Capcom’s Pragmata is officially out today, and, by all accounts, the game itself is pretty great. To celebrate its release, Capcom and Twitch have partnered up to offer Pragmata fans a chance to earn an official “Cryana” Twitch Chat Badge, but several folks online are already accusing said badge of being a reference to a pedophile dog whistle meme that is “typically associated with loli characters.”
The Twitch Chat Badge was announced by the Pragmata X account late last night, which Capcom and Twitch have dubbed the “Cryana” badge; a reference to Pragmata’s 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 “Uohhhhhhhhh!”
“I can’t believe Capcom is uooohposting in their marketing,” commented one user X. “This confirms 100% that it’s pedo bait. No more excuses can be made,” replied another. “This badge is a reference to a popular meme about enjoying cartoon child porn,” replied content creator Lance McDonald, alongside a link to the Know Your Meme “Uohhhhhhhhh!” page.

For context, the Uohhhhhhhhh! meme, or “uoh” as it’s 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.
It is more than possible that Capcom’s 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’s infantile protagonist in the past. A subreddit geared towards erotic images and discussions of Diana was banned from Reddit in February.
Capcom did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
