Apparently it's european fashion for kids
Yes but your telling me the other two boys get pants or normal sized shorts AND HIS ARE AN INCH UNDER HIS SHIRT??? Make it make sense babe
Boom it's uked perks
Try searching it online, this is what it says "Historically, boys used to wear shorts because it was considered a practical choice for young children due to their rapid growth, making it easier to replace clothes as they got bigger, and because shorts were seen as more suitable for active play, preventing torn knees from rough activities". . . And they have to wear those shorts until they reach 13.
You know Alois Trancy and Cielo Phantomhive from Black Butler? Notice their clothes? Yeah, that sorta kinda thing
? personally, i knew it was a historical fashion choice with functionality, hence why i didn't bat an eye over the shorts. giving you a bit of leeway for not knowing, but why are you making it such a big deal out of it? lowkey creepy af of you to connect it to anything mildly sexual/sexy. ik this is bl, but that's a child you're talking about. calm tf down and stop outing yourself
Well, in the raws that I read, the author showed all the design clothes for Jeoffrey it's designed to be cute and in match with his mother (the queen) while Edward's different and was designed to be more plain as he's being neglected. So yeah... I don't really have a problem with the outfit... just because this is BL and a child is wearing a short, you immediately linked it into something sexual... please, get over it... it's fashion, European fashion... haven't you worn a short when you were little??
You see they bring their boys up different
in those charming foreign ports
They play peculiar sports
In shiny shirts and tiny shorts
Gay or foreign fella?
If you could finish reading my comment you would see I wrote “COLD” cus that’s why I was stressing I didn’t find it sexual cus that’s freaked weird obvi I know they used to wear short shorts and in a lot of cases they wore dresses until they where like 5 years old. But it’s winter and it’s cold af where I live and looking at him in like some sort of coat while wearing those shorts I decided to make a joke no need to shake YOUR fears or whatever on to me
This is the only right answer
It’s a joke babe calm down. I made a joke cus I’m freezing while reading this and seeing him in shorts made me colder. Also I’m not stupid obviously I know they tried to make it somewhat historically accurate and if not it’s a manhwa I’m not expecting them to be completely accurate if the first things that pops into your head is I’m “suspicious” you have bigger things to worry about get a grip
thats a frantic excuse if i ever saw one you feel cold so you joked about a child's attire calling it "bootyshorts"? nasty sense of humor if that's actually the case.
and we all saw your second comment you clearly saw something we didnt GROSS AF
Listen if you can’t candle someone making a joke about a child probably being cold in shorts that short without concluding it was sexual I really think you should maybe take some time off this website and go to a therapist cus it’s fr not cool basically calling someone a pedo for a JOKE that you apparently didn’t get.
Get some help fr and I’m not gonna be answering any responses you have after this cus you probably aren’t even gonna believe me at all that’s just what people like you are like but i honestly don’t give a shit what you think I know I didn’t mean in sexual the people that got it got it
that's funny coming from you cz instead of just admitting you made a joke of poor taste, you just doubled down on how it's a joke and we should just be okay with it bcz it's a joke?
YOU get help cz joking about a child's attire is never okay, and i honestly couldn't care less if you meant it in a sexual way or not. what business does a grown adult have in describing a child's attire? could've just said it's short af instead of comparing it to a sexual attire worn by adults. tf is wrong with you?
and best you take this as a lesson to choose your words better next time instead of taking it as an attack, cz what you say will have people perceive you as such. good luck lol
Woah dude. Objectively it was okay for them to question the morality of such clothings since the internet is notorious for "shotas" and "lolis"
Pedo baits are right under our noses all the time. It could be culturally accurate but who knows if the culture back then wasnt also curated by pedos. Afterall right know theres hundreds of AI babies walking down a runway. No one thought they were creepy until the same creators straight up put them in lingerie. Theres ADS of babies shaking their diapers on ppls faces. Pedos can hide their fetish in plain sight. And thats just with real babies, who knows abt 2d ones...
Again not saying the author is a shotacon, just saying its not weird to assume everyone on the internet is a creep for following the common patterns creeps have taken...
so you're saying it's okay for this adult commenter to joke and compare a child's shorts to bootyshorts? also, that wasnt even the subject of op's comment. they literally just joked about a child attire looking like bootyshorts (a sexualized adult clothing) and that they felt cold looking at the child wearing it, that's all. you can even check their comments defending themselves and their joke lol.
and no one said anything about questioning the morality of such clothing. if you see a child getting sexualized like that, i heavily encourage judging and scrutinizing that, but as you can see, no child is being sexualized through clothing or whatnot in this manhwa.
as another commenter said, the author showed that the mc and his mother's clothing are made to look cute and match each other, so you can safely say they are NOT driven by pedophilic tendencies. if they were, the children would be wearing skimpy outfits and would certainly have closeup shots or questionable scenes showcasing sexual innuendos but there literally isnt any of that here. this is just a manhwa following a historical fashion trend.
and to add on that, literally NO ONE in the comment section have ever mentioned nor even thought of the mc's clothing to be explicit enough to warrant getting called bootyshorts cz that was never showcased or highlighted in any scene of the manhwa, so op commenting this kind of joke is HIGHLY alarming cz why would an adult even think of joking like that? that was what made me jump in the first place but op just defended themselves saying it was a joke and that they never meant it in any sexual way, as if that also isnt wrong for an adult to do in the first place
Ignore them. Those people are using the word ‘joke’ as an excuse to get away from being called pedophile, its painfully obvious that they saw it as explicit. They already outed themselves when they first got weirded out by the shorts (shorts, a common fashion trend since centuries and until now as explicit? So apparently kids are not allowed to wear shorts now according to them because first thing comes to their mind is explicit XD)
AYO?!?!?WHY DO THEY KEEP PUTTING THAT CHILD IN BOOTY SHORT JUST LOOKING AT HIM MAKES ME COLD
