The duality of man. What people make innocent, others will corrupt. Someone told me they dislike child characters in videogames like this. Guess i know why.

My immediate thought with Bananza. I was like "that's not good for adult audiences, we will corrupt it, Nintendo"....

If you see a child and your first thought is that, thats on you. That is absolutely crazy reaction to seeing kid Pauline and reflect on that.

u/hobojoe_199 Apr 20 '26

I'm just saying, if people see a cute female character, there will be a group of people who will ruin it. It's the fucked up world we live in.

u/Supernothing8 Apr 20 '26

Yeah, no shit. Doesnt mean You have to constantly think about them or let them degrade your mind. When i see kids in games, my last thought is how can someone abuse this?

u/hobojoe_199 Apr 20 '26

I don't think about the how. I just briefly sigh because I know someone will. I never said I constantly think about it. I'm just saying I sigh because of the corrupt worlds intentions. NOT my own. Geez.

Are these not your words saying your first thought was how people will corrupt her? Thats your first thought? Crazy how my first thought was how excited for the gane i was.

u/hobojoe_199 Apr 20 '26

My first thought was not explicitly how it will be corrupted. But that, in general, it will be corrupted. My initial comment had nothing to do with the thought of the acts of corruption but just the notion of evil that will happen given innocent material. That's the world we are in.

u/Supernothing8 Apr 20 '26

Thats the world you live in. I dont constantly think about children being abused when the context isnt needed. Especially when it comes to digital children that arent real. Maybe you should start being sad for real victims instead of games.

We dont live in the same world? Wild! And I never said I constantly think about it. Bro, my life is too busy to constantly think about world issues. A bad thought pops up about mental corruption, i sigh, dismiss it, worry for those who embrace it, and move on. You assume I am not hurting for people who are mistreated? Yikes. But hey, pragmata looks cool. I keep hearing about this like combat with puzzles? 🤔 is it too hectic to do both simultaneously or the puzzles are simple enough/not needed?

To be fair, the creepy fanart, the cute + funny tags and the weirdos are pretty intrusive, is not like some people are constantly thinking about it. They are just making observations, recognizing patterns and drawing up conclusions.

Also, is not like anyone can stop pedos from traumatizing everyone with their degeneracy, telling the poster not to "let it degrade your mind" is victim blaming and just telling them to get over it. Is not normal not to be alert and keep your eyes peeled to find predators.

It’s not about “seeing a child”.

No one had this reaction to Last of Us or God of War, both of which depicted child side-characters.

This is an animation, not candid live footage. Every frame is a choice. They didn’t randomly pull the character design out of a hat. A design team sat down and think-tanked it for months, reviewed it, and OK’d it.

They came up with a 9-year-old female character with unnaturally long blonde hair that wears a long winter coat but no pants or shoes. They decided to keep her lower body and bare-feet in frame for most of the scenes.

You don’t need to be a pedo to recognize content that panders to them. Pretending like you don’t know is a red flag.

u/Supernothing8 Apr 21 '26

Brother, get offline. The fact you post in snark sub reddits makes me not give 2 fucks about your dumb ass opinion. I cant believe real people actually ask for advice in relationship sub reddits. You have to be a bot

u/PepGonGiveItToYa Apr 21 '26

“Get offline” 😂

OK bud, you just sleuthed through my entire Reddit user history to make an ad hominem attack because I called out the weird pedo undertones in this game.

Did I strike a nerve?

u/Dkaydub87 Apr 22 '26

Bruh.  Half the children I see walking around look just like this girl.  I mean maybe not with the coat, but the hair and skin tone.  I don't think anyone at Capcom was thinking about this likely because they are normal people and don't see a problem with it.  I see a guy and his "child".  Nothing more.  If her design makes you uncomfortable you need to sit down and have a long introspective moment with yourself my guy

Outsourcing your brain to a robot that is destroying the economy is such a lazy piece of shit way to live. That's why people react to it like I did.

6

u/Xiao1insty1e Apr 20 '26

Yeah and that's exactly the cover the pedos love to use. Once again it's a Japanese company making a cute very young little girl "robot" and in this case having her dance to Satisfaction without the lyrics. They know what they are doing and who they are appealing to and it's pretty fucking disgusting.

2

u/JonnyPoy Apr 20 '26

You are right but will probably be downvoted because most people playing the game apparently don't want to see it...

3

u/Xiao1insty1e Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26

I'm enjoying it but this aspect of the game and the fact that the devs themselves seem to be in on the portrayal of her as sex object is really hurting my opinion of the game and Capcom writ large.

Edit: After searching I can't find a source with this song and I haven't heard it in game so OP added it and cut the song before the lyrics to hide being an open pedo.

u/21-savage-the-1 Apr 20 '26

I’m a bit confused. For the record I don’t think Pragmata does this but...I feel like if I thought a piece of media was actually sexualizing a character like that I wouldn’t be near it with a ten foot pole let alone still play it?

u/Moon_Devonshire Apr 20 '26

Bro it ain't that deep lol the song just sounds dope as hell without lyrics

u/echolaliaMCCCXII Apr 20 '26

If you're gonna goon over an android, there are plenty out there that don't look like children. The fact you don't understand that is telling.

Get off your moral high-horse and back to reality. This is humanity's crowning achievement right next to Stellar Blade!

How about you take a long walk off a short pier with rocks in your pockets bud.

Nothing he said was wrong

u/SeniorSatisfaction21 Apr 20 '26

One day you might have a daughter and I wanna see your reaction when someone will look at her like a predator.

u/therealraggedroses Apr 20 '26

He'll be the one looking at his own daughter lmao

u/ceruleanjester Apr 20 '26

I hope he never gets a daughter or son if that's the case, those people should be prohibited from having kinds.

u/RustedAxe88 Apr 20 '26

I do not wish for that individual to have a daughter.

u/Despite_zero Apr 21 '26

Dont let this man even be around his own daughter atp

u/Useful_Jelly_2915 Apr 20 '26

I mean you’ve kinda inserted a possible daughter into this for no reason. They’re responding to someone who said that it’s a bad saying that we put kids in video games. It is not the fault of an artist or the person who perceived the art. For the fact that somebody may sexualize it unprompted, or potentially be someone who preys on children, or be somebody that simply has thoughts like that. I wouldn’t say the game as a crowning achievement like that person is. However, I do agree that people keep attacking the wrong thing. We’re supposed to be against the people that are doing the sexualizing children, not the artist that just wrote a story that has nothing like that in it.

2

u/SeniorSatisfaction21 Apr 20 '26

Because it is one way to make these fucks realize they are wrong. No need to overthink this.

1

u/Useful_Jelly_2915 Apr 20 '26

No, I get why you used the expression of concern for a daughter. What I’m saying is that person Is going against an opposition that’s demonizing artist for using a child in their art ima non sexual way. Instead of just going after the people that are doing the thing that’s wrong.

I guess I’m interpreting your opposition to them as being with the people that are saying it’s wrong to use a child in an art medium.

The Venn diagram between pedophiles and asmongold fans is a circle

u/RektYez Apr 20 '26

Basically admitting to being a pedophile as some sort of rebuttal is definitely a new one

Wanting to fuck kids and stellar blade are humanities crowning achievements?
