Rule 34 intensifies
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!"
And you know there will be a ton of rule34 made.... There's just pedos everywhere...
Oh my god yeah.

Haha, need to log in for nsfw..
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.
Numbers are down, release the waifu! Common business strategy with ancient roots.
We're about 5 years away from the Vatican releasing shotacon.
That's a funny way of saying AI filtered altar boys
Is this some kind of moe anthroprism?
Yay! But wait, what?
Looks kinda like that Chickpea comic.
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.
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.
Luce? Like Lucifer? Lol.
Yes; "Luce" is Italian for "Light' and "Lucifer" is Latin for "light bearer". They are cognates.
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.
Something something "the power of god and anime on my side"
yeah thats gonna clean up their image
Lmfao anyone see the movie Dogma, this is modern day Buddy Christ! 😂
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.
Finally the Catholics have discovered religion!
All I hear is, the Vatican is after the young crowd. Imagine that....
🌍🧑🚀🔫👨🚀
Are they running so low on young people to molest they've resulted to youthful dolls?
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)
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.
