It's no different than the people who spend all of their time talking about how being gay is wrong, only to be caught cheating on their wives with gay men.
They think if they say things making themselves morally superior that it will somehow obsolve them of their wrongdoings later.
Usually, people who are obsessed with a certain topic... even when things clearly don’t always relate to it, but they still keep connecting everything back to it... are kinda in denial about actually liking those things themselves.
Ngl when I was a kid one time I was playing I accidentally touch someone's private part cause I need to climb up from the playground. As a kid in perspective I see nothing wrong, but on others they called me a pervert and they got mad. I was so confused... So fr it really from people's perspective that makes things dirty when it actually not.
You are so far in denial it's actually insane. Also no it's not okay to get into an relationship with someone you knew since childhood when you're significantly older. That's called grooming
The west has corrupted your brain my mom is way younger than my father and she knew him since her childhood but my father didn't "groom" her into loving him it happened naturally after they both got of age. He never saw her that way when she was a child why because she's a literal child but you know what happened when she got older and had her own job she became a adult who can choose which person she wants to be her lover
Knowing someone since childhood is not automatically grooming. Grooming involves manipulation, power imbalance, and intentionally influencing a minor for a future relationship. In this case, the younger person simply had a crush, while the older person didn’t pursue anything until they were both adults. People are throwing around the word “grooming” too loosely.
Buddy your mom got groomed.
There is always a power imbalance between a child and an adult, even between a child and a teenager. The older person has to set clear boundaries. If you seriously think the relationship they show in this manga is normal then you're not a safe person to be around children
Groomed and she wasn't even in love with him till she got a job
But I agree this manga is definitely catered to pedos and is pedophilic
Yeah yeah, why would I want to hang around kids whose way of thinking is such a pain? I"m only here because I wanted to argue with people like you who obsess over other people's fictional reading stuff.
Honestly... the really problematic ones are usually the denial type people like this, not normal people who can actually separate fiction from reality.
Just so you know, in real life, I'd be the first person calling out those disgusting pedos with no morals. I absolutely despise people like that... I'd spit on them if I could.
But when it comes to fiction, I seriously can't stand moral police like you!! I hate how people try to limit fictional freedom. (As a fan of yandere stories, I especially can't stand hollier than thou type readers like you because you're such total party poopers.)
Diem lu bacot banget ngentod, merasa sok paling bermoral lu!!
You did not defend fictional freedom. You defended problematic behavior towards children.
Again people who obsess about calling out others for what they seem to be morally wrong are the ones who are problematic. Is it because you are too tempted in real life by children and think YOU will harm them so you think other people also have these thoughts? I think you need to look into yourself and deal with those internal thoughts because you are the clearly the dangerous one with your weird thoughts that you push onto others.
What you're doing is called projection. You read a manga that is clearly targeted at pedophiles, then you defend the problematic behavior, but for some reason everyone else is the problem? Maybe try self reflection for once, read whatever you want but stop defending pedos and groomer.
Maybe you haven't read the series, but Yuu hasn't had a relationship beyond friendship so you are weird for projecting your feelings into a fictional character. But yeah... go ahead and keep saying that *I* am the one that's projecting. Seems like you want so badly for something to happen that you are trying to manifest it. And then to make yourself feel better and obsolve yourself of the guilt you feel for having inappropriate thoughts, you pretend that you are morally better and just looking out for the children. You know the children that aren't actually real children but fictional characters. If you want to actually do something with your time, go find a real child to help. But you won't do that because you love making up narratives in your head that you fantasize about. Creep.
After looking that Lynn's manga history, I think they're the ones who are REALLY IN denial.
Maybe they should take a break from reading so much fictional manga before they can properly differentiate fiction from reality.
I read sick shit, I can differentiate between fiction and reality. You obviously can't by calling this manga normal and unproblematic. You know what the difference is ? I can watch breaking bad and say selling drugs irl is bad, you are the type of person that defends why selling drugs is actually okay and everyone else is just a junky and weird for pointing out that what's presented in media is wrong even if it's fiction.
clockkk
...to be the moral compass.
You see a little kid with someone older and already make it in something perverted. What is wrong with you?
Let's be honest here, who, as a kid, didn't have a crush on someone older or let's say infatuation? Maybe a friend's older brother/sister? Other friends? Neighbors? Etc.
Just because someone who is older is nice to you, doesn't automatically mean they want you. Eg. my sister is 8 years older than me - so her friends were also 8 years older than me and they were all kind to me and sweet - and none and I mean NONE were inappropriate. And from personal experience, unfortunately, I know what it means to be preyed on.
And these high an mighty ppl who see predators everywhere - not everything is disgusting and inappropriate.
As for this story. Tsubaki is the one pursuing Yuu and Yuu is oblivious, because he DOESN'T have the same feelings. If, and only if, they get together when they get older - so what? Are you saying that relationships with age gaps are perverted?
If this story takes a turn that Yuu actually takes action to have a relationship (and a mean a romantic one) with an underage Tsubaki - then yes, I will stop reading, but as long as it is like it is now - I don't see an issue...at least not with these two.
