With a new yo-kai watch game coming out soon I figured I'd talk about something related to it that really really rubs me the wrong way in all ways.
How come *literally* 80% of all nsfw works related to YW is without a doubt underage cp.
I'm not trying to be political and I know that the game originated from Japan, (blahblahblah age of consent is 13 while most other areas in the world is 18 or so) but a LOT of the characters in this game/franchise are either one of the six:
•Human; chid
•Spirit; child
•Human; adult
•Spirit; adult
•Anthro**
•Misc***
(((**Is all spirit because there's lit no non-spiritual anthros in this game
***Object type. It speaks for itself)))
First and foremost- let's put Nate and Katie and the rest of the school who isn't human;adult. Nobody in that nature is even near the age of consent let alone they're all elementary school kids. So it shouldn't be done at all. I know I sound pushy but when it's obvious on the characters age and how young they are- it's a big red flag not to- case in point.
But now for the more obtuse point of the topic: the yo-kai
Most people would clearly say around the lines of,
"They're spirits, they have no specified age"
While that's true- and could be honestly a backfire shot towards my case- consider the following:
Let's follow the rule of thumb with non-anthro's since it's most of the humanoid looking yo-kai I'm concerned about.
If there's one thing this game does with its characters is that with most of the yo-kai it's clear to tell what kind of age state they inhibit.
For example: Bunny Mint and Hanako-san.
Most people would *view* Bunny Mint as an older character from the way she dresses, some would dispute that she's that of a older teen or young adult.
For Hanako-San (because I refuse to say her dub name), people can easily say she's a child because of her size and appearance.
What im trying to say is- is that if there's just too much cp in this franchises fanbase and going by the rule of thumb- most of it breaks it.
Characters like Benzaiten, Indy Jaws, Darumacho or even Blizzaria would be okay, like draw as many legal big tittied waifus or scalies as you like. But those like Hanako-San, Lie-in, Frostina and Kon-Tan should be left alone.
