Indeed, they seem somewhat hypersexualised for their suggested age or at least hypersensualised to some extent.

Furthermore, and this is purely my opinion of course - they seem a bit... tacky(?) and I must admit if I had opened this link at work I would have been a bit embarrassed if someone cartoons of young girls like this on my display.

Perhaps at least a more diverse range of sketches would be both more relatable and useful to demonstrate the project.

Regardless, I’m not sure what rules of HN I broke to deserve -5 votes for voicing my reaction to a projects landing page.

How do you guys determine their age or even gender?

These are fictional characters, they can be 500 years old and have 3 penises.

One of the first images has a girl in what appears to be a school uniform...

And that tells you what exactly? How do you know it's not a trans guy?

You see, you can't tell the age, you can't tell the gender, because they are not real.
