>>56740010It hasn't even been a week, and I'm already done with this joke.
It's one thing to have your Pokemon brandished as a tame sexual joke like Vaporeon, but pedophilia is an extremely serious matter that is traumatic for many who are or have been victims, and people are taking this way too far. There are already hundreds of thousands of posts on Twitter about it.
They're also brandishing ALL Typhlosions as sex offenders, both Hisuian AND Johtonian. Instead of just the one outlier who actually did the act. Which makes this all so much worse.
Pokemon used to be a safe place for me. It gave me comfort as an autistic child dealing with a fuckload of bullying and neglect. Pokemon made me feel good. Pokemon Gold and Silver were my absolute favorite games growing up, and Typhlosion was my favorite starter of the three. I wanted a Gen 2 anime SO BADLY, and when I saw Pokemon Chronicles do a 3-episode special with Ethan (Jimmy) and Typhlosion, i fucking lost my shit. I couldn't believe my eyes. Typhlosion and Ethan were on the TV screen and not just on my Game Boy.
But because of something that was created quietly by one of the devs which was never supposed to see the light of day and isn't even part of the canon got leaked to the public, I'm now going to have to hear that my favorite Pokemon is a fucking sex offender.
I'm never going to hear the fucking end of it. I'm genuinely in tears knowing that my favorite Pokemon is now going to be compared to the likes of actual fucking monsters that exist in our plane of existence.
After over 25 long years of playing this franchise, I'm so fucking close to just giving up and never coming back. This is actually so fucked up that you are all making jokes about all this.
