Actually I thought I was pointing out what made the picture funny. It wouldn’t be funny if it was an actual active self protection manual.

Rick and Morty is a great example. Admiring Rick or thinking he’s smart is not the point of the show. The ‘High IQ’ fans that think Rick is admirable, and that the show is for smart people just out themselves as brainlets.

so todays big stupid controversy is basement neck breads getting mad that people don’t call rebcca from edgerunners a “loli” because they’re a bunch smooth brains that don’t know what a short stack or petite is.
this “people” can all shut up because they are stupid with no worthwhile thoughts in there heads.

She doesn’t look or act like a loli. Barely looks human, but that’s aside from the point.

I wasn’t aware there was any strict behavior when it came to lolis. Outside of what’s normal for a young girl. As for look, that’s debatable, even plated in metal, she looks young. Not to deny the existence of petite or sleek, but it still translate to looking young quite often.

He’s right though. She does look young, even when compared to other characters.
As he said, not necessarily to the level of a loli, but noticeably younger alongside the rest of the cast.

When you’re left with this ambiguous thing that has nothing to go by, weak indicators like behavior become dominant. She doesn’t strictly look like a child, nor act like one, nor is stated to be one. I’m concerned for people who think she has to be a loli, they’re either look for fights or projecting.

I have no reason to think she’s a loli, and little reason to think that it would be a bad thing if she was. She is well withen the range of an adult with low somatropin levels.
Even if the game did show a loli in a fucked up situation, that doesn’t mean the game is advocating for it, or using it to stimulate sexual arousal. Not everything is fucking porn.

I didn’t assume it was.

And I would probably call her a loli on my own, but everyone involved with the character in an official capacity(that is, the designers, writers, greenlighters and such) unflinchingly call her one, so I just went with it.

2009 was a good year. A year of innocence. Well maybe to us children not to our parents.

The answer is much more simple with real people.
The answer is much more simple with real people.
Art usually only conveys so much information, and how the person perceives it becomes way more important.
I usually look for hard red flags, like the character being explicitly stated to be under 18, getting in situations that imply she’s under 18, and sometimes if they look very undeveloped and powerless.
However with thought crimes, where I set my borders can incriminate someone who didn’t see the fiction the same way I did.
Real life is one thing, but language depends on both how it’s written, and how it’s read.

Adult shawties this side of the world can literally be shorter than 5 feet nothing, weighing in a measly 100 lbs. AND they can be as old as 25yo looking like they just turned legal yesterday, with the right makeup.
Are they lolis? They CAN be.
Lolis aren’t only about the very young look. It’s also in their design. If a character is deliberately designed and written to appear like a very young girl, typically under 13yo, they can be a loli.
Rebecca IS a loli and I’m okay with it. To me a loli is about as much of a design choice as ara ara oneesan / mom or tomboy or any other anime female character archetype.

I didn’t play the game. If she’s is a loli, i guess maybe don’t sexually fantasize about her. However not all art is a call to action, or fuel for a disease, even if the character got in sexual situations, sexual motivations are not inherently implied.

You should be allowed to imply something unfortunate happened to a child in fiction, without it being seen as porn, or provocation for abusive behavior.
On another note, some people are sexually interested in older versions of characters that may have been depicted as younger in some point. This is not an excuse, just an example of how complicated interpretation can be.
With fiction I would be more worried about who is exposed to it, than what it looks like. MLP porn can feature adult characters, but we still got to hide it from minors, which Derpibooru has taken steps to do.
tehwatever
Also. I make a major distinction between sexualizing minors and children, vs sexualizing traits typically found in minors or young people.
Traits such as speech pattern, youthful voice, rounder facial features, larger eyes, 5 to 7 heads proportions, etc.

Loli characters like Rebecca have said traits.
On the Flipside. Android 21 from DBFZ is not even ten years old but she’s no Loli.

I totes agree.
Tho I would argue, from my post above, that sexually fantasizing about adult characters with traits you would usually attribute to young people … is fine.

also this. so much. Assuming art to mean promote xyz is about the same vibe as violent VG promotes and causes irl violence.
