Me in a Nutshell:

It would look like incest and age gap yaoi which thats what it is nothing he did with him when he was a child looked predatory even without context. I'd argue that he literally looks like the average uke, he looks like an adult to me especially when you see him grow older. Even if he was a teenager, thats a different philia... pedophilia is pre pubescent children like ive said. The two are evil but one is babies and toddlers man...

Context is also important, if you were to draw a murder and say thats not what is happening in the scene and gave me the context of it, for example, being a dream in the story, it would literally make sense? I feel like you cant capture a specific small age range with anime artstyle anyway especially with feminine presenting characters

I dont think pedophiles read this either dude they look at real CSAM the worst type of person youd find that reads this is probably someone who likes fictional incest and age gaps. Besides, every one of these stories are toxic and taboo. This kind of just screams "I can stand kidnapping and murder but i draw the line at age gaps and stepcest!" its all fiction anyways just dont read what you dont like and block all that makes you uncomfortable. You are in control of who you interact with and what you consume, if you have this image of me or other readers in your head being a pedophile then just block us If you genuinely think enjoying this is predatory then whatever man, see me as a predator and block me. Ive learned not to care because im secure in my morals and my likes in fiction. Lots of women enjoy the cliche idea of a billionaire mafia man falling in love with them, would majority ever like those dark romance stories happening to them irl? No! If this story was real i wouldnt support it

Do you ever get tired of vaulting around the point and doing mental gymnastics? Youve said it looks like age gap and incest, like yeah, thats what im saying fella. it's a substantial age gap, and don't pretend pedophilia hasn't become a modern day umbrella term for lusting after anyone under the age of 18 as an adult, not to mention yaoi ukes tend to look like children either way so that really doesn't aid your point. And how he looks is inconsequential if you add up how he acts too (like a kid) and yes pedophiles will read this bro it cannot be that hard to comprehend, it obviously isnt easy to get your hands on that type of content, and pedophilia most times isn't something you choose, and a lot are morally distressed by the way they are, and so will obviously turn to heavily implied adult on child instead of the actual thing because "it isn't wrong, the author said theyre of age. Oh and also it's fiction. Oh and also everyone else is a snowflake it's just a story, so actually Im not in the wrong and I don't have to reflect on my subconscious desires, which may evolve into conscious desires I project onto real kids. But it doesn't matter cos blablabla fiction lol!" Ive also explained why its easier to understand horror, and even then I don't trust people that don't flinch at gruesome crimes. I tend to avoid toxic stories, or read them and not take them seriously, so idk if ur implying I read murder and kidnapping or idc if people read it but either way.

I'm gonna say it now cos i feel like you're defending the wrong thing here, I'm not attacking anyone for reading this stuff, it grosses me out but I'm not a saint and I can't police what people enjoy. If I was gonna do that I'd have commented attacking the readers. Ive only ever done that once on the worst most pedophile infested manga ive ever seen (evelogias world). What I'm attacking is when people defend this story, because I want the people that read stuff like that to see hate comments and reevaluate their morals. Being surrounded by an internet wall of people mindlessly defending their fetish will obviously encourage the fetish, and if you're an actual pedophile who can't control it, I doubt the validation of people who defend this stuff will help your impulses like at all. Thats my problem, and that's why I dont just block and scroll, but it's also the reason I don't comment my own hate. Just reply to others. At the end of the day Im mainly encouraging free speech so people see conflicting opinions on the stuff they consume and actually think twice before consuming it, instead of just a one sided wall of defense.
