Yesterday the Vatican surprised everyone by announcing that its new mascot for the holy year 2025 would be an anime-style ‘waifu’ called Luce, who would represent the religious institution in different events and was made as a move to have more contact with the young public. And apparently this worked, as the networks have been filled with a lot of illustrations of Luce, but the most shocking thing that many saw coming was the fact that she is starring in H-type works, something that goes against the main message, but that is ‘craving’ thousands.
Luce, the Vatican’s new ‘waifu’, is being illustrated by artists H
With the arrival of the new ‘waifu’ Luce, fans were shocked, firstly because she will be the official mascot for the Vatican for the holy year 2025, being that her anime style is very different to what you might have as the idea of a mascot for a religious entity such as this. And, on the other hand, what left many speechless is the fact that the networks began to make all kinds of works with her as the protagonist, in many cases adorable, but others took it to a very different path, placing her in H situations, something unthinkable on the part of the church.
And the fact is that Luce, as the young girl is called, is being the main protagonist of illustrations made by H-type artists, where a completely ‘whimsical’ side is shown, in many cases with her in an adult and very voluptuous body to change the original idea of being a much younger girl. Similarly, the artists did not mind that Luce is the image of the Vatican and took the opportunity to show in detail the most ‘daring’ side of her, so that the networks have been filled with this type of images without any kind of filter.
Upon encountering this type of images, users of social networks were quick to give their point of view on the creations, being that mainly we see that many complain about seeing Luce recreated in this way, especially because she is very young, so the illustrations are usually with that body. Being portrayed in this H-style way, the criticism is very mixed, which is in contrast to the more adorable illustrations that are being dedicated to her and which shows that she is not just being used as a waifu for H content material as in other cases.
Now we will have to see if Luce’s popularity continues to increase as time goes by, being that the impact she has had since her announcement has left the whole internet speechless, beyond the fact that she is being used in a very different way to how she was planned.
