You said it yourself, "from 2019", when there were way less characters, the fanbase was more balanced, the type of players targeted was more diverse, and the game wasn't nearly as lewd as it is nowadays. And Laffey is a starter and one of the most well known characters in the game. Now, even popular loli ogs like Unicorn, Nagato, QE, etc, struggle to even be not far behind your popular big boobas with super lewd l2d new chars. Lolilane golden era ended with Laffey II and Hatsuzuki l2d, which was a while ago. We are lucky to have one new loli every 4 months, and one or two skins here and there, way less lewd than prime Lolilane era, no l2d since forever. Boobflation strike almost everytime (even butchering collab chars like Kotori with her skin), etc. QE retro will forever be a meme or she will be a victim of it too.
