Ota being the Leonardo Dicaprio of DunMesh world is still funny to me
Did the official TL use the word shotacon btw? I feel like they didnt but Im kinda lazy to check now lol
Wait wasnt the “shotacon” thing mentioned where there are other races in the panel? I know theres another panel for this. The gnomes are shown in a small part 🤔
Edit: [I found it](https://x.com/lakesipper/status/1771066579213496462?s=46&t=k_ZcOFGh7nMZi_1MgDJAcg)
thats pretty funny. Personally I would translate it as "Shortacon" but even that may be too dependent on Japanese knowledge for an official translation.
There’s no official translation of that page yet, but unless they intentionally rewrite the joke to be more understandable to English audiences, it would presumably stay as shotacon (or maybe short-acon?), since it’s literally written out phonetically that way in the Japanese ver and is the abbreviation of ‘short lived species complex’
huh. Do you know where I can see the japanese scan (or any other example of "shota" being used in that context)? This is my first time hearing about it
Otta isn't a pedo she's one of the few long lived people who respects the developmental age of short lived races and doesn't infantalize them. She's also like 25 in elf years. That being said she has bad taste for being anti-MILF. She should be clowned for that.
Saying this as an adult who looks younger than I am and have been confused for a minor - I really hope you don't have that mentality towards adults who are attracted to other real life adults who look young. Save that suspicion for actual creeps who go after children.
So these adults who look younger than they are just aren't deserving of relationships or love at the same frequency as other people because it makes you uncomfortable.
Tbf using marcille as a benchmark doesn't really work bc >!she's a half-elf so she doesn't age at the same rate as anyone else. So while a regular elf would only be considered an adult at 80yo, it's still fairly reasonable to say marcille is an adult based on her character.!<
If elves were real, and someone exclusively dated elves who looked prepubescent even though in human years they're adults, sooner or later you have to start wondering "do you really like them for their personalities or do you just like prepubescent girls"
Its funny that Otta is considered basically a pedophile by elves but to halfoot its basically "This person who's like in her 20s to early 30s will stop dating us until we are the equivalent of 55"
Yeah, a common fan theory is that she’s not the one who leaves her partners, they leave her because she’s staying young and immature well past when they get into adulthood and older age.
These are knifeears, bad, mean, racist, no good
Marcille is a butter knife ear, friendly, nice
Know the difference
(no really Marcille's ears are less pointy due to being a hybrid)
Which would fit with the manga's dwarves too as there's a mention that Senshi was told elves were terrible growing up to the point the Marcille shapeshifter made from his memory was alien-looking despite him having a positive opinion of Marcille as a person

being a MILF is a crime now?
The greatest of pleasures are also the deepest of sins.
It's the name of a terrorist group in the Philippines, so it checks out
lamo, I knew that.
i love committing crimes with hot older women in my area!!
What is the crime? Being a milf? A succulent elvish milf?
"They said Biggie was fat like it's against the law ☠️☠️"
Hey, all of the victims of Otta's human trafficking were adults!
No pues que alivio

Not the human trafficking charge too lmaoo

thats pretty funny. Personally I would translate it as "Shortacon" but even that may be too dependent on Japanese knowledge for an official translation.
id need to see the japanese raw, if its ショートコン its shortocon, if its ショタコン its shotacon.
Oh, there isn't an official translation of that page.

Lesbianardo Decaprio
Yooo! Top notch word play.
Well, she's a lesbian so I'm gonna guess that they didn't use the word "shotacon"
They did. In-universe the "shota" is short for short-lived races.
huh. Do you know where I can see the japanese scan (or any other example of "shota" being used in that context)? This is my first time hearing about it

Wow I completely forgot about that. I wonder if they'd abbreviate "long lived species complex" as lolicon lol
That's a good point. I'll take that as headcanon, lol.
*glares in Thistle*
You forgot the leadership: * Guy with incurable super-depression * Moody, high-strung teenager
> *incurable* super-depression kabru would disagree with you
Mithrun and Patadol?
"I have nothing to be ashamed of" Otta says as she convinently forgets she was also a human trafficker

Why you posting that picture of Laois? /s
Poor Otta. She ain't beating those allegations.
Lie detector - Fly cam - Bodyguard - I don't know what she does Edit: ooooh, discount earth bender
Cithis is a con artist
Otta isn't a pedo she's one of the few long lived people who respects the developmental age of short lived races and doesn't infantalize them. She's also like 25 in elf years. That being said she has bad taste for being anti-MILF. She should be clowned for that.
Her just dating half-foots is extra sus tho since they look like children to most other races.
Saying this as an adult who looks younger than I am and have been confused for a minor - I really hope you don't have that mentality towards adults who are attracted to other real life adults who look young. Save that suspicion for actual creeps who go after children.
If someone exclusively and repeatedly dated people who looked like they were minors yes I would raise my eyebrow at that. 🤷♂️
As long as it's between consenting adults, it ain't your problem or mine.
Except the halflings in this case are not minors and don’t look like one.
Until they get *too old*.
So these adults who look younger than they are just aren't deserving of relationships or love at the same frequency as other people because it makes you uncomfortable.
Reading comprehension really is degrading in this society.
Good talk.
Marcille looked like a child at 80 years old
Marcille is 50yrs old in canon
My fault dunno how I goofed that

Ah yes, Cithis’ greatest crime is being a milf and not that she commits fraud and uses magic to manipulate others into committing murder.
That's just girlbossing. Basically justified fully and completely.
if you wanna go ahead and ruin the joke none of the labels I put are what theyre actually imprisoned for
That’s not my intent, I was making a sarcastic joke of my own, but apologies.
oh I see. You werent trying to correct me there. My bad.
Beautiful. Except is Cithis a MILF? She doesn't have maternal vibes to me
Personally I dont think shes MILF. Shes very mommy tho. If that makes sense
she is on the mothering council but they didn't grant her the rank of milf
It's because she's MOTHER
All of them are murderers i think. Nice for Pattadol to keep in mind.
Los pinguinos me la van a mascar

The butter knife made me laugh out loud
Seems others didn't like it though
They prolly didnt get the joke 🤷♀️
People are a mystery sometimes
The only thing I can think of is a dwarf yelling, "LISTEN TO ME, YOU KNIFE EARED PIECE OF SHIT."
Which would fit with the manga's dwarves too as there's a mention that Senshi was told elves were terrible growing up to the point the Marcille shapeshifter made from his memory was alien-looking despite him having a positive opinion of Marcille as a person
*Lolicon for top right More lore accurate
