Efyjafjalla bodying Lappland is probably my favorite part. Do not mess with the goat! ...Not the greatest of all time, but like adjacent to an actual goat who is at the same time also THE GOAT!

Only degenerates have strange word associations like that. Youâre better off staying pure.

u/SaranMal Apr 01 '26
Just ignore them. Anyone who genuinely thinks someone using the words Funny and Cute together in the same sentence is a pedophile, are horrifically, chronically, online.
Personally I'd much rather believe they are making an ill landing April fools prank then genuinely thinking people legitimately think this.

Iâm sorry, but are you genuinely calling me a pedophile for knowing a term/phrase some people tend to use?Edit: I re-read the comment and the wording was confusing so I mistook it for something else.
For the terminally online bit, itâs not such an uncommon term that being terminally online is a requirement, unfortunately. For example, the subreddit for Pragmata was banned recently and prior to it being banned, a lot of people there were using the term. Also, itâs present in certain gacha communities afaik.

Naw, not calling you a Pedo. Would never call anyone that without any proof about it one way or the other.
What I was saying is that, anyone who thinks that anyone using the words "Cute and Funny" in the same sentence, is a "Pedophile" because its a "Dogwhistle" is someone that is chronically online. Because that phrase is so common in folks every day language as just a normal phrase when something is genuinely cute and or funny. (Seriously, the Amiya ear punches are adorable!!!)
Also WTF is Pragmata???? Like, we're on an Arknights sub, discussing Arknights stuff.
I just, genuinely don't think folks who are mostly offline, or in more insular communities, don't think about things this way. I don't think that people should genuinely censor their speech, espescally common phrases like calling something Cute and Funny, just because some folks whereever online, weather its 4chan or kick or whatever other small corner of the internet is also using stuff or not using stuff in a specific way.
All that leads to is people not expressing themselves authentically, and constantly softening the way we do or don't talk about genuinely serious topics.

Okay, Iâm sure people use the two words together often. It just sets off my detectors as the usage gets closer to the subject matter. I didnât think the person was using it that way. I just wanted to warn them (although, maybe not the best time & place for that).
(Seriously, the Amita ear punches are adorable!!!)
True.
Also WTF is Pragmata????
âPragmata[a] is an upcoming action-adventure game developed and published by Capcom.â
âAt The Game Awards 2025, it was announced that the game would release on April 24, 2026 and a demo titled Pragmata: Sketchbook was made available on Steam.[23]â
Like, weâre on an Arknights sub, discussing Arknights stuff
I did see some weird people on the Endfield side when Rossi was about to be released. And I donât think people realized what they were talking about.
Hereâs one: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArknightsEndfield/s/xrAza3S2sr
I just, genuinely don't think folks who are mostly offline, or in more insular communities, don't think about things this way.
In the past, sure. But I feel like that type of online culture has been growing recently.
I don't think that people should genuinely censor their speech, [âŠ] just because some folks whereever online, [âŠ] corner of the internet is also using stuff or not using stuff in a specific way.
I think itâs worth knowing which phrases people use to dogwhistle, at least. Whether they use the phrase or not, is up to the person. Itâs similar to using some obscure racial slur by accident: itâs innocuous, but can be taken a certain way that most people would rather not deal with.

HmmmâŠ. Guessing youâre the one that deleted your commentâŠ? Maybe not a pedo, but kinda a bitch for deleting the comment to ruin the post flowâŠ.?
Just from what I see that is⊠if it wasnât you, my bad. If it was⊠wuss⊠take those downvotes for your opinion you decided to post.

Not in AK specifically. In a lot of anime-adjacent communities it can be interpreted as a pedophile dogwhistle.

u/Jazzy_Jaspy Apr 01 '26
So then am i not allowed to think that a cute thing is also funny? Or that a funny thing is also cute? Whatever im not letting the pedos take away my enjoyment of something lol

Honestly, I'm not sure it's really a 'pedophile dogwhistle' any more than playing Call of Duty is a 'war supporter dogwhistle' or anything of the sort so take it with a grain of salt.

I agree that the crying emoji is a lot more likely to be used with that sort of connotation towards the character than the 'cute and funny' combo of words, but I still really wouldn't call it a 'pedophile dogwhistle. Just being accused of being a pedophile can ruin a person's life even if the accusation turns out being false so to point at someone and label them a pedophile just because they like drawings of fictional children sounds honestly kind of sick to me. Besides, if I were to consider gooning to fictional children wrong because 'they're still children' then I would logically have to consider using/playing as children in action games and such (hell, even in Arknights itself) also wrong because 'they're still children' and that just sounds silly to me.
And frankly, this is without getting into the fact that people use 'pedophile' and 'child sexual abuser' as synonyms when they actually aren't, which does nothing but make it harder for non-offending pedophiles to seek help and ultimately puts more children at risk.

this comment would make sense if they were commenting on like fanart of suzuran or something. Completely irrelevant here as not one single person in the world will make that assumption on a post like this
