Yes, pedophilia is sexual attraction to a minor. I have already addressed this in my comment but in order for it to labelled as such, it has to involve a real child. It’s honestly kind of degrading that anyone would compare something as insignificant as a comment wanting to “age these characters up”, to something as real and scary as pedophilia. I personally have not sexualised anyone in this manga and I didn’t want to start a debate in the comment section. Ofc, it’s valid to feel uncomfortable with the sexualising comments but it’s too much to label them as pedophiles when they’re talking about someone who doesn’t exist in real life. Pls reserve that term for the disgusting bastards that DO hurt real children.
I’m just saying but these are literally fictional characters. It’s quite offensive that anyone is comparing comments on a fictional character to something as traumatising as pedophilia… it’s just not the same and shouldn’t even be put on the same level.
The reason why pedophilia is illegal is because it’s freaking child abuse. It’s hurting a REAL child. While I do find the sexualisation of someone so young weird, it’s not like the top comment is hurting any real children so it’s so disturbing to see ppl call anyone “sick in the head” for the fictional content they like to consume. And no, this won’t “NoRMaliSe” anything bc a healthy brain is not that impressionable like come on, more than half of the BLs would never exist if our brain was THAT easily influenced. Anyway, I’m sure everyone here knows that such a relationship is wrong irl, no need to call ppl out and assert your “morality”. Let ppl enjoy taboo fictional content cause they’re not harming anyone. When we consume fictional content, it’s perceived entirely seperate from reality. Y’all have to start taking the word “pedophilia” seriously, don’t just throw it around like this….this is just my thoughts after seeing the comment section here
Although, this is a great wholesome story!! Thanks for the uploads
