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!

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.

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.

"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.

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.

And then there's Jojo.
