Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Sometimes a male character can be well into his legal-adult years and I still find it jarring if he's referred to as a man. It's age-dependent to some extent (most characters in their early 20s are still boys or guys in my mind), but it also depends on how the character is presented—i.e. maturity, comportment, responsibilities, etc. There are even characters in their late 20s that my brain doesn't think of as men (Mike from S1 of Suits as an example).

For the record, this isn't some sneaky, "That 25yo is child-coded" anti bullshit. One of my OTPs is aged 18/48. Every single time I see the 18yo character referred to as a man, my brain goes, "Ma'am, that is a boy."

Also for the record, I love and respect "boy" characters just as deeply as "man" characters. (I also tend to relate to them more, which is a whole other can of worms, but yeah.)
