Reposted this already, but am so mad at this kids rn. Like there was this kid telling people over 21 would be sick if they found anime characters that are like 16 attractive. Like first of all ok, sorry I think a drawing that doesn't even look like a real human being looks attractive? Sorry to disappoint I guess? And then someone in the comments was like "that's also a big problem in the haikyuu fandom" and I was like? How?? They're all in their mid 20s by 2021? They literally also got illustrated as adults? And they were like "yeah but they were minors for most the time so it's still wrong." And I was like OK SORRY KID FOR SIMPING OVER A BY NOW 26 YEAR OLD KOZUME KENMA, CEO OF BOUNCING BALL CORP, E-SPORTLER, GOSH KNOWS WHAT ELSE, BECAUSE HE WAS A MINOR FOR MOST THE TIME? Newsflash bro, I was a minor for most my life as well? So ok, in your opinion I'm sick for simping over a teenage drawing BUT ALSO FOR SIMPING OVER A GROWN ASS MAN DRAWING?!
And I also don't get it why they're all acting like someone's a p3doph!le if they think a 16 year + or even an 18 year old (which is an adult in my country) animated drawing is attractive? Like bro, can't y'all tell the difference between a real human being and an not even human looking piece of art? Wtf, are y'all too young for that kind of comprehension? I won't go after an actual kid now because of a good looking drawn character? Wtf is wrong with y'all?
And also if y'all are so correct with age and anything how's it possible for y'all to simp over Levi, gojo or even freaking sukuna which are way too old for you 16 year olds? Do you get hate for this? No, and why? Because us adults don't care who you simp for, because they're not fucking real.
Also it would actually be legal in my country to date a 16 y/o. Not that I would ever do this, cause I'm not attracted to real human minors, I have a boyfriend my age I love and will never let go. So please for the love of God, educate yourself in what's wrong. If y'all are 16 and simp over 12 y/o tpn characters like Ray or Norman, that's something to worry over if this would be real, because that would be f*cking illegal. But they're freaking drawings so get over yourselves my god.
Also haikyuu characters are 24-28 by now, so when they were 16 I was like 15, y'all were like 6, how does this feel? Tokyo revengers characters were mostly born in 1990, so when Mikey was 15, I was 9, but y'all were like what? Just born? How is it ok for you to simp, but for people that are 21+ it isn't? Just because they're shown when they were younger as well? 😂😂
And for the kids who were speaking up especially over the mha characters. Breaking news: this show takes place in the future, people are speculating it to take place in like 2150 or something, they would've not even been alive nowadays, so if y'all are so correct with your ages and everything, wouldn't it be wrong for you as well to simp over someone who would be able to date your own great great grandchildren?
So please stop this gatekeeping. I simp for 16 year old anime drawings, cause they're drawings. I would never go for a real 16 year old even tho it would be legal. I can differentiate between fiction and reality. If you can't, please educate yourself and think about how you're also not only simping for people exactly your age.
Also I don't know what all you're problems are with like sexualising? Like characters are aged up for this, their mindset is mostly also aged up as well. I didn't hear y'all complain when y'all were still watching Riverdale for season 1 and 2, where literal 16 year olds were f*cking in the shower, on a carpet, god knows where. Stop making everything a problem. (And to be honest, have y'all not realised that teens nowadays are starting to f*ck around when they're like 14? Wouldn't read some shit about minors tho don't get me wrong, I only read shit about adult characters, but still, y'all have to realise that many have already had made their first experience with 16?)
Also short question, how is bl fetishizing mlm? Wouldn't it be homophobic to don't read mlm? If it's wlw or wlm no one's complaining. It's all freaking normal, so why is it ok to enjoy a heterosexual romance manga, but reading a boys love manga is fetishizing? Shouldn't this all be treated the same? Like bro I'm pan sexual and I believe that this all should be treated equally to finally reach equality? Why gatekeeping mlm by calling heterosexuals out for fetishizing it, if they're just genuinely reading it for the story and characters?
I don't enjoy the anime community rn, especially not with all the kids on tiktok but I wouldn't do shit to leave anime behind for people who weren't even alive when I started watching in 1999.
Sorry for the rant, had to vent somewhere and tiktok is too toxic and my blogspot is dead since 2019, so yea.
