One thing I hate about my fandom is how fucking normalized p*dophilia is in the JP side. Like it’s not even “well actually their ages-“ no it’s fucking high schoolers with 30 years olds can you guys fucking die

Like I’m going to a convention in Japan and there’ll be doujin sold of a fourteen year old and an honest to god almost thirty year old. What the fuck is wrong with you people. Like I get sometimes ppl use this type of story to process trauma but these people are 100% fetishizing it and see nothing wrong with it (source: their art appeared on my feed and I wanted to vomit)

my take on this is that within anime, like attack on titan, demon slayer, jujutsu kaisen, etc. yeah in the show they’re 15-17, but these are fictional characters with adult traits and personalities. none of their way of being or interacting displays how a regular actual 15 yo acts, UNLESS it’s part of the plot/character development. that’s why it’s confusion on whether or not they are “attractive”. (1) they’re fictional and (2) they don’t act like a kid nor look like one

anime project called hypnosis microphone :( I love that most of the characters are adults bc usually anime casts are just teenagers but there are some JP fans that I just. No. It doesn’t help that there’s also a lot of fans into incest and I honest to god have seen art that’s p*do incest. It’s not even like the series pushes either of those things fans are just freaks 😭

sorry if I sound really judgmental but like pedophilia is where I draw the line between fiction not affecting reality. when done for fetishization (in this case) it’s no different than creating CP imo

shipping a 17 year old with a 20 year old is wildly different than shipping a 14 year old and a 30 year old

a 17 year old is still a minor. so instead, your analogy should be a 17 year old with a 30 year old vs a 14 year old with a 30 year old. which is both completely wrong. why’d you switch the ages, and what point are you trying to make?

the point is that they are both ships that are of a minor with an adult dumbass. both are not okay irl which in sure you agree with but i’m saying your point doesn’t universally apply.

you say “both are not okay” but then proceeded to say that there’s a “wildly difference”. if both are not okay, why mention the difference? are you sure you’re not the dumbass? besides, what did your point have ANYTHING to do with my initial comment? are you slow?

exactly. i don’t mind them feeling strongly about this because it is a sensitive topic, but people don’t know how to have discussions/debates without immediately resulting to insults. it just shows the immaturity on their part, so it doesn’t bother me.

Yeah I totally get that! in this anime it’s very much part of the plot and character development that the underage chars are underage and they very much act like 14 and 17 year olds. The maturity gap between them and adult characters is very much apparent (on purpose!) so it icks me out when people ship them with adults, never mind adults that are old enough to be their parents (and one that actually is their parent… let’s not get into that 😭)
