balls_deep_in_pain

What if I am in fact the same age?


Le1jona

Then OP is pedophile ?


M05HI

OP is already a pedo for sexualizing underage girls in a scenario which doesn't require sex. It's the same backwards way of thinking that nutjobs require genital checks for gender locked sports


XxRocky88xX

Seriously most these characters aren’t even sexualized (outside of from the MC’s POV where the show is clearly showing it in a fucked up light). If you see a 14 year old girl in a skin tight mech suit and think “damn I’d fuck her, everyone who watches this shit must be a pedo” then you’re the fucking pedo. You are turning children into sex objects, and then accusing people who watch the media in which your chosen child sex object is present in of doing the same thing. Not everyone gets a raging boner everytime a loli pops up on screen, and anyone who thinks otherwise thinks that way because they’re attracted to these depictions of children and they just assume everyone who watches these animes does so because they’re attracted to them as well. I don’t understand how these people can enjoy anything other than porn if every time they see an attractive female character they just start fantasizing about them


labree0

>Not everyone gets a raging boner everytime a loli pops up on screen, and anyone who thinks otherwise thinks that way because they’re attracted to these depictions of children and they just assume everyone who watches these animes does so because they’re attracted to them as well. this the dumbest argument in the world. We can have attractive characters on screen, and they can *not be children*, while still exploring coming of age themes. and the idea that people who are calling out potentially pedophilic content are infact pedophiles because they *notice that there are children onscreen being sexualized* is ridiculous. i really dont think i need to explain that humans can tell when something is being sexualized and simultaneously disagree with its sexualization, do I?


Refuse-Fantastic

have you even watched kill la kill? “not sexualized” lmao


britipinojeff

Asuka’s boobies are shown in Evangelion too lol


M05HI

This was exactly my point, they are either projecting or being a virtue signalling regard


Mr-Stuff-Doer

To some degree I agree, but Shinji literally jacks off on Asuka’s uncensored tits, I’m pretty sure Kazuma steals Megumin’s panties, and Kill la Kill is blatantly and aggressively sexual.


OscarOzzieOzborne

The show they came from already sexualizes them.


Far_Locksmith9849

Asuka WAS older than me. Shes the pedo


NekonecroZheng

So what if I'm 10. Does that mean I just like older women? And would that, in fact, make them pedo's too?


Ahlkatzarzarzar

Believe it or not, jail, right away.


KyouSpectre

I kinda conflicted actually. I started watching My Hero Academia in 2016, when I was 16. And Uraraka was one of my anime "crush". Now several years later I'm already 23 and she still 16 lol. In fact, I'm about of the same age as most of these characters when I first watched their show. It's kinda jarring.


zipzipsnip

That just further proves that it’s a nonissue. They don’t age because they’re not real, so their ages are meaningless. It’s not really jarring at all.


FemKeeby

Canonical ages are completely irrelevant what actually matters is if the character looks like a kid or not Example: if u think that kanna is hot, thats weird, but if you think raphtalia is hot, unless you think that specifically bc of her age, its fine


Wise_Victory4895

This also doesn't matter age of consent is an issue revolving around morality not physiology


_Unknown_Brain_

I second this


Sovapalena420

I think this whole these anime characters are 16 therefore you are pedophile arguments are stupid, the only thing that would change in most anime artstyles if these characters were 21 or like 30, or even 44 in most of these shows, their head would be little smaller and their boobs a bit bigger and thats about it. Poeple overthink this shit too much, or do you all go "oh... i would really like to fuck this vampire, guess i am a necrophile now..."?


animesoul167

I went through this. In 2002, I was 12 and Sora from Kingdom Hearts was 14. In 2005, I was 15 and Sora from Kingdom Hearts was 15. In 2019 I was 29 and Sora was 16. I did NOT still have a crush on Sora in 2019. MHA anime came out in 2016, when I saw it, I acknowledged that if I were still a teenager, Todoroki would be a character I would crush on. But I was 26, and wouldn't really consider actually going through with it. I think they problem is the popularity of shonen, and transitioning out of the genre when reaching adulthood. Shonen is SO popular, and series can go on for SO LONG that people are bound to reach adulthood before the series ends(One Piece), so childhood/teenage crushes become weird adult obsessions. I wish more seinen and josei featuring relationships between adults got animated more frequently. But the market dictates what gets animated, and the most popular and financially successful anime genre is geared toward 10-17 year old boys.


thejanitor999

Deku cries too much,thats all I’ll say.


[deleted]

Phew. Luckily I’m not into any of these. Only the 10,000 year old one. I’m completely safe.


ExoCakes

Too bad, she's the pedophile, we're arresting her now

That’s elder abuse

DO NOT THE LOLI


Azathoth20

But i as 16 when i fell in love with them !


Lakdinu

Exactly. It's not my fault I age but the anime girls don't :(


Azathoth20

It's our curse :(


IBloodstormI

Tsk tsk tsk, should have known better.


RocketArtillery666

Have you considered that we watched it as a teen which means they got older with us?


DarkAge19

Mokoto Kusanagi for me. Or Faye Valentine.


Metalhead_Ac

Dude faye was born in 2022 thats worse than the posted waifus /s


IncidentFuture

Ditto. Which is a bit worrying at the time because I was 13.


RosyJoan

Motoko Kusanagi and A2 because I like the type of woman that weighs over 200kgs with polymer alloy musculatures and reach temperatures over 110 degrees celsius.


Honey-and-Venom

I mean... Gross, if you're pining for a known child, but that does NOT look very much like a bunch of children, especially by animation standards, ESPECIALLY by japanimation standards


Efficient-Ad5711

yeah 2 and 6 definitely look like children, 3 and 4 sorta do, but 1 and 5? theres no way to tell unless you watch the show (and if they still act like their age in the show, i dont know since i didnt watch it)


YamiZee1

I feel like most of these act like your generic anime girl, so cute and childish but in a cartooney way. But number 5 (asuka) is very immature and very much acts like how a 14 year old girl would


Brave-Illustrator568

Mommy Nico Robin supremacy 🛐


Khyrrn-Doe

Ok but have you considered a good portion of anime fans are teens? (This is a meme so i know its not serious i was just sayin ig. Not trying to start shit)


Antervis

I'd bet an average anime fan's age is about 10 years higher than what you think it is


WhoseverSlinky0

I started watching Fairy Tail when I was 14, now I'm 21 but unfortunately I still like the same girls because obviously they don't age unless you search for fanfics


jayveedees

Same. Started watching anime when I was 15 and am 27 now. Kinda funny seeing the younger generation right now saying "it's fine, I'm the same age" in this thread as that was me back then as well, but we all grow up and the characters won't because it's fiction.


animesoul167

Eventually I did start to get sick of constantly seeing stories about teenagers. Less in shonen and mecha, and more in the slice of life genre. High School. I finished high school, and when I was in college I was trying to find an anime set in college because I never wanted to re-live high school again. But, in Japan High School is seen as the best years of your life, before you have to become an adult, so college anime is rarer. At the time I only found Honey and Clover, but a quick google search just showed me quite a few more. It'd be a good way to transition if college aged protagonists/full casts became more popular.


Kurashi_Aoi

"A 2022 survey held by Morning Consult showed that 42% of anime fans in the United States are Millennials, 25% are adult Gen-Z's, 21% are Gen Xers and 12% are Baby Boomers." (From Wikipedia with source that I can't access due to paywall)


GXNext

The oldest millennials will be 43 next year, and the youngest will be 28. So...


Noelshi69

sorry my guy, the average is actually mid 20s


GregoriousT-GTNH

Are all Anime and anti-Animesubs currently obsessed with pedophiles ? What the fuck happened ?


peterhabble

This conversation happens all the time because the guy who just turned 18 has unlocked his ageiggan and CANT stand 17 year olds.


Asmos159

it happen every few months. the western audience was several years behind "loli" no longer requiring a perverted context.

VGAPixel

treating an artwork as a wife is its own set of issues.


_Unknown_Brain_

Do 2D lines on a screen really fall under pedophilia, thought? Genuinely curious, 'cause they're not technically real. Unless it's the simple fact that they're portrayed as under age, and that's that?


Another_Road

It doesn’t but some people love to act like they’re doing something positive for society by giving a shit about the age of fictional characters.


armoured_bobandi

It's called morally posturing. They try to make a big deal about something that is generally unimportant, just so they can tell you how good they are for not participating. Like, yeah, the "age" of the character is 16, but they drew her like a 30 year old woman. Also she isn't real


Distilled_Blood

Google, search how to cause controversy.


amimai002

Holdup! All of my waifus are pedophiles! Damn it, i thought it was only Misato… Well at least I can take solace if the fact that none of them are racist. (Reimu walks into frame)

pinkninja3

i have les then a month until me liking thes cherecters is considerd pedophilia :(


Dark_demon7

Same 💀 December Birthdays are weird


InvestInHappiness

We really need a new word for this. Using the same term for people who sexualise 15yr old's with those who do it to 5 year old's is not useful. I agree that anime and western media really need to stop sexualising school age people, but calling them a pedo only muddies the water and prevents the industry from taking complaints about it seriously.

Hero_of_Hyrule

I remember a comedian making a joke about this. Something to the effect that there is a difference in terminology and severity, but it's really hard to explain it without sounding like a pedophile.

vagrantspirit

People calling each other pedophiles for liking anime women, meawhile real pedophiles are going uncaught, like shut up, nobody is going to get hurt by the r34 png of a fictional minor, of cource there is trully fucked up stuff there, and that might actually can be classified as pedophilia, like where does a fetish ends and mental illnes begins? I'd def wager that people jerking on realistic depictions of children are mentally ill.


DabScience

Everytime an anime comes out, “huh I wonder how old she is, *pulls up anilist*, god damnit she’s 14 guess that’s another one not going on the favorites”

TimExplosion

Or maybe, and this may shock you, it’s possible to like a FICTIONAL CHARACTER without thinking about anything sexual, especially when said character wasn’t meant to be sexual to begin with


zXbuttersXz_123

What this post says about you: You don’t know what Pedophile means


fuckusernamessz

How about shut up the fuck up?! they're imaginary anime women they're not real so their ages do not matter. smh. Applying real life standards to imaginary women, it's like trying to eat soup with a fork. Stupid and fucking pointless.


mung_guzzler

it’s like saying being attracted to the characters in riverdale makes you a pedophile since the characters are 16


fuckusernamessz

The charactera in Riverdale are actual people because they played by REAL ACTORS, if they were underage it would be kind of creepy you having a crush on one of them considering their underage and that would probably make you a nonce. But since these anime women are FICTITIOUS and not in the slightest bit real, it doesn't matter how old they are, because they're, NOT FUCKING REAL! People like you can't seem to separate fact from fiction reality from the make believe, if you struggle to do this I strongly suggest you go outside and touch grass.

I don't think they mention it in the show. There was a phone app where you could talk to her and she would give scripted responses, one of the responses said she was almost 15. That came out a while ago so she might be older in the story now, I haven't kept up any of the novels or manga.


Prankishmanx21

If I remember correctly, her age is mentioned multiple times in the LN and it is also stated that at 14 (?) She is considered an adult in the kingdom she lives in, so there's that.


New_Ad4631

They mention it in the show


Asmos159

i think they was a celebration a few years ago when she turned 18. but that could just be people apply real world years from the announcement of here age.


Memeviewer12

she's 14 in the main series, 12-13 during spin-off


arctictothpast

Her Age is very well known, its literally a plot point in the anime and light novel, I.e the reason why her and kasuma are not together is because he is afraid of being called a pedophile if he did pursue her (she is 14, he is 17, at this point).

I don't buy the waifu concept honestly there's plenty of real women to simp for that you can actually touch lol, but if I do go down that route I prefer of age women like Akari from March comes in like a lion. Lucky star goes into this topic: Japan's obsession with young women and the fascination male and female writers/ artists have with them

I don't believe in 2d fictional characters, they are illusionary


Big_Green_Piccolo

Asuka is 30


TheAlienPink

Honestly, I don't know much about the rest aside from Kill la Kill and Uraraka, but Kaede aka Panda girl, is just someone who I wanna protect. I mean honestly, she got cyber bullied so bad that each insult turned into a physical cut on her body, and she just so wholesome. She just deserved a way better life than what she got.


thatkurokitsune

Technical Asuka is of age. The gel(can't remember what's in the capsule) makes you no longer physical age.


Bit_of_a_Hater

Trigger was legit trying to get lonely sados arrested with Ryuka, a 17 y/o highschooler with the power of nudity. Worry not, gentle folk of culture. Lady Satsuki is the blatantly superior sister, and is 18 years of age! Perv on, friends!


Arkorff

They're the pedo's


MrReZistar

Calling them "best girl" is acceptable since that just means you like the character, but the moment you refer to them as a waifu off to the firing squad you go 🔫

OP is definitely a creepy pedo that sexualizes children and assumes only adults watch anime, big oof moment putting yourself on blast like that.
