Nah, you don't get to do this.

You don't get to brush off people taking issues with underage anime girls as "hating children." That's complete bullshit on every possible level and you know it.
But I'm talking about Klee? Who is neither sexualized nor infantilized? And the person I initially responded to didn't even mention sexualization?

Dunno what you want, dude. In the post YOU responded to I openly admitted that anime has some real bullshit issues with young kids, but I guess you missed it. It's fine.

I am one of the strongest voices against sexualization of kids, and also against infantilization of adults, that I know. Both disgust me. Fucking DISGUST me. But, as I said, Klee is neither. So if you hate Klee purely on a surface level, then... what's left?

EDIT: Y'know, I went back and read my posts and I realized I only said "kids", when I meant "anime kids", I was just deep in that context and I guess didn't realize I made that mistake. And that's what you were taking issue with... That is what I have been thinking all along, and I'm the idiot who fucked up. So this is all on me. Apologies.

Haven't played Animal Crossing or Hades, so I will vote for Klee.

Normally I'd kinda agree with the "generic anime little girl" comments, but Klee's different. She's not sexualized in any way, and in universe they treat her like a kid because she is a kid. A kid who has access to dynamite who gets constantly grounded for exploding everything. She's hilariously adorable.

People that have played it know. Klee means well, but shes only here to destroy. It's what she's good at!

Do people really feel Astrobot is particularly cute? The VR game is awesome and from what I've heard the PS5 one is charming as well, but Astrobot himself has always come off as a little generic to me. Nothing about his design sticks out to me.

Cute is more than the outer, cold, hardened steel shell of a bot. Personality counts, it is important, and Astro has mountains of cute personality.

Scampusses (Scampi?) from Nioh 2. No contest.

Fat cat-like yokai (demons) who are always happy to see you.

You can find them in most levels and they can be recognized by the sleeping noises they make. Stroke their heads and they'll help you out!

They're a bit corpulent, but they have no problem keeping up.

Take them into the Dark Realm with you and the demonic energy will cause them to inadvertently blow up like pufferfish. Don't mind their angry look, however; they're still your staunch allies.

I want one.

Scampuss for me as well!


Zagreus from Hades is cute too.

Remake Cloud is something special.

I can't believe my WoW playing friends kept this from me, I will take them to task for this.

What if I told you you can have your own Owl buddy that brings you a drink (20% health potion) every 5min (cooldown), and sticks around as a vendor if you need one, and can also respec your talents on the go?

That anime girl in the OP is nauseating. Basically anti-cute. Barf.

Not necessarily a character per se, but the Scampuss from Nioh 2 is pretty cute.

It's those two. Nothing else comes close.

Ku is beyond adorable, and the scampus is a permanent affix in my character's in-game house.

Dear internet,

where the fudge are the Scampuss gifs? people need to appreciate the fat cat roll

Yours sincerely
A concerned Nocturnowl
While I appreciate ClearMetal's glorious contributions, I am desperately seeking a gif of 3 scampus rolling in unison behind the running protagonist... because that's just so goshdarn awesome. Can anyone help?

We should rephrase this as "character you'd most want a plushie of" to make it clearer what kind of cute is being looked for.
