No i mean he wants to gently caress them not that he has. Heck maybe their deal doesnt even extend to real kids in which case i will throw them a parade. However he still made an ecchi manga about living with a big titty girl where she turns out to be the protags 12 year old daughter.

I assumed 'Being a pedophile' in general would immediately get you put in jail even if you hadn't actually touched a child. I didn't mean to insinuate that he had, I just couldn't find anything when I tried to Google that so I assumed that if anything had actually happens happened it's probably on a Japanese website that I can't even read the name of so I should just ask here.

Personally, if the imaginary number slapped onto an imaginary character is one that indicates the character is not an adult, and then this nonadult character is sexualized, that leads me to believe that the creator wanted to sexualize a nonadult character. If the number is truly arbitrary, a larger number could've been slapped on, but for some mysterious reason was not. I don't think the way the character behaves otherwise makes this stop mattering.

Alas, I have not played the game (playing FEH and some F/GO like once a day for, like, a couple of minutes is all I do as far as mobage goes), but their relationship is pretty clearly progressing towards that point in the anime.

that supposed infodrop on her age comes from a faulty translation where the ghost mom says "i'm 24" which should be "i was 24 when i died". and they aren't related... at all. and even if cool said "she's 12" it wouldn't make any sense at all, it'd would just be an arbitrary number slapped onto a char who acts and looks like an adult. as a testament to that, the person who you got this info from was fine with reading this manga up until the imaginary number came up

this is the problem with using telephone games and translated content
i apologize. i would like to use the chapter where kobayashi wants to gently caress kanna as evidence instead

Well like you said 'the author of the manga where the big tiddy Dragon sexually harasses a 10 year old boy and this Is framed as haha laugh comedy' I kinda assumed there'd be more of substance beyond just the stuff he's making like being caught with child porn or something or being weird enough about it in Twitter or something to raise red flags before anyone would be calling him a pedo.

Sorry, I really should've included that in my first post.

it's just weird that maidragon is the thing people talk about as an ultra woke wholesome thing and then whenever they have to acknowledge something weird about it try to like, shuffle it behind a curtain

like it's just. a show/manga with some cool parts and some weird parts. that's all it is. people love made in abyss and the weird parts of that interlink much more with the whole of it

I haven't seen people go on about how Maidragon is super wholesome or whatever since it was airing.

Like, the discussion in this thread isn't even in response to that it's people being concerned about a problematic character from season 2 when it shouldn't be a surprise because its the same comic that gets horny about the 6 year old and has the dragon that constantly sexually harasses a child.

i mean thats kind of the same thing tho

'why cant maidragon be like the wholesome season 1' when season 1 had both those things. the season 2 character is a lot less bad than the lucoa stuff frankly

I guess. I suppose I just never saw those comments as thinking season 1 was particularly wholesome but that they just think the new character was worse. Though yeah Lucoa's a bigger problem.

I'm really dense so honestly? Yeah, I'd figure that one out much easier. Lolicon just makes me go 'gross, not gonna check their work out' rather than 'oh poo poo, what did they get caught doing' that I assume pedo alludes to.

My reaction to calling someone lolicon is "if true, they should probably go to jail but I guess there's some leeway" whereas my reaction to calling someone a pedophile is "if true, they should absolutely die in a fire".

I mean, whatever they are, if they haven't exploited children, viewed exploitative material, or otherwise done something awful, they should probably just get therapy and continue to not do those things, not go to jail and/or die

the words are inextricably linked, but you can't just conveniently forget that japan already has words for pedophilia, plus the subcultural connotation of lolicon and go "yeah they're just equivalent, no need to address anything else." the word 'pedophile' didn't take root and spread through anime/manga and doujinshi

there are tons of times where rendering 'lolicon' to 'pedophile' in an anime joke completely changes the jab from an innocuous "oh, you like cute and small girls" to "call the police? haha?"


noted immoral anime for degenerates, gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun


the trick to that image is that absolved of context of the ep it looks like he could be making an equivalence when he's actually saying that medical professionals have a responsibility to the clinical term with a textbook definition for attration to prepubescent children and not the one that can has extremely nebulous boundaries and started because anime fans were crazy over clarisse from castle of cagliostro, who is around 18, in other words an adult. or does everyone here think that drawing someone cutesy and innocent makes them a character for pedophiles?

so, to quote that same anime squark posted, but 2 minutes later,
