Twitter is generally known as the “sewer of the Internet”, because there are many people who tend to want to impose their sense of morality on others, generally being ridiculed for it. . This is precisely what happened recently with Sousou no Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End), a series that has attracted a lot of attention during the current season of Fall-2023 (October-December).
The impeccable work of the studios Madhouse has not gone
unnoticed on social networks, and each new episode leads Frieren to become a
trend world. The protagonist, an elf who has lived for more than a
thousand years, has attracted attention on the networks as one of the most
popular characters of the season, especially for its design, its personality
and its immense power.
This inspired a user on social networks to make a meme praising Frieren as cute, attractive, beautiful, and other compliments of the same nature, only for a Twitter user respond immediately: «She is a minor».
It is not the first and it surely will not be the last
time that people on Twitter (or on any social network) claim
that a character from anime is a minor simply because of her appearance. In
this case, Frieren's short stature and small breasts have been enough of an
excuse for people on social networks to classify her as a loli, despite that
these characteristics could easily be found in any real woman of short stature.
Anyway, the subject ended up being ridiculed all over
Twitter, leading him to make his account private. Perhaps these types
of outcomes lead to these types of incidents occurring every time less on
social networks. But of course, let's not forget the community comments:
- «If
I had a dollar for every time someone has said something like that every
time an anime character becomes popular, I'd probably have a few thousand
dollars».
- «She's
over a thousand years old, you idiot».
- «He is literally one of the oldest characters in all of anime».
- «It
is worrying that for this person, calling someone “cute” means “I want to
fuck you.” How did you come to the conclusion that Frieren is a minor? She
has neither the looks nor the attitude, so she doesn't understand it ».
- «So
you have to call a woman ugly until she turns eighteen?».
- «The
funniest thing is that when you tell them the character's age, they simply
say that “you're making excuses”».
- «Short
people exist. Furthermore, she is more than a thousand years old».
- «Those
who call someone a pedophile generally project themselves onto other
people».
- «I
haven't seen Frieren because it hasn't caught my attention, but isn't that
character over a hundred years old?» .
- «It
seems like all anime characters are minors nowadays».
- «Frieren
doesn't even look particularly minor, she's just short».
- «She
is cute and sensual despite everything. I guess she's the kind of person
who thinks video games make people violent »
- «At
this point, many people project themselves onto others when they call them
pedophiles».
- «Tell
me you don't know anything about elves without telling me you don't know
anything about elves».
- «Isn't
he of marriageable age in the series? She is not a teenager. At least she
doesn't act like a teenager or a girl. And she seems mature enough in
nature. Don't know. The age of elves is always confusing no matter where
she is displayed. Elves live longer than humans, I know that. ».
