Ahh yes I forgot to disregard all context of the argument. That's my favorite tool in discourse, personally! Have anything to say to the rest of my comment? The actual important part?
Of course not...
What context? This isn't about children at all and never was.
Oh... I guess you don't know the game.

Those are the characters.
Another commenter pointed out that a selling feature of this game is the jiggle physics.
This is getting old though.
Oh no, I know the game very well. In fact, I know the game well enough to know that the images you posted are not from this game. Genshin Impact is a completely separate franchise from Zenless Zone Zero. This is the character from the article, who is most assuredly not a child.
I'm not sure if you're being an idiot on purpose, or if it's an accident.
Oh that's totally my b. I got confused. I think the article may have mentioned genshin impact somewhere.
Anyway, I took a look and you're right only half the cast is child-coded! Great! Now let's get the other half too!
It didn't. Just like nobody ever argued for sexualizing minors.
This isn't the first thing you've just made up in this thread. I'm beginning to think that you're acting in bad faith here.
You're correct that nobody has quite said the quiet part out loud yet except for myself and the initial comment I was replying to.
And again, nobody is interested in arguing about the points to do with sexualization of minors in video games and anime, despite that being the comment thread they replied to.
Yes I've made mistakes and committed fallacies in this argument. No, I am not arguing in bad faith. Nor do I intend to.
Nobody has replied to the salient points, nor the research I've raised, and that saddens me, as it means people are more interested in keeping their lolicon games than reducing issues affecting real people, and as a survivor of childhood sexual assault myself, I find that pretty fucked up. I would hope that even somebody who hasn't gone through what I have would have the same proclivity to protect living, breathing children over having unfettered access to lolicon games that sexualize minors but this thread has shown me that this is not the case.
Goodbye
Again, you're the only person talking about minors in this thread, my guy. Nobody's replying to your straw men because we all see them for what they are.
You're just upset that the game you know nothing about doesn't line up with the talking points you had prepared, so you're trying to force them into the conversation and twist it into something it isn't. Nobody's going to humor that obvious attempt at derailing the conversation, because you're arguing against points that nobody is making in the first place.
You already made it apparent that you don't know what the game is about, let alone which game the article is even referring to since you clearly didn't read it. Why are you even here? Just to say "Look at me, I care about children"? Congrats, you're such an amazing person.
No. I decided to talk about minors after being spurred by the original comment of this thread mentioning that in that commenter's opinion that the image looks like a teenager to mention the grossness inherent to many anime and videogames and the way they sexualize children. Nobody was required to respond to any of my comments and yet they still did... to protect their lolicon pedo bs...
Yes. I am uneducated about this exact game. That's not really the point I am trying to make... at all. I am not really upset about this specific game, but this game is seemingly a great example of what I'm mad about the more I learn about it specifically for the purpose of having this argument.
Lastly, go fuck yourself, you unempathetic bag of human shit.
Your ego is out of control, you need serious deep therapy and introspection, you made yourself look not only insane but really fucking ignorant.
For like the 20th time, nobody was doing this. That was an argument that existed entirely in your imagination. Do you seriously still not understand this, or are you just pretending to not get it?
