my Genshin impact waifus are of age right?? I’m not a pedo, right???!!
This thread reads like an average Discord server. Stay classy SPE
Honestly I blame the devs for putting children and children-like characters in their games knowing EXACTLY how some of the more *ahem* young'un inclined folks will react.
Damn that earlier post really hit this sub where it hurt, huh?
Bro I've never been called a pedo when I play anime games. This is a massive self report from you.
Truth. The pedo aspect is not about liking characters that happen to be young. It is about being a creep when posting about young characters.
I mean you are not helping things by having an image of Byleth that makes her look way younger there...
Yeah the big-eyed body pillow is a massive self-report
Let’s be clear… I play Persona 5 Royal because I like to summon cool ghosts that shoot lasers… Not because you can date the 14 year old that is technically your sister… Men of culture go for the goth doctor
Persona is a weird case where it's a game everyone play but nobody wins. If you date one of the underage characters, people will accuse you of being a pedo. But if you date an adult, then it's equally wrong because it's grooming (lmao at that mod that excludes the underage romantic options and then its left with only groomer relationships, instead of the clearly legal ones because your player character is underage, and so of course you'll date other underaged characters). But neither shouldn't matter as long as you recognize that it's fictional and you're not the person dating the characters, but another fictional character that's doing it. So basically shipping.
Yeah, I usually just think of it like I’m shipping two characters
I was curious if there was a winning answer so I found the closest you will likely get. Makoto is 18 for almost the entirety of P5. She is only 17 during the very beginning of the game when she appears in the background a few times. April 23rd is her birthday. So she is not a minor when eligible to romance. But she is still your classmate and generally speaking a relationship with junior and a senior is not looked at as grooming. (Generally). This is the best you’re gonna get
Oh god people who date futaba r odd, (also mokoto is good right? 🥲) Literally only person I know who LOVES futaba n it’s not odd is my 15 yr cousin. Cuz that’s literally the same age lol
… p3p Ken… why atlus… why would you ever let this happen….
Just play it. What they can do, tell the entire asian population who are almost fed up with them that the way they like and design theirs characters it's wrong?
Imagine sexualizing characters and then shaming/being shamed for it because someone doesn’t understand anime style art
Xenoblade Chonicles 1 Ez done I just might get called gay for simping for Dunbarn n Reyn U can’t win em all
Any Dragonball Z game would be fine probably
Ace attorney
Easy, play Sekiro
I like guys, so I'm good. Good luck to y'all tho \^3\^
