      Oh damn, in German, “Vati” is an affectionate form like “daddy”, except it’s the word stem of “father” (“Vater”).

      And wouldn’t you know it, Christians also use “Vater” to refer to priests, the pope and their god.

          Except they were kinda wrong. “Vader” is father in Dutch, not German.

      Yes; “Luce” is Italian for "Light’ and “Lucifer” is Latin for “light bearer”. They are cognates.

      “How do we distract from all the child molestation?”

      “Loli mascot?”

      “Genius, go out and buy a 3d printer so I can get my hands on her ASAP!”

    If there is an internet rule for every character there is a religion swapped version of that character, I’d like to see Pagan/Wicca versions of them like they have moved out of the bible belt (especially Texas) and into a mostly blue state where they can preserve their freedom of religion from certain religious nutjobs.

        Aslan from the Narnia series is basically a feral fan-made fursona for Jesus

        Please no. I think I’d have no choice but to firebomb the Vatican.

        Edit: Catholic furries are fine, I don’t have anything against them so long as they’re not trying to proselytize or something; but I don’t want the Catholic church anywhere near me.

      it looks like if raincoats were hijabs…

      Who are they trying to appeal to with this, are they launching a vatican sponsored cocomelon clone?
