The current fannish "everything is pedo" culture has got so many people messed up. :'(

Some people just feel uncomfortable with that kinda thing

[(Anonymous)]

You feel uncomfortable because the fannish culture made you feel that way. I'm old, and trust me, nobody batted an eye at themselves or anyone else for writing explicit porn of teenage or sometimes even younger characters and talking about how hot it was.

Also of note is that nobody did this with teenage characters played by real life teenage actors as far as I know, because that would involve actual minors and that's very different, a distinction this same current fannish culture has taught us not to make.

Well, I'm old, and I batted plenty an eye over it. I didn't judge. But I didn't partake, because fantasizing about characters that young makes me uncomfortable. And trust me, that's not a rare sentiment.

Also, it's funny you should say that "fannish culture" made me feel uncomfortable with sexualizing fictional minors, because fannish culture has actually made me (and most fen I know) far more comfortable with just about every kind of fictional kink imaginable. So I think you might need to redo your math on that one.

Dude, you're reading way too much into this. Finding images of underage characters (who actually look underage) attractive is just uncomfortable for some people. This isn't that complicated, and it isn't that dire.

[(Anonymous)]

It may not turn dire for most people, but it's an unhealthy mindset to have yourself in. You don't need to train yourself out of it if you don't think it's that big a deal, but the bigger picture is the fact that it's unfortunate that fandom has, through misinformation and pedo-scare tactics, taught a generation to feel guilt and discomfort over something harmless.

[(Anonymous)]

People have felt uncomfortable over that for years, it's not a new thing at all by any means, but I can see how insular fandom communities back then would trick you into thinking otherwise since all like-minded people would crowd together and those of us really not into it didn't join in.

Fandom has nothing to do with it. This is such a weird take to me. Like, do you not have any people in your meatspace life that you talk to about fiction? Because fandom is, if anything, overwhelmingly more open to the ethically neutrality of stuff like this than greater society is. I live in a comparatively left-leaning country, in a very left-leaning city, surrounded by extremely open-minded, left-leaning friends and family, and every single one of them would be uncomfortable with the sexualizing of fictional minors. Not "anybody who does it is a Bad Person" uncomfortable. Just, uncomfortable. And that's completely okay and completely normal.

If the reason that everyone you know would be uncomfortable with sexualizing a non-photorealistic drawing of the top third of a character in a novel is because it’s unclear from the drawing how old the character is, then you live in a very strange place.

They live on twitter and everyone they know is a fandom friend. Fandom is their entire world.
