If you are basing character restrictions on whether people will interpret the ship as "lolicon" does that mean that adult lalafell characters like Tataru, Krile and Pipin are out of the running as well? If they are allowed, can I ask how "Meteor" as he/she is usually depicted would not skirt this border too?
Hmm, you actually bring up a very interesting and valid point! We've thought about this issue, and we think that rather than setting the restriction on fully adult, yet "underage appearing" characters ourselves, we will instead plan to host a vote/poll so that everyone may contribute their opinions for these edge-case age/appearance scenarios. That way, everyone can collaborate to the discourse by sharing their own opinions, and we will come to a conclusion on our character inclusion policy based on the results. This issue can be a huge pain-point in romance and shipping discourse, but hopefully everyone will be able to accept the outcome, at least to some degree!
And to clarify, actually underage characters will still not be eligible to be highlighted due to Meteor's planned age depiction within this zine. This poll would be for of-age characters who would fit the description of having a "childlike appearance".
We will most likely begin this poll after Fan Fest 2023 is complete, so please hang on until then! Thank you in advance!
