The Place for Purging Porn and Pedo-Pandering (AKA P5 flag evaluations)

Hmm. Judging solely by that one picture, she could just as easily pass for 14 as 20. If I had to make a point-estimate, I'd say 16, which means it narrowly escapes pedo-issues as defined by site policy.

I don't know, guys, she looks very short in my eyes to really be 16. If I had to point an age, myself, I would place her at 14. Possibly 13.

Anime characters tend to be short as a matter of culture. Remember that the average height of a Japanese person is a few inches shorter than that of an American, and that extends to their anime characters.

That's fine and all, but she's supposed to be from a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of a Western country, I think. From what I have been able to piece together, she's the head of a pseudo-Christian creed of faith, although I don't know the particulars. Does this standard of height for anime characters apply to those of Western roots?

Is there a better picture, anywhere? I'm beginning to suspect that it's a very poorly drawn picture. Look at where her knee ostensibly is, and how close that is to the ground. I'm not one to say that art-style needs to be considered, but I think this particular piece of artwork isn't proving to be very helpful.

Being a veteran anime fan, I can vouch for that.

Unless the animator is going for realism, invoking the Huge Schoolgirl trope, or is trying to make the female characters stand out in some way, most are drawn somewhat shorter in proportion to how they would look IRL.

Also, after looking at her H-scene pictures, she escapes the loli barrier because the art style clearly identifies her as female, with enough of a measurable bust to pass as a Pettanko

Having {shudder} seen honest to god lolicon, I can say with a straight face she's a far cry from actual lolicon.

That picture was ripped from the game itself, so it can be taken as accurate.

Just been through the cutlist recently, and these works have just been given the axe by the Fast One himself:

• VisualNovel.Kichiku Megane
• Manga.Ikki Tousen
• Manga.He Is My Master
• Webcomic.HATEFARM
• DarthWiki.Digimon Full Force
• LightNovel.Dragon Crisis
• LightNovel.Ai No Kusabi
• TabletopGame.Bliss Stage
• Main.Build Tiger
• Film.Cannibal Holocaust

While I ain't gonna argue about some of them (Digimon Full Force was an unpublished work, Build Tiger was verging on getting cut anyway, and Bliss Stage was just waiting for someone to pull the trigger on it), several of the other works (such as Ikki Tousen, Dragon Crisis, He Is My Master and others) were stuff that were previously voted by P5 to be kept. Did Fast Eddie see something in those works that P5 didn't?

Did Cannibal Holocaust even involve Sex!?

That doesn't really matter much. I doubt this kind of works would be aiming for this kind of accuracy.

Not to mention it is not like there is no short western women. I know quite a few myself.

(btw, looking in a CG rip I've found, I find the quartet of green haired fairy girls much more problematic, myself.)

I don't find "short" to be a compelling argument for judging age. There's plenty of short adults in the world by any reasonable standard.

Yeah, I thought the fairies were more of a problem myself.

Okay, what is up with that?

Again, most of the cuts make sense, but Ikki Tousen was cleared and allowed to stay, as was He Is My Master.

In fact, both got three angels if I remember right.

@4933: Cannibal Holocaust has a rape sequence. I get the feeling it was taken down due to some Google crap. Otherwise, it's about as severe as the Saw series, and its main claim to fame is that it pretty much started the Found Footage Horror genre, in a form.

Dragon Crisis is the weirdest since got 3 angels and was called completely harmless.

Didn't Eddie say he was going to abide by 5p decisions? Has something changed?

I'm willing to bet Google.

Well... shit.

All the cuts have "per P5" as the reason, so if that's true then there's must have been serious miscommunication.

OK. So it's likely a misunderstanding by the Fast One then.

Should we put them back on the queue then to be re-judged?

Dragon Crisis got cut? That's fucked up. The thread suggested it was harmless (as did my analysis) and not a single P5'er devilheaded it.

Apologies for the delay in review of Litchi Hikari Club. Got pulled away to do something else.

I'd withold from doing anything until FE confirms the reasoning for what he was doing.

I smell google, I doubt Fast Eddie would actively go against 5Peeps decisions on his own without outside pressure. After all, he established them so he WOULDN'T have to do this.

I am rather concerned though.... If it is him doing this on his own, we have practically been rendered null.

I'd guess that at least one P5 is talking to Eddie about it, so I'd wait a bit.

If this is the result of a policy change that we weren't informed about, then we'll have to find out what that change was, preferably from the Fast One himself.

@Largo Quagmire that will just get the 5p too look at them again, what we need is for the fast one to tell us whats going on.
