I loath the Pixar-y art & animation direction they're taking the Mario universe in. I first noticed it with Odyssey and it has NEVER sat right, Bananza is quadrupling down on it.
Seems to have been pushed forward by the success of the Mario movie, /v/tards call it "forced soul". It doesn't particularly irk me (I think a shakeup was inevitable after the NSMB style stagnancy), though I haven't been a fan of the new VAs. The reason they replaced diddy with pauline (and why diddy isn't in mario kart world) is I imagine a move to purge the Rareware influences (a move driven by Miyamoto first and foremost); Also explains the change of DK's design to more closely match the original's. May seem a bit far fetched, but I'd urge you to investigate Nintendo's interactions with RareWare and Argonaut Software and draw your own conclusion on the matter.
 
Looks like this will be Nintendos next best seller :story:

It's not "pedo-bait" per se, but you're right in that something about this design just seems....off. I can't quite put my finger on i -

oh my fucking god Nintendo. I know you're trying to be the Disney of the video game world, but this is outright ridiculous.
I think the reason I feel this way is that Pauline's design in bonanza gives me similar vibes as purah in botw (and that was straight up a goddamn loli, I will die on that hill).

Zelda Wiki said:
Despite being 124 years old, Purah appears to be a young girl.
100% loli coded, you're not wrong. "It's okay to lust after this little girl, she's actually older than your great great grandma."

I think being weirded out by botw purah is far less of an admission than pauline, given while botw purah isn't necessarily sexualized, she doesn't act like a child either for the obvious reason that she isn't one. Makes me want to throw you into a woodchipper far less than if you look at a non-sexualized child character who acts like a child and immediately think "sexy".

They are telling on themselves. No one is a biggest pervert than the anti-perverts. Kind of how the anti-gay pastors and politicians always turn out to be gay themselves.

Yeah, I think they've been trying to move away from Rare since at least DKCR, arguably after DK64 to some degree.

Bullshit. That's every pastor unless they're a heretic.
 
I am talking about the very vocal ones specifically. You know, the ones that make it their entire identity.
That's a bit more of a reasonable take then, I guess. People who hyperfocus on just one particular form of sexual degeneracy alone might be a little sus, but then that applies to more than just pastors.

Yes, that is why I mentioned politicians.

Everyone normal hates pedophilia and pedophiles. Trying to turn it into a contest where you can brag about how you hate them so much more than everyone else is already a red flag, but saying "well, I hate pedophilia so much that just seeing children fills me with a seething rage because of the sexual feelings they give me!" is like a maoist get together.

I hate this trope. I remember back in the Toonami days they sometimes called it the "Sasami Effect" because Sasami from the Tenchi series was "technically" well over 100 years old so it was totally ok to lust over her. Never mind that she was asleep for most of that time.

Ah yes, the classic "you just claim to hate gays because you secretly want to fuck us, Q.E.D.!" gambit. Trannies use the same "reasoning" to deflect the natural revulsion most people feel when they encounter them.

Doesn't work for them either.

It depends. There are all kinds of degenerates, sadly.
