Like I said, putting aside the really crappy post. I think you're right. Feferi's player seems intimately aware she's thirteen and is playing up the fact that she's a vulnerable character being manipulated and used for a lark. There's a bit of a skeevy feel to the way that this player is treating the scene. No disagreement here.

I am actually more trying to question and address the general view that treats these characters as basically human, but with gray skin. In a way, even the Feferi-mun is slightly guilty of this. Though they use different words for certain concepts and play up a little non-human behavior, they do give off the vibe of "I got away with putting this kid on stage," which is just as problematic (if not worse) as the other extreme of "How dare you put them in any adult situations. They're 13!"

So, yes, we agree that this player's got some issues going here. I'm trying to move past and ask a question about a more general habit in the HS fandom. However, this is wankgate, so I'm not sure it's the best venue for the topic to really be considered.
