@Estate True but it's parallel to the actual game, I read a xeet demanding for western consulting to avoid this, but that's exactly what they did and all they got was a tranny pornstar with AIDS as their official mascot, and that didn't prevent the crying emoji thing anyways, I would extend that parallelism to this too, that's just the absolute state of the current industry where no one has tact and even maliciously use their dream jobs to signal Degenerate Rights.
The Japanese perversion you could read from the actual game is that she's barefoot and obviously referenced from a child model from some modeling agency somewhere in Europe, which would make sense as Capcom has been using fashion modeling agencies for everything related to the new Resident Evil games.
But everything else is interdiscourse related to the Chibi Reviews Dramatic Universe, they did revise the character to better aim for Women Gamers and Gamer Dads and cut off the pedos, but totally scrapping the character out of this building argument of "ending paternalbait" or "every child should be ugly or baby sneed covered in dirt" is going to lead to Clementine/Bella Ramsey and Last of Us/The Nalking Dead/Bioshock Infinite games for all eternity, I am not going back there, Hitler-sama... not like this.
Plausible deniability on this topic is dead.
Yeah, everyone is aware of shit like Dan Schneider nowadays and eventually there will be a high profile case like that in Japan.
But when that happens the discourse will be cynically equating Beauty and Whiteness to Pedophilia as pretext for a new wave of Obama Core Games about saving Somalian children from ICE, think of Joel Miller violently shooting and murdering everyone at an ICE facility to save Somalian Baby Sneed.
After all, the actual core issue for the current industry is again a "Thing, Japan" but this time the "Thing" is The Last of Us.
Hell when REM in deadlock released (the black thing in my pfp) people were calling him pedobait and I've seen some sketchy art of him floating around.
Very efficient design by Valve, it inspires aggression in me and I really want to grab it by it's legs and slam it against the wall and the pavement over and over as hard as I can, DIE DIE DIE you fucking little nigger.
Diana can't do that. When Hugh dies she'll be skipping and singing on the streets of Detroit in a dirty parka and latching on to the next man who finds her crayon drawings charming. Because she's not real, and she's not your daughter, and you're not her father, and she can replace you just like she replaced the moon factory cradle she spawned out of.
Pathos. Kino.
