Speaking of the mascot, I admit I was a little put off by Rubi (that's her name!) at first. But, upon further review, she's just a normal schoolgirl-looking character with mismatched socks, drawn in an anime style. She's totally SFW, so, I can only guess my negative association was initially driven by "anime girl" stereotypes. She doesn't turn me off from wanting to read any more of the author's posts, provided they have something on a topic I'm interested in.
- gowld 6y agoThe hiked up miniskirt is what takes it into less comfortable loli territory.
- pmiller2 6y agoEh. It doesn't look "hiked up" at all to me, and, truthfully, the outfits the cheer team wore at my high school show a lot more skin.
- asdasfasdfasdf 6y agoThe entire concept is loli territory, it's the fetisihization of school girls. It's not inappropriate because it's a mascot, it's inappropriate because this is the blog of a grown man with a teenage girl for a mascot. I'm totally fine with furries or NSFW art, but the school girl trope is gross and its perpetuation fetishizes underage women whether you like it or not.
- Igelau 6y agoSee, here's the bug in "I know it when I see it" benchmarks for lewdness: they only actually report on the beholder's internal reaction. You're only telling us it made you uncomfortable because your brain fetishized some part of the image.
