i may not be an expert on the qipao but it is no doubt that it is sexualization of the outfit, revealing much of the skin and to highlight the curves of the body
1. the outfit
the outfit in question is a qipao / cheongsam, the one luka is wearing is a sleeveless one piece dress with a window on her chest and side slits up to the thigh
note that this is just one perspective from a chinese !! other chinese people can have a different take on this, but it is still a voice that needed to be heard
i may be stupid but i noticed that the barcodes on their faces has a number hidden in it and not random (kohane: 9, an: 10, akito: 11, toya: 12)
the numbers are the character order, lukas can be read as 24 if vocaloids are registered after the ocs to be the 24th character
unfortunately the sexualization of the qipao (and the stereotype of other chinese women characteristics such as the braided bun hairstyle) is not a new thing and so other mobages and media like love live have gotten away with it for so long
3. the model
now it wouldnt be that bad if it was just luka, a 20 year old in design, however considering it has an in game costume model that can be applied to Any other female character is the thing that makes a difference
2. the card art
the card art amplifies that sexualization further with the lighting and incense/smoke, combined with lukaβs pose brings the intent out even more

once again other chinese people can have different views or even like the card and is just my personal opinion, this thread is simply here to inform the phenomenon that has been occurring for many years across media !!
4. so what draws the line of what is orientalist?
unfortunately, the lines are very blurry in terms of what is considered orientalist or not, depending on who you are asking, take this ena card in the same set as an example
its not a traditional qipao design with the shape of the dress, so it is hard to say whether or it its cultural appropriation or not, the same goes with the mizuki card: they are both wearing a stylized qipao design, which makes lukaβs the only one to be blatant from the get go
every once in a blue moon i talk about this game and its when people dumb it down to rodyvince as the center part of the game. this is why they can never be alive in a canon ending it would ruin everything its building up to. ur just delusional
ive long since muted this thread but just to clear it up: ill admit that the 3d model section was a bit of a stretch due to lighting on the model itself that makes it more noticeable, but everything else i say still stands!
