From Gematsu's article (http://gematsu.com/2016/03/genkai-tokki-seven-pirates-wont-have-male-characters):

"Genkai Tokki: Seven Pirates won't have male characters"

Oh yeah! A better chance for yuri characters!

Nah, I agree with Kikaioh. I don't think a 5 year old girl practically wearing pasties is an appropriate thumbnail image either.

It is a bikini top (which some parents actually do buy for there undeveloped daughters), her proportions make her look closer to 10 just being tiny for her age (which you can still fault for sexualizing a minor, but that is nothing new for loli baiting), and most significantly she isn't placed in some sort of tentacle monster situation like most ecchi games would be more than willing to give out as a promo shot.

Two forum-goers have already pointed out the image as displaying a loli character, so even people who like it are conscientious of its target demographic.


Drawings don't have age unless they are super realistic in rapresenting a proportionated human being, anime artsyle is stylized and very fantasy and so pretty far to this.
Also the artist is Mota, she always use super deformed art style (close to Bravely Default), but i guess is useless arguing further so i move on.
Have fun in your personal crusade with the thumbnail, lol. Smile

I disagree. You don't need super-realistic artwork to represent a proportioned human being, and regardless, the Seven Pirate's illustrations do have realistic human anatomical proportions (it certainly doesn't look super-deformed in the traditional sense, though it's possible it may be a "kid-style" version of an older character --- that said, we can glean from that last illustration that there's a much anatomically older looking girl in the top-left corner that doesn't look anywhere near as young). Interpretations aside, the general reaction in the forums so far has been that the character is a lolita, or at least appears to be a child, so I think you're being unnecessarily contrarian on the point.

I do actually enjoy discussing the issue, because it brings to light different aspects of modern tolerance and mindsets in the fandom for these sorts of illustrations (both interesting and disturbing to see). That said, I personally would much prefer not to see these sorts of illustrations while I'm browsing at least the main page of the site, so I'll have to wait and see if the powers that be have a read through this thread, or try to reach out myself.

People just need to relax. It's a drawing. It isn't hurting you nor is it particularly sexual in nature to begin complaining about.
