hmm i just heard the COLDEST take
i actually JUST saw someone tell minors not to ‘ship’ themselves with somewhat older characters on the basis of them being older
in particular, julian... devorak??? from the arcana? and their reasoning was ‘the character wouldn’t want that’? girl minors can ship themselves with literally whoever older than them, it’s adults who shouldn’t be shipping minor ocs and stuff with older characters
pedophilia: adults taking/creating minor OCs and shipping them with adult characters that do not follow a strictly ‘romeo and juliet’ age gap at MOST (were dating as minors, then one turned 18 before the other)
NOT pedophilia: minors taking a character in a ROMANCE GAME that is pg-13 and shipping themselves with the LOVE INTERESTS because they are having FUN as fans of a ROMANCE GAME where the point is that it is a SELF INSERT name and pronoun system ???
it is literally a fictional character, he doesn’t ‘want’ or ‘not want’ minors to ship themselves with him, he is not real. no conscious. fictional. what the actual f lol.
