    This promotes pedophilia.

    Idk why so many grown nerds insist on sexualizing little girls.

    Edit: wow turns out this instance is full of pedophiles. Gross.

      I’ve seen this image pop up now and then for like 10+ years as a meme in the Linux community and never not once did I think this.

      Obviously if that’s a confirmed intention behind it, then it’s not okay, but I think you’re overthinking it, it’s just how anime designs are, the characters often look agelessly young.

      These look like pretty average anime characters to me and don’t strike me as implying something problematic in the slightest.

      Idk I’m an outside observer to weeb shit, but that’s how I always interpreted it at least.

        That is not ok either. Children adult sexual or romantic relationships are not ok because of the power dynamic. Both of legal rights and emotional and mental maturities.

            Doesnt matter if theyre gay/straight, this is very obviously sexualizing minors. The skirts blowing up is a dead giveaway.

              Good point, with hetero teen romance the guy usually isn’t even wearing a skirt.

            This isn’t even an image of lesbian teen romance tbh. Its penned for the viewers interest instead of candid scene of two kids in love

        If you’re an adult, and you’re interested in children’s romance thats the same issue. In fact, all content directed towards older audences featuring this kind of stuff, is directed to, and made by pedos.
