So, is "cute and funny" a the artist's intent or the translator's fault?

^I hate how we have to guess the intent of thinking something is cute and funny now. Just the other day I avoided that wording intentionally by switching to alternate phrasing along the lines of something being adorable and humorous, or whatever adjacent wording there is. It's frustrating lol

Is there some special connotation for "cute and funny" now?

It's a "meme" stemming from Blue Archive community, where they describe younger character as "cute and funny" which shorten to "cunny" which is a slang word for little girl genitalia. Often with crying emoji. Since then it spread to other gacha, anime and gaming communities.

^Also made even more disturbing by some of them not separating reality and fiction, where it goes further than them liking specific anime-style characters. That and this particular type of BA fan tends to be the male self insert ones that harass anyone that ships the girls with each other, as they tend to be bigots that are openly homophobic and also transphobic/misogynist/racist. Usually they're far right, to the point that some of them openly call themselves nazis. The worst all around on many levels.
There's BA fans that are relatively normal, BA has some character designs I like, but I don't want to be associated with the Western fandom or the phrase in question as it's commonly a red flag for people with the worst views.

^I saw one guy who was hating on Yuzuha's (ZZZ) VA for posting Yuzuha with Lesbian flag background, that had "cunny" in name and some BA character profile pic, that had photo of random (real) 10-12 years old posted with "Marry me, I want your cunny! Cryingemojix3" as captions. That post had few hundreds likes. Account itself had tens of thousands of followers.

^^Ew, and sadly that's exactly the kind of person that comes to mind. They're so disturbing on numerous levels, and that's exactly why I avoid using the phrase being discussed.

Eww. That's gross and annoying.
Think reversing the order would be enough to avoid the association? Funny and cute flows better, to my ear, anyways. Not sure why though, since lists like that are usually alpha order? Maybe it's because cute has a harder ending, while funny has a softer ending and similar consonants to and?

Somehow, that is completely unsurprising.

Oh BTW. Fluffy I checked Pixiv for different image and one of "check out other artists" were "AnimeNazi" who drawn anime characters in Nazi uniforms. So that is that.

Just for the record, I think "cunny" is just regular slang for female genitalia and Blue Archive weirdos were the ones to associate it with little girls
Another thing they did was claim a character as one of them (as in racist) for no other reason than because she likes videogames. I saw things involving her that nobody should have to look at.

^Yeah according to Wikidictionary it's diminutive of female genitalia, but honestly I saw it used in that context literally once in last few years. Otherwise it's always have been the OTHER one. It's started with BA (afaik), but since then leaked everywhere where "lolis" are involved.

@Moedred Yeah...that's a whole thing. It's also a branch of femboy fandom sphere where they draw Astolfo in a nazi uniform...it's weird. I think Astolfo would hate nazis...
@Juanelric Yeah there's a reason I won't call myself a gamer or anything close to that, I might say I enjoy playing video games, but I don't want to be associated with any particular type of gamer that have the worst views.
Anyways I think we should conclude this conversation or move it elsewhere. We've gotten very off topic and I think a mod will probably say something soon.
