The whole bullshit about Artoria is apparently around Shirou's age despite logically should be in her 30's to 40's after ruling a kingdom with the excuse being she was on Kingly autopilot.

Its just nonsense to justify why Shirou & Rin aren't banging a chick around their mothers age.

Also yeah Jack's appearance is inexcusable.

As much as Arha loathes FSF I like Strange Fale Jack. Im really hoping hey do random forms for him when he gets into FGO over just one form.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

@Epic Bleye: Her appearance can pass for someone in early adolescence, so no, "visibly a child" is not something that is applicable to her. And an adolescent having a childlike mentality is possible; we have a more extreme form in the Manchild trope, after all.

Oh yeah, the official materials refer to Jack as a 'child' repeatedly.

[up][up] Bullcrap, she looks nothing like an adolescent and the materials specify that she is a child.

Also sexualizing early adolescents is still disgusting?

So she's not a child, but a slightly older child. (Even though, as Saiga mentioned, she is very visibly a child).

It still isn't okay.

The core concept behind Jack as Apocrypha is solid to me in being a unique take but I am not going to defend the character design.
I am not "defending the character design", I am just pointing out that people are seeing sexualization that isn't necessarily there.

Seriously, just because she's a highly sexualized character doesn't mean that every single thing she does that could possibly be interpreted as a form of sexualization is indeed that. Like I've said, that shot in the concept art is little to no different from similar shots in other works involving much less controversial characters of a similar age bracket (that is, "at the very least ambiguously adolescent").

I detest selective condemnation, as it reeks of hypocrisy to me. That's my beef here.

The whole bullshit about Artoria is apparently around Shirou's age despite logically should be in her 30's to 40's after ruling a kingdom with the excuse being she was on Kingly autopilot.
Wasn't that because of Avalon's Healing Factor thing having the side-effect of freezing her ageing?

Oh yeah, the official materials refer to Jack as a 'child' repeatedly.
Not really useful as an argument. In many places and cultures, the Western world among them, adolescents are often considered as being still "children".

Also sexualizing early adolescents is still disgusting?
Not as disgusting as sexualizing prepubescents, at the very least. And the difference is significant enough that this site's own Content Policy acknowledges it in its guidelines on assessing the skeeviness of any given work.

So she's not a child, but a slightly older child. (Even though, as Saiga mentioned, she is very visibly a child).

It still isn't okay.

So when you read "passes for an early adolescent", the only thing you see is "she's actually a child but happens to look like an adolescent"? I'm starting to think you're one of those "adolescents are still children" people.

I also get the impressions that Bleye is one of those evil, deviant people who think sexualizing 'early' adolescents is not okay.

Seriously, she looks like a child, acts like a child and is fucking LABELLED as a child. The early adolescent thing is purely your invention, you might have some argument if there was any evidence anywhere that that was intended.

She doesn't even look like an early adolescent, clearly a young child. And the sexualization is definitely there, as there's no other reason to have that pose in her concept art.

Irrelevant. It still isn't okay.

It is still gross and not okay. She is not an adult. She is not sexually mature. She looks and acts like a child.

So when you read "passes for an early adolescent", the only thing you see is "she's actually a child but happens to look like an adolescent"? I'm starting to think you're one of those "adolescents are still children" people.

How old do you think an 'early adolescent' would be? That's 12/13/14 years of age here, which is still disgusting. And that's besides the fact that she can't be confused with someone of that age unless you have no idea what an adolescent looks like. And what does me thinking "adolescents are still children" have to do with anything? Even if it were true (it's not), it has nothing to do with me saying that Jack is clearly a child that acts like a child with the features that children possess and that sexualizing that isn't alright.

Yeah no, Jack is clearly supposed to be a child. It doesn't matter one bit if she "technically" is or isn't one, she's clearly supposed to pander to that group.

Which sucks, because her core concept (an amalgamation of the abandoned and forgotten children of London during the Industrial Revolution that just wants mommy back) is really cool.

Her design is basically trash. I say basically because I kinda like the knife-skirt-thing, but literally everything else is "nope".

Changing the topic- I read how Fran, Edison, and Tesla all have the Galvanism skill. It works by absorbing ampiant Prana/Mana/whatever you call it, and converting it into bio electricity/drama that the user can use to heal and fight. What I'm wondering is if it would be reasonable to suppose with the right resources a magus might be able to do the reverse, That is to say, convert electricity into prana? I just have this mental image of a magus connecting such a contraption to a bunch of Solar panels and starts churning out Mana Prisms while a more traditional magus is looking and ripping their hair out

TPPR: It takes two to have an argument. Marq asked about her eyes and Saiga commented on the concept art provided without specifically attacking anyone.

If anything, Marq started it by bringing up stuff about nudity taboos that is absolutely not applicable here instead of just ignoring the 'ew lolicon' reactions.

New Last Encore stuff from the latest episode:

1000 year Time Skip confirmed, it's 3020 AD now. (Wouldn't the Velber have come back to the solar system by now?)

The situation on this floor has reached the point where Blackmore wants to use dirty tactics, while Robin wants to fight fair.

Rani, she also doesn't have her Servant.

Crap, missed the episode.

Punished Blackmore: No more honour alongside old soldiers.

Few keywords.

Rani and Star Trance
Hoshigin is a sequence of stars and constellations. Rani is good at astrology.
Rani was cast by the last magician on the ground called Atlas'
It is the last homunculus on the ground.
It is an artificial life specialized in the cerebral activity coordinated to give priority to the theory rather than emotion, but the lanterns born from alchemy seem to place emphasis on the mystery being lost ...... occultism ......

AD 3020 AD
The current year in this work.
About 1,000 years since SE.RA.PH collapse.
The population on the ground is less than 100,000 and it reaches the destruction zone soon.
Assuming that maintaining the civilized area is a testimony of a person,
Master in SE.RA.PH is the last human being.
And when SE.RA.PH collapses humanity will disappear from outer space.

The humanity is at the verge of extinction, and our protagonist is an AI. Gaia is this close of pressing the prune button.
