(My english is not quite good) Okay there's something I need to get off my Chest, to start off, I'm an Asian girl who live in an Asian country so I don't know Western countries Rules and Laws are but I've been thinking, does Western People don't like Age Gap relationships, especially in Fictions? When I was scrolling through Tiktok, there's a Video of a GoYuu anime Ship from Jujutsu Kaisen and when I tried reading the comments, they're a lot of People hating it like they're cursing at it and even went as far as harassing others who liked the Ship, straight up calling them Pedophiles, when asked why, they said Yuuji is a Minor and Gojo is an adult and when some say it's just Fictions, they still won't back off and went on mocking them, I was surprised that they'd be so sensitive even in Fiction since then, I've been wondering about that, so tell me does Western People Hate Age Gap relationships to the point they don't even like it in Fictions? (Mind you, my country is like, if it's Fictional Drawings, don't care about it and I also have a Neighbour couple who have 15 years Age gap)
Please don't attack me, I just wanna know
so, how old are you?
19
age gap is fine as long as both are already adults.
Ohhh like that? So it's like, it's fine as long as you entered Puberty?
I think the main issue here is that one of the parties involved is a minor (ngl why'd anyone even ship THEM!?! )
plus they're student - teacher
i think its about the fact that yuji is 15-16 and gojo is almost 30(?). alot of western people are for age gaps(including me) and the only reason they see it as pedophilia is like you said, one is a minor, and one is an adult. the people who like it are considered proshippers ( people who dont care what you ship, like in*est, pedophilia, noncon stuff. ) another term is profic ( pro-fiction ) which i think means "this is fiction, i dont care, i like it."
Welp, GoYuu was actually a Top ship in Japan
Is Proshipping bad?
You're still a teen. It's like this: some adults don't like it when people ship those kinds of ships (minor x adult) because some teens forget to differentiate fiction from reality. Some teens also may not realize that they start to like those kinds of ships and might try to replicate them in real life since the stories can be so compelling and it's kinda bad. teens are easy to manipulate • ‿ ,•
That list is an atrocity
no, no. puberty is still in ages between 8-14. I would say it's fine as long as both are adults like 20s or something
please don't mind me please but is this what's happening in Western country? Like in America?
we aren't shocked, right? i mean japan do have a loli and shota genre
Hi!
I’m from south Europe and as we collectively see the situation we don’t really have that much of a problem.
A Real relationship between a minor(17yo) and one adult (21yo)… is totally normal from where I am from,
But some other wester countries are not ok with it
KEEP IN MIND that I am not saying that we are all good and don’t care if the minor is a kid, in that case it’s pedophilia but what I mean with this post is:
once it get close to 18 (it can be ok, from what I’ve been seeing from 16???17/18) and IF the minor in question is perfectly fine with it AND IF The adult in question is not over 30yo.The country from where I am from doesn’t really find it a problem.
To conclude, form what I’ve been seeing in my country :
It’s bad even in fictional if one part is a child and or looks like a child (example: the character may be 52739493 years old but really resemble a 9yo kid) BAD, ITS PEDO!!!
But is ok if the character can be an high schooler 16/17/18and the other part is a 20 something yo from university or a friend NO MORE THAN 30/35yo (if more then that’s gross)
Hope I made sense it not my first language and I didn’t offend my countri lol
not only in America, I'm from Asia too. It depends on your/their values and morals.
Ohh Okay Thank You for Answering me Sis
no biggie! ᕦʕ •ᴥ•ʔᕤ
Thank You so much for your Explanation, Sis! Little similar to my country but Thank you for that
Ah one more question, is Proshipping bad?
Like is it fine as long as you don't react to them nor do that in real life?
In my opinion, it would be bad if they're promoting and romanticize it.
it would be so insane seeing someone you know promoting and romanticizing ped0phil!a (‘◉⌓◉’)
No problem!!
It's just that my friends and me reads a lot of BLs (rarely) including age gap romance novel and manhwas too as we find the drawings and their Romance cute and all but what should I say, it's hard to explain but we never do those things in really life but only Fangirl over the drawings
ig it's fine, still if you feel like you sense something weird, you can touch some grass. lol ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Oh my dad used to tell me that, like go outside cause I'm always in my room with my phone just reading manhwas and novels doing nothing
It is, because it can affect your way of thinking. There was a lot of cases where people did atrocious things to their sibling because they were into “incest”. Would you rather take the risk of “its just fiction” with the possibility of having it affect their mindset? Can you really trust a lolicon because its not “real” and possibly actually becoming a pedophile? Because trust me its more common than you think.
What country is it?
Hi, Central Europe here and I would agree with STEWIE and Mbaremark. Age gap is fine as long as both are adults, so generally 18+. Below 18 for me it depends... If the minor is a high schooler, then it's fine as long as the age gap is small, so up to 5y diff preferable, ~10y max and of course no sex until the minor turns adult. If the minor is even younger, then for me (36yo) it's a child and I don't feel comfortable reading a work romanticizing children, feels gross.
I love age gap where both are adults, even if the diff is big, so things like:

Wouldn’t ask that here. Too many antis
Wow I haven't read them yet, but Thanks for recommending them, now I have some new BLs to read and it's a Manga instead of Manhwa
Pretty much imo
the last one is straight but it's fun to read ^^ and if you like the first one, then that author has a thing for older guys and she wrote a ton of other manga ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Thanks for that
Wdym what country
i'm from portugal so, south west europe and here generally if you're 17 it's fine to date someone older, but id day maybe 2-3 years max! once you're 18, age gaps are fine, unless they're really excessive right, because it's not like you suddenly become an adult just because you turn 18.
in general, people have a problem with that ship because yuuji is like 16 and gojo is 29, that's a 13 year old age gap. besides, yuuji is a minor and he's gojo's student
I guess we're living in different worlds after all
no problem! :)
Anime Fans here cause I need to ask, a Girl called me Delusional because I only think about Gojo and Geto as just BFFs nothing else, she also said that they're not just BFFs, they have feelings for each other, am I really Delusional like she said?
Nah they're the delusional one you can perceive Gojo and Geto as however you want as long as you don't force it into other ppl. If you see them as lovers then go ahead, if you see them as the best friends then theres nothing wrong w it.
I only see them as Best Friends, that's all and she just came and called me Delusional for it like the Hell is wrong with her saying they have feelings for each other in a Fantasy anime where Romance is not involved
Amd after she told me that, I was like what did I missed in Jujutsu Kaisen so here I am asking for answers
Personally they have heavy star crossed lovers vibe so I do absolutely agree that they were written to be seen in romantic light (especially considering Gege admitted to it and that he read BL as inspo for them) but I wouldn’t say delusional, just blind to the undertones?
Which isn’t an insult btw, if you aren’t exposed to BL or its representation in the media then obviously your mind would find the concept foreign and stick to safer route which is them being just friends with tragic end
Man they aint even canon, what are they on
Well I do love BL but I just don't see them as something but just Best Friends to each other
Same here honestly, i dont ship them but i dont diss on ppl who likes it. I don't hate the idea of the ship but nor am i like a super fan of it. Just so so
Ahem my reply got cut off. Ppl needa respect eachothers personal opinion. Not everyones gonna ship this and that
Yeah that's what I thought about it too, I enjoy the show as a Fantasy anime and yes some Ships of them exist and some people liked it but I don't care about it even if it exists just so so like you too
Which is perfectly understandable, but there also are heavy lgbt+ influence and undertones in his work and between the two, which cannot be denied considering Gege admitted to being a fan of BL mangaka whose story shares parallels with gojo and geto.
The girl phrased it badly but she isn’t completely wrong either. You don’t see them, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
Again, wouldn’t call it delusion but yeah
I'm just living my life and that random girl called me Delusional out of no where so
I understand your statements but as someone whos read duzons of posts about satosugu and their deep implications, i really cant seem to be yonow yonow, i feel just neutral ab it. Although i do see them as friends more but its not like i hate the idea of them as lovers its just that i just cant seem to get into that idea
Mgg needs to stop cutting off replied seriously..
Anyways
Even so at the end of the day it doesn't really matter, just enjoy the show and go on with life. The girl was too offensive w her words and shouldn't just go and call someone delusional just because someone can't see them as lovers.
Though i still do understand especially when the implications are so strong how could u not see them as more than that. But that's just how ppl are
Wtf who said that, did they watch jjk on reels
Which is fine, nobody is making you ship them.
There is simply difference between not seeing the signs and refusing to acknowledge them.
Personally I don’t understand why you would open the subject here instead of simply giving your opinion to her and discussing it further or at least asking here without creating a place where the girl would be openly criticised (even tho u seem upset that she did same thing to you? Which is ironic)
But back to subject, if you know about the “deep implications” but still don’t ship them that’s fine! But you also know they exist so like, why are you upset that she’s calling you out on you purposely ignoring them…
You are deliberately ignoring what author was trying to tell you, that might not be delusional but its smth
I'm now questioning what is JJK about because of those aggressive shippers
Also I don’t want to be mean, but OP this comment is precisely what I meant by “created a place where the girl will be insulted” so I hope you don’t think I’m just overreacting or smth, this was jsut my genuine attempt to understand both sides.
On your place I would also be sick and tired of being critiqued for shipping or not shipping something, tho I probably wouldn’t react the same.
Have a nice day!
Dunno what u mean by ignoring and calling me out, im not the OP here girlypop but thats besides the point. I understand your words and will very much take it to heart lol
Oh right I forgot to say this but about that girl who called me Delusional, I asked her if she's a SatoSugu shipper to clarify things but she said she's not even a SatoSugu shipper but she just knows that Gojo and Geto are meant to be together like WHAT? what the is she getting at?
Im not insulting any girl, i'm also girl . But in jjk i didn't even get a single hint about gojo and geto having for eachother.
But if you want to ship them do it. I dont care.
Do whatever you want. Ship them , imagine them having sex with each other, imagine having geto as a top f**king gojo. Doesn't matter, but you can't prove it through anime
Well sorry and have a nice day!
( Deeply apologies for my English its not my first language)
I think it can be taken either way. Some people may see romance others just bromance. Unless author confirms one way or another, nobody can ascertain anything.
I understand that, I was just living my life not caring even if they like SatoSugu, but that girl just came and said to me like that
Dracarys!
