I think you should be able to differentiate a cute doujinshis and shota/loli. It's so different because shota/loli hentai are literally created to cater to pedophiles. The physical appearance of late teens in animations do not ressemble kids in the slightest and we should be able to understand that.
If you cannot consume fiction and have a healthy relationship with it, don't consume it. Point blank period.
They don't resemble kids because they aren't. They're teenagers and not of age. You should already know this.
And not everyone can immediately be like
"Damn I like shota but im 22, guess i'll stop reading manga and anime because its unhealthy."
No, humans have needs and are impulsive. You wont stop doing something just because its bad or bad for your health. Same like smoking and drinking. People who do it on the daily or way too often arent gonna stop just because they 'cant have a healthy relationship with it'.
"If you cannot consume fiction and have a healthy relationship with it, don't consume it. Point blank period." is what you said.

My point is, it being fiction or not, they're still minors. It not being meant to cater to pedophiles doesnt make it right. Shota and Loli are actual 6-11 year old children.
Yes, teenagers do have sex, not saying thats bad.
Im saying its bad when you put that shit on social media or create that type of content. Like no, they're not your characters, you cant "age them up" or "age them down".
A minor is a minor. It's wrong to support this and its wrong to defend it.
I never acted as if people are just going to stop consuming it but if someone is afraid to have a certain content in media affect their reality and are vocal about it then they shouldn't be consuming it. Why is it wrong to have late teens have sex depicted but depicting murder, rape and other crimes is acceptable? To me, it doesn't make sense at all.
I don't see why you can't age up characters. People altering characters (physically and personality wise), the premises of the wold the characters are in is acceptable but aging them up isn't, how does that make sense?
They. Aren't. Your. Ocs.
You're completely missing the point here. They're minors. I wanna know what you think is okay about them being drawn having sex when they're not of age.
It's out on the internet for people to consume which is illegal. Yes, I shouldn't be talking. Mangago is an illegal site.
Can you please just tell me how you think people consuming media of minors fucking is okay
I just don't see what's the big deal. They're not real and it is not a media that caters to pedophile which actually hurt people. You're ok with mangas that have children dying or murdered such as the promised neverland but you draw the line at late teens fucking. Lol. I think that's funny.
So you're against any form of fanart I suppose that isn't 100% what the anime/manga is mhm? Better keep that same energy for any kind of fanart in that case!
Im in awe of people arguing in favor of depicting minors have sex with adults or other minors. This specific type of media isn't on pair with an independent coming of age film, this is yaoi (aka pornography). If anything, this discussion has convinced me, whether I enjoyed it or not, to not engage in jjK or any other work involving minors.
its a bad look.

I enjoyed this work, but the comments being made by some readers about the age of the characters is a valid one. We all have to be honest with ourselves.
Yes, these are works of fiction. But, so is shota or cub (fury genre) and both of those are disturbing af. I think some of you guys should allow the discourse instead of name calling.
Just a thought.
