Why is pedophilla normalized so much in shoujo manga?

You might want to check what pedophila is, cuz this ain’t it. She’s already 16, she has gone through puberty (or still does). Pedophilia is when an adult (16+) is attracted to a CHILD that hasn’t started puberty yet and is at least five years older than him or her. Not every age gap counts as pedophilia. Maybe illegal if they perform a sexual act, depends on the country.

You might want to check this. You can check other sources as well. I know that it’s confusing because the definition of pedophilia got messed up over the years. Pedophila has EVERYTHING to do with puberty, and not necessarily with age.

I’m not defending it, I’m just trying to explain to you that you stated is wrong in this case.
Besides, who am I and who are you to judge? If people are happy together, they should just stay together. It’s a beautiful thing that people of different ages can find things in common and enjoy each other’s company and affection. If you don’t like it please don’t say it in an offensive way. There are people who live in such reality and with even bigger age gaps.

I get what you are saying and do avoid most manga that do this BUT in this manga I kind of ignore it because #1 they really dont do anything other than spend time together. #2 what little that has been done she instigates and he is horrified by. #3 shes not a meak weak head over heals in love puppy dog, she is very much in control of the relationship so it doesnt feel like hes some creepy 26 year old predator.

thats exactly what ive been saying... this shit is normalized so much a fucking kid shouldn't be with an almost 30 year old man thats fucking nasty.. the people who are okay with it are part of the problem. a 16 year old is a child. it doesn't matter if she's okay with it and likes him... its still wrong. this is present in yaoi as well and its equally disgusting but no one points it out because of the large amount of fujoshis that exist on this site that are only looking for their weird fetishy boy x boy content. people point that shit out and we get called out for it precisely because of what the people above said. they excuse it whenever they want to. periodt

Also you guys keep sayin that she should just save herself instead of waiting for help . What the hell is wrong with you guys!?? She's mentally and physically weak at this time how tf she gonna save herself when it's her against everyone in that castle. I'm all for a strong heroine but y'all can't be unrealistic al the time. She's not always going to be "strong" she literally got sexually harassed and y'all expect her to be all up and ready to escape. Grow up guys :/

Omaygashhh finalllyyy , someone said it,..
Im honestly so tired of people putting all the blame and fault to her,.. just because theyre impatient
Like i be sayin this but, why would the author like even put her in that kind of situation and if she can save herself anyways,.. like.. whats the use of the brain u guys?

For ppl that are hating on am emma: she's naive af and it's not her fault. For most of her life she never believed in anything you could say "evil" , everything that did happen was very abrupt but that doesn't make the naive attitude go away
For ppl hating on Norman: a lot of the demons eat just for the kill not for actually eating them. With war it's either all or none
It's survival mode

This is the first time of hated a main character so much
Like he literally doesn't give a shit about anyone but his dad
Taehyun deserves better and I hope the dad gets his revenge

I completely agree with you! I have been annoyed at MC's for being stupid or indecisive but I have never actually truly disliked an MC before. I honestly don't care what happens to his hateful, selfish, petty ass. I'm gonna be pissed if Daddy falls for him. In fact I'd love for Daddy to end up with the guy obsessed with the MC right now
Saw some spoilers and I hope that this doesn't end up like a typical yaoi. I hope azusa doesn't end up falling in love with karino. Like all the suffering and build up just for that to happen would be disappointing
Then I guess you should start preparing for disappointment because I can already see an ending like that ( ̄∇ ̄")
This is exactly the direction it's going
I dunno. It would be way too ooc if azusa fell in love as things are, but if Karino changes I could suspend disbelief since yaoi will be yaoi...
