Doesnt matter the maturity if the legal age of consent is 16, I’m just talking about that part where you said pedophilia but it isn’t. Here in USA yes definitely.
As for the consent, maturity doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it was done to him without his consent.
I think Japan got a thing for younger people haha…
they always make high school girls has giant boobs and yeah. Creepy and sexualized.
No I’m saying the law doesn’t give a damn if you’re mature or not. Let’s say a kid who’s 16 drives a car, but he’s not mature enough to drive one, but law doesn’t care as long as he doesn’t kill someone?
So while 16 year olds can be immature, it doesn’t do anything to the fact that the legal age of being able to have intercourse or driving is 16.
Many teens have sex nowadays, you can’t control that. It’s really up to their upbringing and sexual education.
Maybe I'm just being oversensitive over this.. I am a victim of pedophilia and grooming. This is why I just get the ick whenever people try to excuse it with "but the age of consent is-".. I just hope the normalization of things like this on modern fictional illustrated media is stopped. Have a nice day.
Pedophilia is a sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. It is not the same as an attraction to teenagers, known as hephebophilia.
16 is much older than 13. Regarding your claim on maturity, adults can also be immature, should they not have sex?
The definition of pedophilia can vary depending on the place. In Japan, the law do not have the same thinking as you nor definition so yours don’t apply there and mine as well. Morally too, not saying all Japanese agree to it, but it’s not a crime to be attracted to someone who’s legal of age to be in a relationship and sexually.
Not trying to excuse pedophilia but really, it’s the law, and that age of consent doesn’t make them a pedophile. You may be in a different country and age of consent as well as from your experience, you think differently and react differently so I don’t blame you.
Sorry you went though that, that isn’t something to recover from easily. I know because my older sister was a victim of multiple rape and pedophilia from my older cousin. And our age of consent here is 18.
Chapter 6, page 24, Gaku kissed Sumito, who was still a child (evidenced by the Sho calling him a "human child"at the time). That would be innocent if they're both actual children but Gaku is a GROWN MAN who knows what he's doing and knows what that means. It may not be explicitly said, but it doesn't take a genius to see that Gaku's harboring romantic feelings for Sumito even when Sumito's still a child. Still don't think that's pedophilia?
Grown ass man in the past? if you re read you can clearly see that they’re both around the same age and size in chapter 2 at the beginning. It doesn’t mention anywhere that he’s much older than the uke.
Also if you KEEP READING, you can see that the next in-line crow demon seme states: “it’s already been decided that I’ll become the head of the family after I graduate high school”.
So no he’s still in high school, not a grown man.
And Gaku was referred to as a “kid” by the demon clan. You can’t apply your morals and expect it to be the same when it comes to DEMONS. Demons and Humans life span aren’t the same, just calling it pedophilia is vague and not clear.
Gaku is seen as a kid by the demon clan because…he is compared to how long the demon life span is. I don’t condone the sexual assault but applying our morals here is funny.
Weren't you all about the law and the age of consent when you were arguing with the other person to be able to call it pedophilia? And now suddenly pedophilia is "vague and not clear", now you try to bring the difference in life spans into consideration. Which, by the way, doesn't excuse the GAP in life experiences and maturity. I don't know why you're so hell-bent on excusing this type pf shit but I do hope no parents will leave their children around you. I'm not replying to you after this. Get the fuck out of my replies.
That’s because I realized later how ridiculous it is to be applying our own morals against another species who’s not even human.
It’s not just the difference in life spans, it’s also their differences in life/civilization. You act like the seme is also mature, when he really isn’t. Both of them aren’t mature, but yeah sure only the MC is immature.
No need to curse, it’s not helping. I’m not excusing pedophilia, my whole point is that this isn’t pedophilia. Again, we can’t apply human logic/morals to demon.
I didn’t say pedophilia is vague and not clear, I’m talking about your definition of pedophilia and calling it just straight up pedophilia is ridiculous considering this isn’t the same as reality/human morals.
I know right? I wasn't even gonna reply anymore. But boy are they so focused on trying to excuse such actions. And the excuse "but different species different morals" isn't a human involved in this situation? By proxy our morals apply too. Honestly it's so weird by just the fact they even try to dismiss it's pedophilia like nature of the manga.
So the main story is pedophilia and it wasn't finished. The 2nd story is incest with the author redeeming the rapist in his death. I just. Why.
