I do hope what the director said about giving Evie more than just looks to appreciate is true, because Eve was hot and all, but she had lackluster charm besides soda can autism.
Putting aside the "she's a 1,000 year old elf" bit, his own criterion for why Frieren isn't loli/child-like also applies to what we've seen from Evie:
- "She talks like an adult"/"She has adult tendencies"/"She never acts like a child"

- "Her proportions are not child-like"

- "She has the role of an adult in the [story]"

Retarded, vapid take as always, Zack. Anyways what Evie represents is just Korean beauty standards for adult women (in fact, the world over you can find female beauty standards being a combination of neotenous and mature features). That's it, but so many retards seem to be experiencing culture shock for the first time. Or just using it to bludgeon others with the "pedo" buzzword that's now in vogue. I guess they realized "sexist" and "misogynist" lost their bite.
