Long time listener first time caller.

Yeah. Guess I'm losing the macro implications in the jungle of my micro experience with it.

Sinfest was genuinly cool at the start but the artist has some weird male guilt thing going on I think and has decided to project it in the most fucked up ways like not just TERFism but also his opinions on sex and stuff. Weird guy.

Yeah I didnt process original Ashley as a child either, and in that case I was right because she was always canonically 20 lmao. I do prefer the remake changes though.

I do agree that theres a trend worth noting I guess, that the coomer stuff was originally characters that looked like Kasumi and now is characters that looke like Marie Rose. I just... wouldnt have noticed it that way because my brain doesnt process her that way. Namco is probably intentionally baiting for that though. I just didnt think of it. So it confuses me. Subjective experiances I guess.

Tbh I support this measure because theres no reason for characters who look like mid twenties to be canonically children.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago (3 children)

There's literally no reason for this lmao. These two could easily pass for like 25. Why do they insist on giving them canon ages under 18? Theres no story reason for it. Theres no reason for it with how they look? What is going on.

Yeah, I was legitimately creeped out by Marie Rose and Honoka when they were added to DOA5.

OK I'll probably look obsessive by replying to every comment but I cant get over this. I DO NOT get this. People seem fine when its Bridget (at least now, in her current edition) and she's similarly petite to Marie Rose?

And Honoka? Really? I havent even thought about it with her. I mean I guess now that i look at images of her, she IS in a schoolgirl outfit lmao. But I wouldnt have processed her as any less than 19 based on apperance.

What is going on?

I mean like I said in my reply to the parent, I just dont process Marie Rose as a child lmao. I'm always blindsided when I see this discourse.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago (10 children)

so that was better than the "she's totally 18 you guys" lolis that koei added in doa 6 and late doa 5 versions.

Is this about Marie Rose? She's the only character I can think of that could be read like this? Idk if thats the intent or not but Marie Rose just looks like a petite adult woman to me, 18-20. Should could pass for younger but I just... dont process things that way lmao? I've never been able to with Japanese media characters people say "look underage" unless they literally look pre or very early pubescent. Just not something that processes in my brain.

Like you mention Talim as well, with Talim I was surprised when I learned her age lmao. I again processed her as a petite adult (though I was myself younger than 15 when I played SC2 lol). Amy I suppose looks her canon age though even though I hadn't thought of it before.

Same with Street Fighter Lily as well. I''ve seen so much "she looks underage' discourse and I'm just like what? She just looks petite. Adults can be petite? And in her case there's no canon information otherwise.

Idk maybe I just have something broken in my brain because everyone says this lmao.

This isnt even a "please let me goon to these characters in peace" thing lmao I dont care about that. I just find the common perception around them odd because thats just not how my brain processes them.

Yeah, good advice but hard for me to do. My instinct is to share.

Your experience gives you biased insight

Mostly this.

Seem, I always defended the game just based on "linear isnt bad", not really thinking about the reasons why its linear.

Ive also always been confused why FFX is well liked despite... also being very linear up until it opens up at the end? But XIII got memed for hallways???

 

Example that just came up in a discord I'm in: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. I havent played this game but someone who had said the game's story of "Roxas hates his day job but tolerates it because afterwards he can hang out with his friends" is enhanced by the gameplay being "player hates the mission structure but they tolerate it because the story cutscenes are amazing"

Someone else said they doubt that was intentional, and I agree. But I asked the question of whether Death of the Author applies to game mechanics.

I say yes. But its something I hadnt considered before for sure.

 
 

Also I found this because Marvel is doing this: https://www.thepopverse.com/marvel-pride-month-2024 so theres a pattern
