Dear Yuzuki san, your voice is definitely not lewd like what the others say. Your voice,is in fact crystal clear,very cute, beautiful and soothing. Very comfortable to hear, and that, so high it soars to the highest, just like your friend Hinata san imagine.
Wish to hear more of your singing soon.

And what terrible people who surrounds you and said such words :(

That page confused me.

Am I missing out on some sort of cultural context for "cutesy/high-pitched" = "lewd"? Because that's not an association I can recall having heard of before.

I asked around on discord and someone suggested "lewd" might mean something closer to "flirty" instead, which makes more sense in context, but they made that suggestion without looking at the original JP.

In the raws it's エロ声 so erotic voice, lewd voice, sexy voice, however you want to put it.

Sounds like I'm missing cultural context then. I don't see "high pitched/cute/feminine" voices as "lewd or erotic" and have never heard of anyone describing them as such. I've definitely heard more "sultry" voices described as erotic though.

Edit: Then again, these were 5th graders saying that about the MC, so maybe it's meant to be dismissed as something dumb and nonsensical that some kids were saying.

To my knowledge Japan does enjoy a sexy kind of cute, and elements related to that. So I think it's a cultural context thing here.

Meh, it just how things are...It very simple, people (Even or 'ESPECIALLY' young stupid kids) like to or even love to tear people down and make fun of them for being different, weird or even pretty/beautiful because they are stupid or to just to make themselves feel better about themselves...I might had lived in a nice decent high school experience (Met many decent people, excluding very rude jerks) but that doesn't mean I haven't seen the movies about highschool life and drama plus hearing all the terrible news about high school bullying over stupid sh*t XD

You might think that sounds misanthropic of me but I like to think that is just how reality is like for 50-60% of humanity sadly :)

All over the world we have a sexy kind of cute, this is more about the type that exist in Japan. Just think of that parody voice saying “onii-chan” (or watch japanese porn) that is why they say she has a lewd voice.

I've seen various people in English speaking communities say that cute can't be sexy, so I'm not sure if sexy cute is super normal in the West...? Guess it depends on where you look. Though I think we're more or less on a similar page with what we're thinking lol

I'm definitely not familiar with "sexy cute". Actually just before checking this thread, I saw an alignment chart for characters with the x axis labeled "sexy" on one end and "cute" on the other. And characters placed near the middle would be more "sometimes sexy, other times cute" than "both at the same time".
It's not that sexy and cute are seen as opposite traits, but incongruous.

But yeah, I'll take note of this cultural tidbit going forward. I'd definitely seen that "onii-chan" thing shudders, but I'd never considered it as anything more than a fetish of some gooner otakus. I suppose that type of appeal is more widespread than I thought.
