Maybe in the manga's world he's an adult, but in our world he's not. We're the ones reading it and the ones receiving the message it's telling. People can try to defend it as "well in the manga's world..." til they're blue in the face but it'll never change the fact that the author decided to write that world that way.
I get your point, just remember that we are following just one man's route, we don't know what else people do, for example his grannies are farmers, not adventures so it means that there are a lot of options for people there.
Also, take in fact Earth's history, back in time when there were a lot of ills and things like that, having a child younger helped to maintain the population, now we are over populated, but you can think that they are in the same issue... and if you are going to point the fact that magic can help a lot, just remember that humans are weak, also Karna has been stated a lot of times that he is a great exception, I suppose that the way he can heal an Injury or sickness ain't that common, that's why they need to be younger to became adults.
So, if you are going to use ti XXI century thinking in a manga, well... you have a kind of an issue too... bc that's just fantasy, not reality... it's like believing that Tom Holland's spiderman shouldn't be doing his heroics works bc he is a teenager...
(im going to be mainly talking about the last part) in tom holland’s case,, yeah, kind of. teenagers are supposed to be growing and experiencing things, not being put in life-threatening dangers. im not saying that he SHOULDNT do heroic things because he can, but keep in mind that hes a teen. he was given a power that he didnt want, and was somewhat forced to be labeled as a hero. there are so many challenges, but he shouldnt have to do all of this because he was unlucky enough to be bitten by a spider. he can be a hero all he wants but when he wants to stop and there’s danger, dont hold it against him as it isnt his fault. and with the other things, its a literally what, 13 ? year old kid. i really doubt that him calling himself the exception justifies an old lady hitting in him and eanting to marry and possibly breed with him. age doesnt really matter if youre OF AGE but i think both that manga and us as readers should know thats not exactly what they meant. i mean at this point its whatever bc its not like me complaining would get me anywhere, but i still find it strange.(づ￣ ³￣)づ
I'd argue that in the case of spider-man that him being a teenager and a super hero is one of the major points that the series explores. You get to see peter struggle with being both and how it's positively and negatively impacting his life. You don't walk out of the theater thinking "Wow, peter has a perfect life. I wish I was him", you walk out thinking "Wow, teenage struggles with the added responsibility running around and saving your friends from people that are trying to hurt them to hurt you? No thanks." It's not trying to say being a teen superhero is right or wrong. It's exploring the concept and showing a reality of what it might be like if it did happen.
I'm pretty sure this story isn't going explore the concept of a 13 year old getting groomed by a sex-demon. It's going to make it look sexy and skip out on all the creepy bits. That's what I have a problem with.
see but superhero movies are never really that accurate in that sense but thats another debate. and yeah i guess i agree with that, i just still fond the concept weird
hahahahahahahaha sorry... it just makes me laugh how we off-topic this thing... it was good to read btw...
yes in that manga you become an adult at 13 but so friggen what ????? that still doesn’t excuse the fact that an old woman (she’s over 1000 yes old i believe) is lusting over a teenager. and even if he was reincarnated i’m not sure how that justifies pedophilia bc the woman is being pedophilic, listing over a 13 yt old or not. do you really think in that world it’s common to have a child as soon as you turn an adult or get married? no. it’s saying that they ARE an adult, but it’s not saying you should get married or have children. home guy wouldn’t even be developed enough or have enough mental control to even seriously think about what the girl is saying and she knows that.
