“He/she is stated to be xx years old” is the same argument discord mod made about their waifu. Drawing a person with childish features in a story is problematic and caters to people who like consuming pedophilic content periodt.
And if the character is portrayed like a child, has childlike features, act like a child and then it makes no difference whatsoever if the author states their age as xx years old. You think people who like reading this kind of stuff care about their age?
While I agree that if they look and act like a kid, they are a kid, I dont rlly see where he was childish tbh. But then again, the translation seemed a bit off, so I didnt read it properly to notice stuff and was mostly skimming and dynamic reading
But ye. Tell me which parts of the chapter he displayed actions akin to that of a child
i'm sorry to break it to you but a LOT of this authors other works are tagged with shota so it's safe to say that's what they were going for in this story as well
do not sit here defending this work or this author because the shit they draw only appeals to the mentally ill
Yessss! People on this web will defend pedophilia and it’s not surprising to me. But it just pisses me off so bad when the uke is buff and they deem this kind of yaoi “different” “not stereotypical” like it’s a healthy yaoi that contributes to the view of gay relationship. There are tons of like ukes bigger than seme yaoi that is done well
I am not defending what this author in specific is doing and I didnt even get an answer as to how mc remotely acts childish. So far, he seemed p reasonable as a young adult.
All I said is that, forget that it is about the author per se, as someone who identifies with characters with baby faces and petite build, I honestly dont know why they are seen as children even tho they act like normal young adults. That is it. You are the ones making up your own fantasiws about someone defsnding the author to play white knight.
I am still waiting for your reply on where the uke acts like a kid, but since you refuse to elaborate and puts the author in front of your discourse even tho I never knew the author did shota stuff and I am not even defending them, just petite ukes in general since I can identify with them if they are reasonable young adults, I am willing to think you are just playing white knight for nothing. Props to you ig, but not answering my question doesnt help your case.
listen person, my first comment was very clear - people that find this shit appealing are mentally ill and should seek immediate help. if you cannot discern that this is in fact a kid in the story you are mentally unwell and should revaluate your life
ch 1 page 13 very first panel, the dragon guy refers to the mc as "infant" - case in point
you can sit here all day doing mental gymnastics on how this is "just a petite and baby faced guy" when anyone who is sane can clearly see what this manga is trying to portray
neither me or the other person in this thread need to explain to you why the mc is not an adult, it is VERY clear. i will reiterate again - if you cannot discern that this is in fact a kid in the story you are mentally unwell
this is now muted as further elaboration is not needed and i do not feel like debating a weirdo, hope you get well soon
So you didnt even see my other comment where I said I might have skimmed past it and automatically decided to call me mentally unwell even tho I did ask about where it was it. Such a big person, wow.
If you said that from the beginning, it might have been way better of a conversation smh
Plus, I did say i asked it because the only explanation I saw from the comments was how petite = kid, which isnt true
... where is he a kid? I might have missed it if he stated that explicitely, but as someone with same build (petite and baby face to the point I am often mistaken as a 14 y/o even tho I am over 20), I feel weird ppl keep saying petite = kid...
