Part of Christ-Chan’s appeal is her religious zealotry, a bit like Momoko in the English dub of ghost stories. Luce doesn’t give off those kinda vibes.

That one was actually funny because we all knew it was a gag dub. Christ-tan is just annoying because it's used by anti-fedorafags who keep telling people to repent and tell everybody they don't like to go back to r/Atheism.

Jannies went into overdrive. I'm on my arse with a tendon injury so I was terminally online at the time. Out of every ten Luce threads, nine were deleted and one was sent here, for whatever reason.

I've never seen such seethe in my life, it was as hilarious as it was pathetic.
Even now, a Luce thread lasts only a few minutes before being deleted.
Truly wretched creatures, the mods and jannies of that board.

Christ-chan is a pretty lazy design in all honesty. Her entire motif looks like a mischaracterization of a school teacher.
Luce has some interesting thought put into it, namely the raincoat.

I'm not a fan of anieme; and sometimes not even a fan of the Catholic church; but it's been refreshing to watch it take off. Especially in /pol/ (before all the threads started getting set here), Luce had become popular as almost a counter-culture character, with all the meme potential that comes with it.

part of the reason I said >>21548454

I get that /bant/ is considered the island of misfit toys for /pol/ threads; and that most threads, once banished here, die a lonely and unnoticed death.

But what if you don't like being around the misfits? So someone is OP/reading a thread, and it gets sent here. What then? Maybe they hang around long enough to see what other threads are sent to Van Diemen's land.

Meanwhile, since there are so few people who care abound thread lifespan in /bant/; a reply once a thread hits about page 6 keeps it active for another few days.

Maybe someone will take the time to create a /Luce/ general, which links to the various related stories and events. That thread could be up for years in /bant/ before anyone notices

A fine thought indeed, that we might live in such contentedness that such desires of the flesh would never gain a foothold.
But these are modern times and men are lonely creatures who can choose to abstain, but only so that they can say "they didn't" at the end of it all.
And for most, that's simply not enough.
Which is a great pity.

Desperately need more like this specifically. Need a whole Luce Lore series. I want to see Luce's adventures with the other churches and even religions. Shit would be so cash.

First thing is I wanna see Luce and her Byzantine counterpart.

In 2025, a World Expo is being held in Osaka Japan. More than 100 nations will have pavilions at the expo
https://www.expo2025.or.jp/en/

Luce will be the mascot for the Vatican pavilion at the expo
https://news.artnet.com/art-world/is-the-vaticans-new-anime-inspired-mascot-a-major-pr-victory-or-deeply-evil-2562743

It looks like Luce will also be the mascot for The Vatican's Jubilee Year of 2025
https://bleedingcool.com/comics/the-vatican-attends-lucca-launching-their-cartoon-mascot-luce/

As part of the Jubilee Year, the "Holy Door" at the Vatican is opened; and followers are granted an indulgence if they walk through the door during the yearlong celebration
https://youtu.be/MFatdCqzM9o?si=_kUrVVRP8T5YlzH1

The mascot for the Osaka Expo is "Myaku-Myaku"; which is... hard to explain, look at the image. Though not the same, it does project a Revelations 4:2-8 sort of vibe

Sure, but why are they just now needing a mascot? Especially for an organization that seems centered around old traditions and ceremonies? What's changed?

I'm not an expert on the subject, but as far as the Osaka Expo goes, it looks like nations are encouraged to have their own mascots. See image for what is purported to be the Czech mascot (on the right) See also:
https://x.com/mondomascots/status/1791085734897823911

So in terms of having a mascot at all, it's a matter of fitting in with everyone else; including having mascots which reflect the insane Japanese popular culture.

Having a mascot at all, and appealing to the anime fans does seem an unusual choice considering the tradition; but there is also a certain cleverness in it; especially if your goal is to spread the Gospel in Asia; (which happens to be one of the goals of the Catholic Church.

Still on the top of tradition, at least in the US there has been a change in recent years in the way that the church and parishes are set up. Because of both declining attendance and the liability from lawsuits; they created a concept of a 'community of parishes'; where 3 or 4 churches work together as a unit, sharing the work and spreading the labor where needed.

Seeing the Czech mascot with all the eyes, it's only a matter of time before all of the end-times theorists see it and freak out. It's not canon as it is being used now; but it's close enough to something in the book of revelations to get people's attention
>>
>>21615407
>>21615476
I also think it's going to be one giant marketing gimmick. So , just as people collect pins from the different nations at the olympics; there will be people encouraging everyone to try to collect (buy) the mascot toys from each of the pavilions

This is a wholesome LVCE thread. The only one on this entire website.
At any rate, take solace (if you'll pardon the pun) and relax. Unclench your jaw. Release your shoulders. Exhale.
