"Other, less-hinged criticisms" - adding specific opinion or judgment?

The "pilgrim's staff"

It is no coincidence that the staff has the shape of K-rune (Kaun/Kauna/Kaunan/Kenaz) which also means a torch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaunan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:7D0:83C0:5080:2CA5:C24:1B59:64B9 (talk) 21:19, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a citation or is this just something you made up? Di (they-them) (talk) 23:53, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the shape of the staff is from this. 世界解放者 (talk) 02:54, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Luce's age ?

Many people draw her in questionable situations, how old is she, or is she a child? Would be a shame if she was. Even if she wasn't, after all. Nxtlgc (talk) 19:36, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think there is any official info about that. Di (they-them) (talk) 20:09, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She looks probably like 13 or below I’d Shoot myself if it ain’t Skaabda (talk) 12:36, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think she's at least 11 max, she's heavily implied to be a child. Cyb3rstarz (talk) 04:51, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't that be mentioned in the Article? 79.224.165.6 (talk) 11:44, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added it since there's a source. Di (they-them) (talk) 23:36, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it necessary to mention that? I can not read the full article without a account, so I do not know that this article is merely talking about Luce's rule 34 or also talking about its infulence. Almost every fiction character have rule 34, but we would not mention that in Wikipedia merely because there is rule 34. 世界解放者 (talk) 03:03, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article discusses how the amount of rule 34 images is staggeringly and notably large, and how much of it uses AI-generation, which is relatively new on the Internet. I think that those two factors make it unique/notable enough to be worth mentioning. Di (they-them) (talk) 04:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think so. It is very common for every fiction character now, since generative AI has been there for a while. 世界解放者 (talk) 13:44, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't think that it should be mentioned. The whole point of "rule 34" is that there's supposed to be some of everything. Should every article state that there's rule 24 about the subject? Absolutely not. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 14:24, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- It shoudn't be mention, unless you will go to every anime or popculture character and write in it had a porn parody (which is most of them). It's nothing difrent from hundret of childreen characters who get risky fan-art on deviant art. 99% of Luce art online is made by childreen and devotet Catholics and that feels like more noticible thing. "Adult art" is just for people who look for it.
