Yeah it’s not like the dude sexualizing her for being young and being like “ohhh she’s a child and she do kid things~” so like to me I don’t see him liking her weird and besides this is just a book so I don’t care
See age gap relationship is okayed in asia to the point it leads to abusive relationship... Normalize pedophilia is a problem that led to many age gap social evils like sati, rape of a child bride (it's not rap if they are narried is what goes through)... Age Gap romance is okay when both are at an age of consent (adult) a 15 year high schooler is never considered an adult.
Uhm. Not all leads to abusive and pedophilia. Generalizing just because there are who experienced it is not okay. Like what i have said there some rights which people follows it because of its part of culture. Obviously theres no sexualizing happening in the story. And japan has its own beliefs and culture. Pushing your ideas to their culture is not right. Like what i’ve said thinking of age gap as pedophilia is also got its influenced to the society you are belong.
16 being an marriageable age but 20 is age of adulthood
Bruh, so you're saying grown ass men pursuing children in high school is ok in Asia. It doesn't take cultural differences to see that it's wrong. So what's your take on young girls forced into marriage as early as 8 years old? Do you thumbs that up because it's part of people's culture? What about girls who get their private parts mutilated for their coming of age? You're ok with that because it's a cultural thing. Age gaps between adults is ok, nobody's business. However, an age gap between an adult and child is NOT OK! That is pedophilia, and pedophilia doesn't always include sex - it also involves romantically grooming a child like we see in this story!
Im sorry to say this, but most of asian countries, age gap is considered okay as long as right time and process will do. Fixed marriage is also part of many asian countries. I just felt offended when you call amakusa or whatever his name pedophile when we, asians, have a good history of age gap relationships. Please stop comparing or pushing your pedophilia idea just becauSe your country is full of it. Every country has its own culture and beliefs. Stop telling this is pedophilia just because of the story setup. Next time how about research first the country before commenting shts? You are all annoying
