talking about Aegis age-coding just makes you looks stupid

fukaimetsuThis frustrates me because Xenoblade fans can be fucking weird. It’s really annoying whenever I see people trying to assign "age-coding" to Pyra and Mythra—like they’re supposed to be "teen-coded" or "adult-coded." Literally, who the fuck cares? They’re computers.
I know people do this because of Protestant moral panic—oh nyo, the Big Tits Computer Ladies are "grooming" a 15-year-old boy into being their husband, or they need to justify jerking off to Blade ladies by claiming they’re "adults." It’s such an asinine and shallow interpretation that amounts to nothing. These sword women are artificial intelligence, their age DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER!!! You can’t apply a normal human age perspective to them.
What’s also reaaaalllllly curious is how they only do this to Pyra and Mythra but not Malos. Somehow, Malos is defaulted to "adult," even though he acts more like a goddamn teenager than Pythra ever did. (As I’ve written before, Pyra and Mythra display far more emotional maturity and rationality than people give them credit for.)
I know I shouldn’t look into it too much, but it’s really fucking weird how they insist the female personas are "teen-coded." It reeks of infantilization. The series itself shows that the male persona (Malos) is far more childish than the female personas (Pyra/Mythra), yet I’ve never seen anyone call Malos "teen-coded." What’s frustrating is that people only label Pyra and Mythra as teens because they don’t want to be seen as endorsing "grooming" (which is fucking dumb—they’re not, even if they were "adult-coded"). Meanwhile, nobody calls Jin a groomer or manipulator toward Malos, even though Jin is technically much older and call the ship is abusive because Malos indirectly caused Jin’s suffering.
That aside, I don’t care if you ship Pythra/Rex or Jin/Malos—I couldn’t care less about shipping discourse, and they’re just fictional. But I do care when this happens to my favorite characters. People slap unnecessary labels and shallow interpretations on them just because they’re terrified of their Protestant moral values, as if their ship might "indicate grooming." or they dislike a certain ship because their low IQ think fictional shipping contribute to Real Life Criminal statistics.
Newsflash: The Trinity Processor doesn’t have fucking ages. They aren’t "teen/adult-coded" or whatever bullshit you’ve concocted. They’re AI, and their personalities are shaped by the humans who resonate with them. You can’t just shove human age categories onto them—their very existence contradicts that. They’re not human, figuratively, they’re more like deities.
People who insist on age-coding the Trinity Processors deserve to be shoved into a locker. I swear, these types are always the most annoying.
