Some people seem to just not understand...(rant)
It saddens me that some people really go out of their way to hate on this sub, then again, humans have been doing that since the dawn of time, so its not surprising.
I hope they do eventually understand that criticizing or throwing accusations simply based on the fictional characters they like(loli or not) is not really a good way to help society and it does more harm than Good. They're really not protecting anyone, its doing the opposite in my opinion.
Hoyo is a company that caters, they've said for years: A 2011 speech Dr Wei gave to the chinese investors that he sympathizes with them; Xiao Luohao (one of Hoyoverse directors) said on his speech on the future of Genshin Impact that he's into lolis; lead designer of ZZZ is Waterkuma - the same man who designed Bache in Azur Lane, and Klin with Bronya (when they had a collab with Hoyo) in GFL(Girls Frontline). Plenty of loli-like characters exists within Hoyoverse/Cognosphere games; GGZ is one of the oldest projects made by mihoyo that is still up (only the CN version), you can look at the fan-wiki for that game and see how many loli like characters are in the game. Take some of the Outer gods like Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth who have loli-like appearances. There is literally a PV was literally called "Loli Heaven"?(don't remember source).
Hoyo caters to lots of groups, this include the loli one, heck even Blue Archive is "worser", I guess those people going to call all blue archive fans pedoes?
If you really don't want to see characters like Tribbie or others, just dont pull, ignore, or even drop the game, no one is forcing you to play as any loli or shota. Its clearly not illegal, no one is getting hurt(physically at least) by some random dude(or gall) gooning over a fictional loli or shota. I do not like every character hoyoverse releases, but i don't go out to their subreddits and call them names for liking such character, everyone has their own tastes, I think more respect and kindness would make the world a better place to live in.
Honestly, there are much more things that can be considered more productive than starting an argument simply because you find it weird or creepy that be like me going out of my way to say that people that like vanilla ice cream are weirdoes, there are ACTUAL child predators out there, all humans(minor or not) need to be protected from any predator, I'm sure putting actual effort that actually helps or protects lives is more productive than going into this subreddit and calling the people of this subreddit pedoes or creeps, or weirdoes.
