The Merchant was in the game long, long, before the other character and his actual introduction is either in the back streets where you can sign up to be a slave or in his shop.
Holy shit. I just found more.
The character's name is "Snowflake."
Mentions loving little girls. Do I need to mention how tone-deaf that is from the dev of LonaRPG?
Looks just like a meme image I see trolls post on Twitter and 4chan.
And everything about this character is tonally dissonant from the seriousness of the rest of the game. Wow, cruel medieval dark fantasy world, but he's shoehorning modern political fetishes he has into this? Cringe.
I'm starting to see why him saying he's underage is believable. The dev acts like a 4chan teenager who wants to shove his agenda into our porn games. I'm also starting to think "Snowflake" might be based on himself, considering Eccma's whole thin-skinned "don't you dare criticize my politics" whining.
I mean, I'm sure he does more than whine about how mean people are to him about his political views (I don't even know what those views are, though), but since those warnings are some of the only quotes I've seen from him, it's hard to imagine him as anything but some teenager who posts cringe he thinks is deep and edgy, but can't take what he dishes out.
EDIT: Wait, am I reading this right? Eccma put in Snowflake as some kind of revenge for someone (allegedly) annoying him? Holy crap, that is beyond cringe levels of thin-skinned. It's like Eccma is trying to gather the Infinity Stones of Cringe.
