>>47608641Nah, I'm the one who posted the franchise thing and I 100 percent believe Pokemon is selling sex just like most every JRPG franchise these days. I think they're just more subtle about it, but I think in general, the media has become more liberal about sex.
You can't look at Lusamine and tell me she wasn't meant to be a sex symbol, even as a bait and switch. They know people like MILFs because everyone knows that now. It's like a thing, and it has been for years.
I mean look at Fate/. Everybody knows Raita draws doujins, and they still let him make servants. He even did designs for other games. He wasn't allowed to draw porn of those characters, characters like Selvaria Bles and such, but that just means they knew what they were getting into beforehand. Also, he still draws ecchi pics of those characters, and does his doujins with OCs, so it's not like fame and opportunity changed him.
