The entire thought process was probably "lolis are in it".
But Touhou also showed up on the transcore games meme lol so
Aren't a lot of them maids? Even without the fetishy connotations, isn't that a sort of cutesy child labor?
That's why I asked. Maybe when I glanced into the fandom and made this face
what I saw was just thirsty weebs putting the child characters in maid outfits and assumed that was just the standard thing there.
Please tell me that this is just the bad side of the fandom making bad fanart/fanfics and not yet another "this franchise is really good as long as you ignore the creepy parts that are creeping on children" situation.
I'm glad. I may take a look... without the fandom overlay that put me off long ago.
I remember seeing you mention being an undertale fan so it might help you to know that Toby Fox was very inspired by Zun and has a good relationship with him. They basically work on things the same way (music first, then everything else to fit the music.) They're currently collaborating to remake a track from both series in the other's style at some point.
they seem to be saying the former
The word "stories" was used twice, once for a very bad thing, once for a good thing, so I needed the clarification.
no problem, I did a double take too tbh
Imagine that feeling when Fire Emblem Awakening is like a top 30 or so game for you
"Oh senpai I am a lesbian and by that I mean I desperately want you to cure me of my lesbianism with a magic potion! Oh, you're playing a female protagonist? Suddenly I'm not interested in you in that way!"
I forget if Awakening is the one with that plotline but it does have the yandere stereotype character that is extremly problematic and worse it has fucking NOWI which is probably the worst pedobait "1000 year old dragon" Ive seen in a video game.
Yeah the worst. Especially since to get her daughter you have to pair her off with someone and its like "do I pair her with one of the older seeming characters because 1000 years old or one of the younger ones because looks 12?". Either way it feels gross.
NINTENDO SO WHOLESOME NO PROBLEMATIC ANYTHING EVER
I lost track (and lost interest in the series) after the one with the touch-screen face-fondling "morale" minigame and the lesbian cure potion. I know there was always some sus gender politics and eugenics biotruthy themes throughout the series but that's where I put it down and never picked it back up again.
I think awakening was BEFORE the face fondling but I'm not sure. Its the only one Ive played lol.
