I can't be sure this was the primary use-case that the AI inventors envisioned, but it's hard to argue that it's not successful at this. ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

"for every character there is a gender swapped version of that character"

[-] kyle@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

If a male version of a character exists, there's a female version that someone has made.

Idk what it has to do with the Catholic Waifu though.

Numbers are down, release the waifu! Common business strategy with ancient roots.

Something something "the power of god and anime on my side"

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 5 hours ago

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

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

So whoever carries that anime figure is literally Luciferian.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago

I thought they spoke Latin in the Vatican, aren't they Latino? Otherwise how do we get such classical Christian idioms like "Romanes eunt domus"?

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

Italian is a direct descendant of Latin (along with nearly every other Western language)

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

There's Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese...there are more Germanic-derived ones than Latin-derived, aren't there?

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 32 minutes ago

Romanian, Catalan, Sicilian, Galician, Venetian, probably a number of other dialects, are also Latin descendants.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago* (last edited 23 minutes ago)

I'd have to get a list of every country considered "western" and then figure out how many have predominantly Latin-derived and Germanic-derived languages. Too much work. "Nearly every" one of them would most certainly not be Latin-derived, though.

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 8 points 7 hours ago

Yeah, that was my reaction as well. It's so onion flavored I can't believe it.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago

Finally the Catholics have discovered religion!

[-] AceQuorthon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 8 hours ago

Luce will also represent the Holy See at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.

I love this sentence so much.

[-] loopy@lemm.ee 28 points 9 hours ago

This is the onion-ness we all deserve

[-] XMRFrbgNBwQC6Hkd@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Ahh now I get all the R34 jokes on reddit or/memes today

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

That priest looks stoked

[-] DimFisher@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Yeah, pedos do what pedos usually do

[-] StrangeName@feddit.org 157 points 17 hours ago

Missed the chance to call her Vati-chan.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 47 points 16 hours ago

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.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 hours ago

Yes, the US largely figured that out with The Empire Strikes Back. ๐Ÿ˜œ

[-] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 40 points 15 hours ago

So they choose Luce, so close to Lucifer, and they expect the Internet to NOT bring it up? There's Lucy, Daughter of the Devil on Cartoon Network for shit's sake.

Nevermind the connections to Death Note, a far more popular anime about Light Yagami, and the subtle connections between his name and Lucifer the Lightbringer.

This seems so much worse on it's face, even if you leave out the undertones of children's abuse by the church and Rule 34 that will come out (which are worse, but the church keeps trying to bury it)

[-] sudneo@lemm.ee 18 points 10 hours ago

I know nothing about anime, but I guess it is not that bad? Luce is straight up "light" in Italian, and Lucifer just means "the one who brings light" because it's the Angel's name, before the fall according to the fairytale. So from their POV it should all make sense.

[-] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I dunno, he's a serial killer trying to remake the world by looking everyone he doesn't like and it's pretty mainstream.

Even without that, drawing attention to Light seems weird. Could've been "Peace", "Faith", or "Love" or whatever.

This is just 12 years of Catholic school talking, but it's a strange name to pick that ties to a lot of less than desirable stuff.

[-] sudneo@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago

But Light is like a generic incarnation of god but also knowledge, revelation etc., it's way more absolute than peace or even love. I think Light does make sense from their perspective, and in the catholic symbolism it is identified basically with all positive stuff.

You had a bunch of other references that make sense eh, I am not familiar with them, so I respect that people might have different perceptions.

Are they running so low on young people to molest they've resulted to youthful dolls?
