It’s not even about the fact that an imaginary character is a little girl, it’s the fact that hello kitty was made for little girls… prepubescent girls are its target audience and turning something made for literal toddlers into something sexual is disgusting and disturbing
@lizeok
she's still a child even if she isn't real and sanrio's overall target audience is typically young girls so it is very weird when people do this ur right :/
@redhairjoonstan
like she’s literally a symbol of kindness and love and people keep making putting her into these adult contexts she has nothing to do with it’s so annoying
@lizeok
I hate it when people do this to canonical little girl characters in general and make the excuse that “the series is over 40 years old” like they do it to strawberry shortcake as well
@lizeok
honestly it feels kinda p3do-baity everytime these people corrupt hello kitty and similar characters by making them sexualized or like, adultified in general :S
@lizeok
You know she did a cross license with play boy right?
In context of her narrative products like cartoons and books she is a little girl.
In context of her mascot and branding products she is whatever they want. For example a vibrator.
Japan uses cute mascots for everything.

It's really not about kitty tho, it was about the words, they do it with a lot of different shirts, as long as it has text they'll do this, if it has an image they'll keep it on the shirt. But Kitty is colateral damage
