You rarely see violence against children depicted in the media for the same reasons that you rarely see children being sexualized: children are innocent, and it’s totally gross to put them in those circumstances. I get that the characters are animated, but the implication is still there and still gross.

Maybe because we haven’t been murdered but a whole bunch of us have been (or know people who have been) sexualized and abused as children.

“Nubile young humans”

Fucking barf, dude.

So, I’m *trying* for the first time in years to try to give anime a reasonable chance because my newly 10-year old daughter loves the animation style and wants to watch it. We’re mostly bumping around Netflix, since we both love the new Voltron (I don’t really consider that anime, btw) and the one we happened into to…

I came here to post this example... Fire Emblem Heroes’ reddit had a bit of an internal argument about Nowi getting a Halloween outfit that was somehow even more riske than her normal inappropriate attire. It amazed me how I actually had to argue with people that it’s NOT ok. Like, people were legitimately defending…

I’ll also throw in Bravely Default. Don’t watch anime but play lots of Japanese games and, at times... ick

First off - this is very relevant

Crap like this, and the response of “just get over it” is part of the reason I stopped watching Anime.

That’s pretty much most anime these days.

I really think games like this shouldn’t exist and I’m surprised women don’t speak up more about this. As a father of a little girl this makes me mad. Especially in the light of all these sexual allegations that are in the news these days the last thing we need is a game that encourages and feeds into that behavior…

They just look underage, they are actually 21+... And still in school... Or something...

THANK YOU.

It’s Japan, so they get a free pass or something???

But they’re animated right? So what the problem?

....besides everything of course.

Is it okay if I’m really incredibly creeped out by this? I mean... all the fanservice is one thing but this is rather explicitly about underage girls.

I agree, but mainly just because handles are not professional. Various companies may have origins of all kinds, gaming origins are certainly unique, but not special, and a professional setting still mandates ‘business attire’ at company meetings; it just looks good and sends a professional image/message. Esports may…

Meandering from the main topic here for a minute; Your wording on that last line strikes a chord with me. Recently I’ve found myself in situations where I was forced to explain to others in conversation why they ‘should in fact care about other people’. As if suddenly it has become a celebrated practice to pretend…

And did you hear that Ubisoft comment about PS5 and next Xbox possibly coming in 2 years? Kind of jerks for taking the wind out of the X1X launch.

I’m almost completely sure breasts do not work that way.

In the drawn version of the character (the current header image of this article), there’s something that’s bothering me:

What in the name of all fired fuck is up with her breasts?

I mean, I get it—fanservicey outfit is fanservicey—but, I mean, what the hell? I’m no Lothario, but I had my fair share of relationships…
