I agree that they're not the same but that doesn't mean that it's all good you know

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, c'mon, it's a little ridiculous that I'm supposed to stop finding an anime dude who legit looks like a 30 year old man and is voiced by a 45 year old man hot because most anime is about teens so he's a 16 year old boy.

[(Anonymous)]

Nearly of all it is out of the need to feel morally superior and manifestation petty fandom bullshit, not legitimate concern for children and the horrific abuse some of them face. Otherwise we'd be seeing ways to help those said children, not callout post number 7824 for this person I totally don't have a hateboner for.

[otakugal15]

Considering there have been some people who are SO hell bent on calling some people Pedos that they will anonymously send them links to actual child porn so they can call the police on them to "prove" that they are actual pedos...yeah. This shit is getting fucking stupid.

[(Anonymous)]

shakn so hard i cnt evn typ riite now im so triggrd

[diet_poison]

eh also I tend to of mentally age up a lot of fandom characters - tweens to teens and teens to young adults - not even for reasons of finding them attractive (some I do but not most) but because the characters are usually written in a way that's more mature than their actual age bracket, and often look more mature or if indeterminate age, and my brain just kind of does it tbh

[(Anonymous)]

ikr. I'm trying to think of the last time I saw a realistic depiction of a fictional teenager.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, I also tend to subconsciously view most young fandom characters as being my age range (twenties)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, a lot of my fandoms have characters who are "teenagers" but live independently and have adult jobs, and it would make no difference to the character whatsoever if the age the writers had slapped onto them was something in the 20's or higher.

[(Anonymous)]

That's a damn fine parrot picture.

[greghousesgf]

yeah, I like that parrot pic too

[(Anonymous)]

Regardless of canon ages I can't help but perceive teenage anime characters as my own age (20's). Especially in Japan where they are allergic to creating anime/video game characters above the age of 16 so they just have teenagers behave and look like adults in 90% of their content.

Characters who are aged 14 or younger are usually look and are portrayed more like actual kids.

[(Anonymous)]

This is about Voltron, isn't it?

[(Anonymous)]

Stop wasting your time on the cancerous shithole that is Tumblr, problem solved.

[(Anonymous)]

Mostly agree. If they're like 13 or under, I do side-eye real hard if I'm being honest.
But other then that...I don't really care. I usually mentally age up characters regardless while reading fic so smh.

Shut up

[(Anonymous)]

Child molesters don't see their victims as people either. Kids are objects for their pleasure.

No you

What the OP said was: "I don't register drawn humans who neither look nor act like kids the same as real people..."

Drawn humans. AKA characters found in media such as comics or animation. Who do not act anything like a real child or teenager.

The OP sees people as people, and 2D or CGI drawings as drawings. They're not dehumanizing actual people. Please read carefully before popping off.

Re: Shut up

[(Anonymous)]

CSA survivors get really fucking gaslit at being told fictional stuff is worse than what they went through. So happy little PSA's that everything is Pedo is really triggering.

Re: Shut up

[(Anonymous)]

Having what happened to me trivialized to score points in a stupid shipwar really pisses me off.

Re: Shut up

[(Anonymous)]

I've read some questionable things featuring animated or 2D characters. But the difference between me and them is that when I close out of the window, whatever is happening to them stops. It's over. This fictional character is whole and safe in a whole different window.

I only wish I had that option when I was younger.

-Signed, CSA survivor who's really fucking done with this bullshit.

[cyber_chaps]

The irony with the Tumblr discourse on what's considered problematic – in this case supporting underage ships or sexualizing underage characters – is when it comes coupled with threats and harassment of real people. Fictional kids don't need protection. Folks who harass creators and other fans over crap like this are a hundred times more embarrassing to me than any anime porn you can dig up.

I mean, you're allowed to find it off-putting without starting a damn crusade.

[(Anonymous)]

If you're not actually going out and hitting on real-life teenagers, what's the harm? Finding someone attractive and actually trying to hook up with them are two totally different things, anyway. I'm in my 30s and I can appreciate it when the college football team goes jogging shirtless past my windows. Doesn't mean I would be interested in making the moves on them, it just means I enjoy looking at buff shirtless dudes.

I wonder how this compares...

[(Anonymous)]

...to finding teens on live-action shows attractive when their actors are in their 20s (or even older).

I think as long as adults aren't acting inappropriately with any real-life underage people, it's fine.
