im confused how can you age a minor character up then put on the character that they are the age that you set them up to be, it just sounds weird to me that you have to age up a minor to put them in sexual situations, like they are still a minor whether you age them up or not. so basically you're still sexualizing minors. for example an adult aged up Killua to put him in sexual blah blah, if you wouldn't sexualize a real 14 year old why sexualize a fictional one????
because it's not a real one. i can thankfully mentally separate an anime character with super powers, a fictional character created and cultivated by a full grown adult, from real life minors. i don't even consider anime characters minors because it doesn't make sense to apply real world ideals onto them when they dont exist in the real world.
it is not sexualizing minors because real life minors are not anime characters.
the whole point of aging them up is because i'm not thinking about them as high school students. i like their character designs and the personalities that are given to them by the person who created them. they are created, fabricated by another person - an adult. i'm not attracted to them as high school anime boys, i'm merely attracted to their character designs and character development.
there is a difference between real life people and anime characters. both physically and mentally. regardless, an anime character will NEVER exist in real life. if i lewd bakugou, bakugou will never know. bakugou will never care. he doesn't have consciousness or opinions. he doesn't see or feel things. he doesn't hear what people say. there is nothing to him beyond the fact he is lines on paper or an animation on a screen.
if i lewded a real life minor, that directly correlates to a victim. that is a real life, living breathing person.
just because you are a real life minor does not mean you correlate to an anime character. you are not a victim because someone on the internet thinks shoto todoroki is good looking.
