    I mean… I can see why people are weirded out by this, but also… it really doesn’t have to be a sexual thing.

    You could put Ash, or Silver or whoever in this position… its… not like guys cannot also use bidets… and its not like the concept of running out of toilet paper, or using a bidet, is inherently sexual.

    Sure, it can be, if that’s actually your fetish.

    But it doesn’t have to be.

    What, she has a semi risque, bikini type thong thing, as underwear?

    Uh… when I was the age of this character (10-12 apparently, depending on which game she’s in)…

    I would stand at the bus stop for school, and one neighborhood girl, same age as me, would brag about wearing one of these, have it hiked up past her pants/shorts waist line, and keep trying to get me to do dares or favors so I could ‘see more of it’.

    I was also friends with less uh… attention seeking girls, and a few years later, I’m getting invited to their slumber parties (mostly to marathon a season of Buffy, sometimes Toonami, eventually Venture Bros) because I’m actually respectful, trustworthy, and keep my hands to myself.

    What I’m trying to say is:

    What this character is depicted as wearing was not an uncommon kind of girl’s undergarment bottom, even 20 years ago.

    Not all girls wear granny panties.

    Its not inherently sexualizing, to be wearing a fairly common kind of underwear.

    I think the point of this is to be embarassing and awkward… ‘cringe’, even… not fetishistic.

      I get that, especially as a lot of chuds are using lolishota and similar as a means to gatekeep, and they also denied the existence of really bad elements in their community blaming it on supposed psyops by antis, but also this kind of speech is often used for performative activism. And performative activism rarely did anything good.

        … I don’t know what half those words mean.

        I know loli is basically drawn, prepubescent girls.

        I don’t know what a lolishota is.

        And I am afraid to look it up, lol.

        I also do not know what an … ‘anit’ … is?
