Rule 34 intensifies

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 101 points 1 day ago

The Catholic Church has a new mascot.

It's a small child.

[-] darth_tiktaalik@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 day ago

"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!"

I can't be sure this was the primary use-case that the AI inventors envisioned, but it's hard to argue that it's not successful at this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All technology isn't created for porn, but it is immediately used for it. I'm ~90% sure the Apollo missions were trying to find green chicks to fuck like in Star Trek.

[-] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yay! But wait, what?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Looks kinda like that Chickpea comic.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

it looks like if raincoats were hijabs...

Who are they trying to appeal to with this, are they launching a vatican sponsored cocomelon clone?

They shouldve just asked permission to use Alexander Anderson. My favorite fictional Catholic.

Missed the chance to call her Vati-chan.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 76 points 2 days 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.

Yes; "Luce" is Italian for "Light' and "Lucifer" is Latin for "light bearer". They are cognates.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

So whoever carries that anime figure is literally Luciferian.

"Luz" is an incredibly common name in Spanish speaking countries. It means light. "Luce" means light in Italian, but seems to be less common as a name. Lucifer means "Light-bringer", and the myth of the light-bringer is much, much older than Christianity.

Old religions thought things in the sky were gods. Venus orbits closer to the sun than the Earth, which means light reflecting from it is extremely bright, but that light is only visible near sunrise and sunset. During the rest of the day the brightness of the sun overwhelms the reflected light from Venus, and during the rest of the night it's not visible because it's near the sun, so it's behind the earth. So, old religions talked about the brightest "god" in the sky, who disappeared when it got too bright or too dark. That led to the myth of the god who tried to be the brightest light and was cast down. That, of course, led to Satan, A.K.A. Lucifer.

I guess the Catholic church was giving its followers too much credit in their understanding of words.

[-] necromancyr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Kevin Smith posted on Facebook that this had to be the Catholic Church trolling him for getting back the rights to Dogma and its 29th Anniversary.

Luce will also represent the Holy See at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.

I love this sentence so much.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Are they running so low on young people to molest they've resulted to youthful dolls?

[-] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago

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)

[-] sudneo@lemm.ee 23 points 2 days ago

I know nothing about anime, but I guess it is not that bad? Luce is straight up "light" in Italian, and Lucifer just means "the one who brings light" because it's the Angel's name, before the fall according to the fairytale. So from their POV it should all make sense.
