Etna is drawn youthfully, but then again most characters in Disgaea are drawn so. Only the old overlords are drawn as older adults. Anyway, Disgaea fortunately isn't a hentai, so any doujinshi porn can be drawn in any way the artist wants to, but the original creators won't be responsible for it.

are you talking about?
- You seem confused to what a loli character is. They don't have to be moeblobs, they just have to look young, which Etna does. When Haradaya draws people old they have breasts like balloons.
- Sending a whole army to go and get some pudding is not smart and cunning. She's a character in a comedy game.

Sounds like you're more of a loli connoisseur.
Rozalin has a big chest, but she's only 17. That's not exactly "old." And she behaves in ways that are naive, whereas Etna does not. And Etna is cunning. She's trying to plot against Laharl. But it is a comedy and she does goofy stuff. Etna is not drawn like a child, nor does she act like one. I just don't see it that way. Loli is more prepubescent, and she doesn't fit that profile. And no, I'm not a loli connoisseur. Just a DFC/pettanko fan. Again, I just find it offensive that if a woman, either drawn or in real life, is seen as young because of the way she's built, then automatically she is young. People have looked oddly at me and my wife because they think she was a 14 year old girl, even though we're the same age. Not so much anymore that we've had a child now, but it's been a source of frustration for her. Even some people in Japan have mistaken her for a high school girl. She just looks young for her age. And no, that's not why I married her. I fell in love with her before we ever met in person. Besides, before I met her, I thought I was into tall girls, not petite girls.
So it's okay and accepted for people to think that Asuka from Evangelion is hot, for example, but not Etna, or so it seems. The only thing that differentiates the two is a cup size or two. Asuka isn't considered loli. If you'd read my rant on the previous page or so ago, you'll understand what I'm getting at. There is a huge difference between DFC and loli. Quite often they intersect, but not always. I like the former but not the latter. Why should people be allowed to judge women by the size of their busts? Quite often, Japanese girls are pretty flat chested. Just because they are depicted as such in anime doesn't mean that they are loli icons. Americans sexualize teenagers all the time in pop culture. Take those controversial Calvin Klein ads from several years back. Or pretty much any teen movie that focuses on kids losing their virginity or something. It's almost celebrated and no negative consequences are really ever shown (even the movie Juno was pretty lighthearted and not really portrayed realistically). It's hard to point fingers at Japan for doing nearly the same way, but in different ways. Some of you guys on here are just overreacting to characters that just have small busts. That's a bit different than lolicon crap.

If you think pics like this are sexy, you must be one of the following:
1. Likely to become a pedophile,
2. Likely to fall in love with an alien princess, join her in the imperial navy and aid her in the subjugation of humankind and furthering the monopoly on space travel, or
3. Likely to be perfectly normal, because she's an awesome anime character.
I vote for 3.
