"The Problem of Nun Image Collapse" Are the nuns in the second dimension either promiscuous or crazy? The contrast between cuteness and cuteness is gone now

Speaking of "nuns" in the creative works, what words do you immediately think of to describe them? According to the actual church culture, it should be the "three vows" of spiritual poverty, chastity and obedience. However, in creative works, especially Japanese animations, games and other two-dimensional works, nuns often seem to have the opposite character setting, becoming crazy and promiscuous characters. At the beginning, it was nothing more than hoping to use this contrast to create a unique character charm. However, Japanese netizens have recently started discussing that in recent years all nun characters seem to have become madmen. When madness and promiscuity have become the standard features of nuns, the contrast between cuteness and cuteness is no longer the same!

"I occasionally think that when almost all nuns in the world are labeled as 'promiscuous, bad, and crazy,' the innocent nuns are gradually becoming extinct. As a person who likes nuns, I am really worried."

A Japanese netizen nicknamed "Dead Fish (死魚)" posted a message about how nun characters in recent works, especially in two-dimensional works such as Japanese anime and games, are easily labeled as lewd, bad, mad, and so on. . And the kind of nun who was supposed to abide by poverty, chastity and obedience has instead become a problem for rare animals...

The nuns of "BLACK LAGOON"

This topic immediately sparked heated discussions. Many netizens said that the original character setting of this bad nun had a contrasting and cute charm. However, as delinquency has gradually become the standard for nuns, and similar characters have become routines, the contrast has also been diluted, which has led to the entire image of nuns in everyone's minds collapsing.

The reaction of Japanese netizens is...

"It's true... At first, it was the contrast between the character and the impression that made it interesting, but now this kind of setting can be seen everywhere, which makes me worry that the original charm of contrast has been destroyed~~"

"Everyone wants to play with contrast, but the result is a mess."

"As a nun who likes innocence and feels shy and depraved at the same time, I say, I agree."

"I immediately thought of 'Black Clover'."

"Are you talking about Iochi Mari from 'Blue Archive'?"

"The three members of the nuns in 'Blue Archive' just have a little quirk, but they are all kind and devout nuns. But I also admit that they are super sexy."

"I think the influence of 'Black Lagoon' and 'A Certain Magical Index' is too great... 'Blue Archive' is not really promiscuous, but because everyone hopes that they are actually promiscuous Right."

"Index is a pretty innocent type. She just bites the heads of the men she lives with."

"Seira Mimori from 'Saint Tail' is an orthodox and kind-hearted trainee nun."

"It reminds me of the movie 'The second generation is Christian'. In the movie, just setting the nuns as gangsters seems to be completely out of line with modern people's expectations. At least the priests should be spies and the believers should be killers. It feels like it is enough."

"The character in 'Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin' being aired this season still retains the traditional image of a nun."

"The same phenomenon also happened with 'Saint'. When everyone deliberately adopts a contrasting setting, it will gradually become a routine, become pedantic and collapse. It's not just the hero."

The Saint from "Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence"

"It reminded me of a report I had seen before, saying that because clowns were created and depicted in a very scary way, the real clowns originally put on makeup to please children, but now they are scaring them instead..."

"The image of shrine maidens collapsed decades ago..."

"Miko, female doctor, health teacher, maid, which one is not like this?"

Editor's note: When I first saw Myrthe in "Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin", I felt like I hadn't seen such an orthodox nun in a long time!
