So they choose Luce, so close to Lucifer, and they expect the Internet to NOT bring it up? There’s Lucy, Daughter of the Devil on Cartoon Network for shit’s sake.
Nevermind the connections to Death Note, a far more popular anime about Light Yagami, and the subtle connections between his name and Lucifer the Lightbringer.
This seems so much worse on it’s face, even if you leave out the undertones of children’s abuse by the church and Rule 34 that will come out (which are worse, but the church keeps trying to bury it)
Missed the chance to call her Vati-chan.
Oh damn, in German, “Vati” is an affectionate form like “daddy”, except it’s the word stem of “father” (“Vater”).
And wouldn’t you know it, Christians also use “Vater” to refer to priests, the pope and their god.
Lmfao anyone see the movie Dogma, this is modern day Buddy Christ! 😂
Buddy Jesus would have been an a better choice. The internet fanfiction might have worked for them. I predict they won’t be pleased by the fanfiction they’re about to get from under age manga.
not…publicly pleased, at any rate…
but amongst themselves? probably swapping their favorites around.
Buddy Christ was better
Better than Bloody Christ, for sure.
The Buddy and Bloody of Christ, though… Now, you’ve got a sacrament going.
All I hear is, the Vatican is after the young crowd. Imagine that…
How is this NOT the onion…
Because an official anime boy mascot would be too apropos?
There’s more than the one who are (I assume*) boys, also I don’t understand what you mean by ‘would be too apropos’, could you explain?
* I assume because I couldn’t find much information about the side characters other than their names Fe, Xin, and Sky. All the references on the Wikipedia page just say their names and include the photo at most or don’t even acknowledge them at the least.
Young boys especially, but young girls too are probably a little touchy for them to use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases
Child Rape, Incorporated really shouldn’t, they really really shouldn’t, they really really really just should not
but she’s ackchyually 2,000 years old
Hmmm.
Are they ignorant to the “art” that will be created inspired by this, or was that their intention?
They’re using childish cartoon characters to attract young children to the church. I don’t think they care who does what with the characters as long as they get more kiddies to diddle.
Her name is Light? Like the guy from Death Note?
What’s Luce for?
For seeing, duh.
So is it blessed anime, or holy anime?
No way they’re going to regret that decision…
Don’t worry, the R34 artists are already on it.
Target demographic: lolicons
I would say the target demographic is Catholics. That’s an important distinction, because it includes shotacons too.
that’s adorable. I like the frog looking one, as my name implies.
Oh god, I can’t help but see the reflection in their eyes as a hand with way too many fingers
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the Pope still doesn’t have a moe moe
Thank god they didn’t go furry with any of their characters.
2034: The Vatican unveils official furry mascot
To learn more google “Rule 34 Vatican mascot”
Aslan from the Narnia series is basically a feral fan-made fursona for Jesus
That’s when they finally get me.
Please no. I think I’d have no choice but to firebomb the Vatican.
Edit: Catholic furries are fine, I don’t have anything against them so long as they’re not trying to proselytize or something; but I don’t want the Catholic church anywhere near me.
Yeah I feel the same, I was just joking
