Capcom\u2019s Pragmata is officially out today, and, by all accounts, the game itself is pretty great<\/a>. To celebrate its release, Capcom and Twitch have partnered up to offer Pragmata fans a chance to earn an official \u201cCryana\u201d Twitch Chat Badge, but several folks online are already accusing said badge of being a reference to a pedophile dog whistle meme that is \u201ctypically associated with loli characters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Announced by the Pragmata X<\/a> account late last night, the Twitch Chat Badge has been dubbed the \u201cCryana\u201d badge by Twitch and Capcom, with \u201cCryana\u201d being a reference to Pragmata\u2019s android protagonist, Diana, who has the appearance of a young girl. Following the post on X, hundreds of users immediately began accusing Capcom of referencing a meme known as \u201cUohhhhhhhhh!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe Capcom is uooohposting in their marketing,\u201d commented one user on X<\/a>. \u201cThis confirms 100% that it\u2019s pedo bait. No more excuses can be made,\u201d replied another<\/a>. \u201cThis badge is a reference to a popular meme about enjoying cartoon child porn,\u201d replied content creator Lance McDonald<\/a>, alongside a link to the Know Your Meme<\/a> \u201cUohhhhhhhhh!\u201d page.<\/p>\n

I thought we weren\u2019t engaging with the lolicon crowd on this actual child, what is this https:\/\/t.co\/NpCStA96YO<\/a><\/p>\n

For context, the Uohhhhhhhhh! meme, or \u201cuoh\u201d as it\u2019s often known in shorthand, is a reference to an infamous post on X, back when it was still called Twitter, in which a user replied with several crying emojis on a post featuring an image of a child. The user was banned, but the incident became a meme, spreading first on 4chan. As a result, several emotes on Twitch featuring underage anime women crying began popping up in reference to it.<\/p>\n

It is more than possible that Capcom\u2019s marketing team is unaware of the connotations surrounding the reference and just thought turning Diana into a sobbing emoji would be a funny fit. That being said, Pragmata has had issues with certain fans sexualizing the game\u2019s infantile protagonist in the past. A subreddit geared toward erotic images and discussions of Diana was banned from Reddit in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Capcom did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
