@Dakkan Bro, this artist suddenly deleted almost all of their works and accounts. Do you know the reason?
@fkthisworld Not a clue, unfortunately. I only followed them on pixiv, so I didn't really get to see any personal update/message posts. I only really noticed that they stopped posting as regularly, and until now when you messaged I didn't even realize that they had deleted their profiles.

Hey bro, when was the last time the artist you saw posted an update?
TL Note: Uhh I should probably watch bang dream because i got confused by who's who in first bubble since they both are 立希 in wiki and the chinese text used 立希? And some Chinese artist likes using Japanese for honorifics specifically? Someone check translation lol
The Hoyo pity system is so ass. Sure, you're guaranteed your character of choice earlier (in theory), since Hoyo games themselves guarantee a five star at 90 pulls, thus needing 180 at most, and pity carries over between banners, but sparking is still better overall because it isn't affected by the results of your pulls. You could get the mythical double five star pull and you would still keep building pity towards a different character. Just because Hoyo gets away with it doesn't mean other companies have to copy it, see OG Arknights vs Endfield. And the devs actually changing the system for an existing game is not only scummy beyond belief, it also sets a terrible precedent for other companies to follow. Hopefully the backlash will be enough to unfuck the situation.

Considering who is now leading the charge for the company trying to increase their bottom line?
I'm very doubtful they'll listen.
OG Nexon might balk under the backlash but an EA CEO?
They'll just double down on it.
Great example of rather than just increasing your bottom line you wind up destroying it.

And then there's Fate/Go. What it is now, something like 351 pulls before your guarantee? And there's 0 guarantee for 4*. There are some that are thankfully kind to their players and can even be successfully played F2P but yeah most get blinded by that greed.
Wait, how are they swimming? Aren't they supposed to weigh a whole lot? Wouldn't they sink like a rock?
The game basically completely abandoned consistency with this a year ago - Rosanna's summer alt is explicitly described as a swim body (presumably much lighter), and it's an explicit conflict point that Viper, who is also participating in the event, does not get that privilege. But then others just swim unexplained - even outside of the cutscene, we see Mori, who DEFINITELY does not have an alternate body available, doing so no problem.
Given how many Nikkes you can be implied to have sex with who are stated in like Chapter 2 to be heavy enough that they'd crush you... Trust me, don't think about it.

This. They made this a point during the first two summer events which is why none of the girls except Helm actually went out to swim. It was as said, reinforced during the 3rd event. But then just went nvm screw that.
As for snu snu, they would only crush him in specfic positions. There are plenty of ways for them to have sex without the girls' body weight to be a problem, they also have non-combat bodies that are, like the swim body, far lighter than their combat bodies. And as early as chapter 2-3 we had a scene with Yuni sleeping on top of him without harming him (until she tried to bear hug him) and that was before he took more active role so current commander is a beast of a human.
The pic says "I will now be performatively horny about these GAKI", and (whether this line was made in jest or not) I made a reply about how no one can ever be performatively horny about gaki characters (and by extension, loli characters).
I feel like "Uuoooh, correction! 😭" and stuff are too big to not have anyone performative. They might like loli, but not to the level that might imply.
About why, maybe some just want to feel like they're in the same circle and conform, like laughing at some not-that-funny jokes when others around you seem to really like them?
Regardless of this artist's actual position in this whole thing,
You can't be performatively horny about lolis. Ever. Not in current_year, not in the near nor far future by the looks of things (I'd be very amazed to be proven wrong on this), not before covid brought in the worst of the worst group of people into anime/manga discourse, and certainly not in the 2000s when there was little to no point in being performative on the internet about anything anyways.
And not even in "the mystical land of Far-Eastern Gacha Slop", where some JP feminists (aka ツイフェミ) have become increasingly louder and louder and would throw pedophilia accusations around just as any random English-speaking xitter users would, like they're mere playground insults (well they are now unfortunately). Where every week day that very "mystical land" keeps getting called Diddy/Epstein island because of loli characters, the actual nationalities of the aforementioned two individuals notwithstanding.
Hell, even this very site isn't exactly immune to it.
Yeah sure some people would call you safe horny or whatever if you're into "dommy-mommy-please-break-my-pelvis" or whatever, but those are negligible at best, and annoying at worst. You'd have to kid yourself if you think being called that is in any way comparable to saying openly that you're into loli, even performatively (again, if that's even a thing).
Normies took one look at the anime community and decided that loli stuff must be removed. Probably due to whiplash, insecurity, and fear of association.
It's so weird to me that I have over 20 years of watching anime and reading manga, never really liking glasses characters only to to love this character's design when Scarlet and Violet came out.
Did Lyra finally join Team Rocket or something? What's with all the evil pictures of her? She wears the uniform in Pokemon Masters but that was years ago.
