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.

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.

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.
