Champing at the bit*
And I can't tell if you're saying its cringe because it's an NPC or because they're middle-aged. Not sure I understand the cringe about her being middle-aged. But an NPC in a video game? Sure, that I understand.
Hey, TIL! Although in further reading, it appears that both versions have been accepted for quite a while (at least the 1910's), but "champing" is definitely the OG version.
Honestly, my comment was just a quick thought that wasn't very well fleshed out. I'm pretty certain I'm going to make this far worse with elaboration, but here we go! lol.
So for starters, the middle-aged thing was more a side note, but I will say that I've never really understood the mommy/daddy kinks. Maybe because I'm in my late 30's, so I'd have to be looking at someone who is 70+, and well, that's just not my jam. The bigger thing is the level of frothing that is going on over the chance to strip down an NPC. Like...this is really where it's at now? This is what gets your rocks off? I mean, sure, you do you....but really? This is what you choose to share with your gaming community?
Now, I'm assuming that most of the posts were just fluff, and that's all fine and dandy, but I think it hit a little too close to my actual opinion of the playerbase in general. I realize this is a gross generalization, but based on my experiences over the years, I've deemed the community to be rather cringe as a whole. lol. Between all the random /tells I've had over the years about my characters, those who have made anime & XIV their entire persona, people getting weird once they find out I'm female, and just the general chat you see in-game & online....it paints a questionable picture. Shoooot, almost forgot all the crap that gets posted in the NSFW channels of my discord groups. It's not even good stuff!
So there we go! I'm pretty sure this post will solidly put me in the camp of "old person angrily waiving their cane at the kids", but it is what it is. lol.
*All "you's" are general "you's"

Snip.
Local lala yells at cloud and kids.
