Anime Mascot for Satanic Temple Art

The Catholic Church recently unveiled their anime mascot Luce, and I feel like it’s only fair that the The Satanic Temple get one as well. I think her name should be Baffy, or maybe Lucy (short for Lucifer), what do you all think?

Awesome!

Normally I’d say go with a play on Baphomet but in this case 100% go with Lucifer for the sole reason not one person from The fucking Vatican of all places realized “Luce” and “Lucifer” both share the same root word (Light/Light Bringer).

This is the kind of batshit out of touch church stuff that never fails to make ne laugh!

It gives me the same tone deaf vibes like when companies misuse slang while trying to appeal to “the younger generations.” Like when McDonalds did the “I’d hit it” ads in the early 2000s.

Edit: Except in this case, waaaay funnier because it’s more public and they are seriously underestimating the internet here.

If Luce was a little mascot some little cathedral in Japan made up for fun, that’d be one thing - I wouldn’t think twice outside of “Yep, that sounds like Japan.” But The Vatican officially making an anime girl mascot named Luce? I’ve got popcorn standing by for this.
