I mean, depending on the universe's rules on species and aging, she could be.

And obviously I don't want to judge the presence of something in fiction, but I feel like there's a lot more wrong with that picture than the possibility that someone is lying about her age.

I have to admit that I have always found it weird when people just seem to automatically assume that a non-human species ages at the same rate that humans do, because why would that be the case?

[(Anonymous)]

so my question then becomes, why did the person who wrote this decide that these non-humans-who-look-just-like-humans need to age in such a way that the 12 year old has the body of an adult woman? what purpose does this serve?

Ooooh, this kind of puts into words a thought I've had before. I remember a time when someone brought attention to a questionable detail of some fictional world, and people were hardcore defending it with, "Well, that's just how it works in that universe. That's just how it is." Ok, but WHY does it work like that, in that universe? You do realize it's fiction, right? This isn't a documentary, a human living in our world invented all this and came up with all the lore and shit. What was that human's reason for why it works that way? I can't even remember what media it was or exactly what the questionable detail was, but I DO remember that it had to do with weird treatment of women.

Yeah, I have felt this way before too! Not even necessarily with icky or questionable stuff, but just in general. When someone wants to defend something in fiction that's kind of nonsensical or stupid or whatever. And they just insist that it has to be that way, because that's how it works in that lore. ???? Like the author made it up! They could have made it up differently!

[(Anonymous)]

yep, because the real question is "why is it only female characters who are Like This in your lore?" and the answer is probably going to be gross. it's never a male character who's 12 but looks 30 whether bara or twink.

[(Anonymous)]

you definitely see it the other way around with male characters a lot, though. by that i mean male characters who look very young but are in fact adults.

[(Anonymous)]

"it's never a male character who's 12 but looks 30 whether bara or twink."

... literally every male character in shounen manga? Like, come on, the teenage guys in My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen do NOT look 14-16 like they're supposed to be.

[(Anonymous)]

never seen those manga, my experience with shonen is Yusuke "I'm 14 but look 15" kinds of shonen. maybe I'm old but even the teens in Bleach at least looked like older teens, not adults.

[(Anonymous)]

And then there's Jojo.

Some people are so hell bent on defending this type of shit under some bizarre notion that we're looking at a real culture and not a fictional thing that is completely made up and that the person who made it up did not in fact need to have 12 year olds look like adult women, but did anyway.

She’s human.
