Remember 20 years ago when anime and manga was not as known and was seen as super weird and gross? I have yet to get "out of the closet" with my love for anime and manga with my closest friends but I have started speaking about it more freely online and even dared to bring it up on dates and usually their reactions are not as bad as I imagined...

And
Why are so many of you SO YOUNG?

Thank you to everyone who answered, hopefully more people keep adding their ages just to get an estimate of the age range percentages that use this ...... 1 reply
I keep seeing in many doujinshis, yaoi and hentai in general where one of the characters is portrayed as an adult but has child like features, round figure/silhouette, petite, even childish personality but they do not claim it to be shotacon or lolicon.
It really ruins the whole thing for me cause I just am not into it. I understand some people can look very young but there is a difference between looking like an 18 year old to looking like a 12 year old or younger. Women can look grown without having gigantic tits or ass, and men will never look like a 12 year old in real life, twinks look in their early 20s at most....
Idk it just irks me when the drawing style for the bottom is made to appear uncomfortably young, in that case, just add the loli/shota tag and problem solved, I won't read it.
I've been through some heavy bullying but it never got physical or as dramatic as in the movies, my experience could be somewhat compared to the movie mean girls if that makes any sense... Have you experienced bullying like in the anime/manga or real life movies?
I used to find very hard to see my favorite characters bent to strange djs and doing things that I believed could never happen with their original personalities but recently I've found some of the ships interesting and some dj works are very well done and dare I say VERY BELIEVABLE (canon? Is that the word?). Do you struggle watching your favorite characters doing unbelievable things? What are your thoughts?
