Missed the chance to call her Vati-chan.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

The Catholic Church has a new mascot.

It's a small child.

"How do we distract from all the child molestation?"

"Loli mascot?"

"Genius, go out and buy a 3d printer so I can get my hands on her ASAP!"

If there is an internet rule for every character there is a religion swapped version of that character, I'd like to see Pagan/Wicca versions of them like they have moved out of the bible belt (especially Texas) and into a mostly blue state where they can preserve their freedom of religion from certain religious nutjobs.
