Jesus christ, you keep acting like acknowledging the difference between fiction and reality means I’m “defending child sexualization,” which just isn’t true. There’s a big gap between exploring something in fiction and endorsing it in real life. I love shooter games and robbing people in-games but you don't see me shooting up schools or robbing stores.
People write and read dark or taboo stuff for tons of reasons, and most of the time it’s just imagination. If depicting something automatically meant supporting it, then half of movies, books, and history-based stories would be off-limits. Please be for fucking real lol
And fantasy isn’t the same as desire. People can think about or explore uncomfortable topics in fiction without wanting to do them in reality. That’s just basic psychology.
Pushing back on moral panic doesn’t “excuse pedophilia.” The word should stay focused on people who actually harm real kids. Throwing it at anyone who consumes or defends fictional stuff just waters it down and distracts from real abuse.
Are you for real? Lmao, being fictional doesn’t automatically make something good or bad either. Just because a story involves something disturbing doesn’t mean it’s “romanticizing” it. Fiction can explore dark topics without promoting them. That’s literally what art has always done.
How does a FICTIONAL story exist about an age gap encourage people to do it in real life. Most readers know the difference between fiction and reality.You don’t suddenly start committing crimes because of a manga, just like playing a violent game doesn’t make someone violent. The fact that you can't even get understand this example is honestly embarrassing.
Throwing a moral panic at fucking doodles or stories that make you uncomfortable doesn’t stop real-world harm. You guys are basically arguing about a sheet of paper. Why don't you go defend real children that are actually being abused.
Soooo you’re accusing me of “bringing a friend,” but didn’t you just tag your buddy in akumonzz? Lmao
And you do realize this is OP’s thread, right? Whether I know them or not doesn’t change the fact that your argument makes zero sense.
Sorry if we don’t share the same worldview, but maybe try understanding what fiction actually means before whining like a kid. I’ll even help you out go to dictionary.com and look it up. The word "fiction" has been there since the beginning of fucking time.
Fiction (noun): something feigned, invented, or imagined; a made-up story.
That’s it. It’s literally means made up. You’re out here moralizing over something that doesn’t exist. Maybe once you grasp that, maybe you'll stop crying and finally stop confusing fiction with reality.
The comments are being plagued by people crying about fiction and the age gap of a fucking doodle. They reek of new gen fujo my god
