SAMEEEE ( ；∀；) the word 'pedo' has also been thrown around so much too
People can't come to grips that there are all kinds of builds for human beings.
Every time this shit happens I think of how that one female cosplayer had her girlfriend slandered 'cause she was a very short, very petite adult while her gf was about average height and currier.
Like, even my family members crack jokes about how all my siblings are taller than me when the youngest one is a 14 yo. And I can't even say that my boobs would give my age away 'cause my 14 yo sister has bigger boobs than I do.
I'm just very petite and take good care of my skin so I look much younger than my actual age.
I sympathize with you, but the difference in this is that you were born looking like this. This author CHOSE to make the mc look like a kid, and unless this is some sort of self insert, it's weird asf.
I can explain this easily; your characters DON'T have to reflect what you look like, and it doesn't disprove the fact that short, petite, young looking adults exist.
Hope this helps!
exactly ! ! !
their entire response is so backhanded "i sympathize with you" i just know they were saying that about your body instead of the people who make you feel weird about your body.
im a short flat chested woman with a baby face when i was in highschool i couldnt help but compare myself to other girls who were more developed i felt bad. as i got older i became comfortable in my body and grew to like it. now the only time i feel bad is when i go online on western media and people act like we are nasty and dont exist !
that person can acknowledge that people are born looking like this but they shouldnt be depicted or represented anywhere.
imagine if someone said this about a fat person "the problem is you were born looking like this but the author CHOSE to make them fat"
SAME- people still asked me if im 12 or 13- like-
Thats why i don't really mind bls where the characters or artstyles look cutesy or smthg
I'm not even flatchested and I feel bad about my appearance compared to others around my age. I'm the shortest out of all 9 of my siblings with the youngest being 14. People mistake me for a middle/high schooler constantly despite having a full time job during school hours.
I get accused of skipping school weekly when most of our customers have been seeing my face almost every day for 3 years now.
For me I honestly don't even care lol like, I've read so much shit and have been into anime for nearly 3 decades. Nothing shocks me anymore.
I'm just tired of people constantly screaming pedo-this pedo-that just 'cause one of the characters is short and young looking.
Like, in all honesty, if I could get top surgery like I want I'd basically be the protag of this series LOL
Unless you have a condition adults do not look like children no matter how short and petite you maybe. I don’t for a second you get mistaken for a child.
Yeah, I haven't gotten younger than 15 since I turned 30, but I have friends older and shorter than me ((I'm 5'0")) that I've actively watched get mistaken for a 13 yo.
The character in this manga doesn't look younger than 18 yet people are saying he looks like a child just 'cause what?? He's short and has a baby face?? He's probably a head taller than me, and yet it's OK for people to call him a child or accuse the mangaka of being a pedo?
Come tf off it lol
Unsure on if it's a condition but my health report says none. I think it's definitely genetics, lifestyle and habits. I haven't grown in height since 13-15? years old. Still 4'11" in height at college and if I don't dress my age and do makeup, people ask if I'm lost. Doesn't help im asian ಥ‿ಥ Oh and if you're wondering about the habits part, one thing is that I'm used to sleeping curled up so that's that.
Girl, felt this
Same tbh, got used to it since a lot of characs look young and the art style affects it too.
forgot to add that it's not just necessarily health condition, genetics, lifestyle and habits but also because a lot of the younger gen likes to mimic older people looks so it's easy to think that shorter people, especially baby faces, look young.
They're trying to refer to the medical condition where someone basically never goes through puberty due to a hormone imbalance.
But it's as you said. I have a skincare routine, wear sunscreen or foundation with spf, I've never smoked and I rarely ever drink. I don't do things typical of people from my generation ((I'm 31)) and I stopped growing in middle school lol
My nana is 4'10" and was mistaken for a child/preteen/teenager till she finally started showing signs of aging.
People just want to make everything weird, and honestly it's on them if they view a 5'6" college age twink as a child.
im sure you dont because your probably white or with european ancestry, it depends on genetics. im asian of course its not everybody but its not weird to see adults who can pass as a child
me too
( except for the sleeping curled up )
thats right !!
i didnt mention it because genetics is the main factor but lifestyle is also possible as an addition. especially sleep and skincare (人ᵕ ᵕ )
Yeah, 'cause I'm a pasty white-y but everyone in my family ages relatively slowly lol
All the women are also hella fucking short. My nana is 4'10" and shrinking. I'm 5'0" and my mom is 5'2" lol
It really does just boil down to genetics a lot of the time.
And I wish people would stop trying to dismiss those of us who voice that it's harmful to say the shit they do.
Making up these arguments that "adults don't look like children" when my entire 31 years of living have been nothing but people thinking I am much younger than I actually am.
I get asked what middle/high school I go to all the time at work. I've had people treat me like I was a child while running errands by myself asking me where my parents are.
My entire life-- even now-- I get called shit like "pedobait" 'cause mfers like ya'll can't get over the fact that some of us are just built different literally. I can't even date someone average height 'cause as soon as someone sees the difference between us it's "oh man, if I didn't know better I'd think you're a pedo dating a child."
Ya'll are so fucking miserable and need to get a fucking life.
