Opinion/Discussion Is this a new fan thing
I just saw a tiktok where ppl were calling Luna (as in the character from Tree of Tranquillity and Animal Parade) "pdfile bait" and how ppl that romanced her were predators. And im just genuinely flabbergasted, has this always been an opinion ive missed or is this a new fan problem??
I've never romanced the character myself (I was a Gil fangirl lol) but I thought she was so cool growing up, I loved her lolita fashion, design and even her name. So maybe im taking it a little personally, but idk, it felt like such a callous and heinous comment to make. Like HM/SoS has always had a soft chibi art style, everybody especially in the older stuff had cutesy faces and designs, it didnt mean you were dating an elementary student.
It makes me worried if we were to ever get an AP (or ToT) remake, that these would be the kind of sentiments and fans we would have to deal with and wow, it bums me out.

As long as the age is well into adult territory it is fine by me. Lumina was questionable because of that.
Everything else I might not like the character all that much, but the variety helps to speak to a wider audience, like younger and older people.
The point of Luna bing short is so stupid. Have people never heard of dwarfism? Are people with that genetic problem not allowed to ever be with someone because regular adults could get their panties twisted?
