a little, but the reason that age is a problem in relationships is becuase of the power balance and thus, well, emotional abuse from the superior party. i feel like the reason that it’s so overlooked is becuase there isn’t a clear power imbalance in the relationship, so poeple don’t notice the toxisity
Honey. I meant how this is peodophilic. How did you bypass that and went straight to power struggle?
... The power dynamic in pedo relationships is one of the reasons pedophilia is bad
All of these statements are true, but this is also just fiction and porn, not even real porn, drawn porn, nobody was harmed in the making of it and i dont see how it could harm anyone
i’ll admit that i don’t have a good backround knowledge about this stuff. please correct me if anything i say is wrong or should be worded differently since i know this topic is sensitive and i don’t wanna offend anyone.
the reason i “bypassed” it is becuase you can’t label something as bad without reasoning. i understand that it’s bad (duh) but i wanted to point out WHY it’s bad. with my understanding, that is the reason that pedophila is a bad thing- the fact that someone naive, who cant know any better is being manipulated. that’s why i gave my reasoning.
rubbishshark is also right- this is just a work of fiction and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. while i do believe it’s bad that things like this are normalised in media, but that’s not something we can help, enjoying it isn’t a bad thing so long as what is fiction stays in fiction.
WHY ITS BAD? Do I seriously need to explain??? the definition of that word is sexual interest in pre-pubescent kids. That in itself should be reason enough to be disgusted and concerned. Are you not? Your comments and arguments are making it seem like the “power struggle” is a bigger deal than the concept of GROWN ADULTS having SEX with PRE-TEENS.
Of course power struggle is a big issue and kids can’t say no to an adult who is supposedly someone they trust or taking care of them...or someone who just straight up abuses them. They’re tiny. What can they do? THE COMMENT I MADE WASNT ABOUT POWERSTRUGGLE. THE POINT WAS ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND ARTIST WILLINGLY CREATING A MAIN CHARACTER TO BE PRE-PUBESCENT IN A VERY EXPLICIT SEXUAL COMIC. and you completely missed that point and decided to focus on power struggle?
“Oh you’re so hot and bothered by it, it’s only fiction.” I call bull. As if you haven’t taken a single analytical English class or a history class. Media in any form has influence on people whether you like it or not despite being “fictional.” Ratatouille is an example. tik tok users created an ENTIRE MUSICAL about it just because they were geeking out about this cartoon and were bored..even making money from it. You listen to news about covid and what precautions you must take because the news tells you how to protect yourself and how dangerous it actually is, Yet trump tweets stuff about covid not being real and LITERALLY MILLIONS of people follow suit.
People get inspirations and act on those inspirations because of these expressed materials, ideas, and intentions. There is literally an entire genre dedicated to “lolicons” and “shotacons” in hentai and yaoi fictional works and the following is an effect:
1. Normalizes the fetishizing of young bodies. (Like you overlooking, questioning, and not double taking on the morality of creating PRE PUBESCENT CHARACTERS ENGAGING IN SEXUAL ACTS.) then brushing is off as fictions just like you did and say “
And whether or not you should continue to think it’s okay for YOU to consume this kind of content.
Being different ages is fine...but would it have hurt the author to make the kid at least 18? And not be a damn 10 year old?
i’m sorry idk man lol
my point still stands
No it doesn’t. Not in this context that you’re clearly misunderstood. You’re a whack job and disgusting so just gtfo.
You’re also talking about age difference in your original comment. Sure. It’s valid If the goddamn character was over 18 or in the cusp of it making them an adult.
This character is in his god damn pre teens and the uke is literally thirsty for the seme and his d*ck. Talking about power struggle tf? So no. Your point is not valid in this context.
i’m not justifying this. i am aware that i don’t know much about the topic, so i am sorry.
i was trying to point out my reasoning as to why people were overlooking it, not trying to say why it’s okay xx
No one said it's okay and justifiable, no one said it's not toxic, you asked if anyone's concerned that seme looks like a pre-teen and that person tried to explain why most people in the comments aren't which doesn't even mean they share the same opinion as those people.They didn't ask you why pedophilia is bad, they obviously know. You're twisting people's words just to prove your point.
As far as I know, Eve's age isn't even confirmed in the comic, he might be over 18 and look like a teenager because of the abuse, it makes sense that people in his village would not feed him properly. He's also perfectly capable of defending himself physically. That's probably the reason people in the comments aren't that concerned about it. But does that make it justifiable? Not really.
You seem to think that seme being supposedly underage is the only problem. He's desperate for affection and easy to manipulate so even if he's over 18 that's grooming. If you're looking for lack of consent you can as well mention Eve sticking his dick in the guy when he was under the charming spell and wasn't in his right mind. Even if there wasn't an issue with the consent uke acts like a goddamn psychopath and seems to only like seme because of his powers so the relationship is hella toxic in the first place.
The problem with pedophilia isn't the idea of having sex with someone who has the body of a child. Yeah it's disgusting but it's not the main issue. Plenty of adults look like teenagers but they can still give consent, so what is the difference between those people and real teenagers? It's their ability to understand what they're getting into. Children can't. They're naive and defenseless, that's why it's wrong.
The sex keeps getting interrupted. Also. Is no one else concerned that the same is in his pre teens?
