pls pull up images of real people and compare. Alternatively show to people around you who don’t engage with anime stuff and ask them to estimate.

I get our standards are different bcs I don’t care for the artstyle (I also don’t know “the entire character’s appearance”, I see what’s in front of me), but you have to realise mine is prolly the majority viewpoint outside terminally online spaces - you can test that, do it.

I’m sorry, I can’t post images bcs of a bug, but I urge you to google images 9 year old, 15 year old and 20 year old women and compare them with the pic in the meme… I don’t care much for what weebs use to signify age in anime characters because that’s a standard within an industry that heavily fetishises childish characteristics in women in general. If a sexualized character looks more like a real kid than a real woman, it’s a problem.

Also “she’s an older kid, c’mon” doesn’t help the case even a percentage point.

Yeah, I can see that for sure.

I don’t like the mini version “she’s one thousand years old in the lore, she just looks like a kid” tho. I know some of you that see art like this more regularily might not see this the same because of what you’ve self normalized, but that right there is a preteen with slightly exaggarated breasts, and adding boobs to a child doesn’t make fetishization of the other features of them any more exusable. (I know you aren’t saying it is btw, it’s a general statement)

Wow ok as someone who doesn’t engage with anime much, some of you who’ve normalized the artstyle to yourself are blind about just how neotenous some anime characters are drawn to be

196 has always been fascinating to me, I’ve gotten barraged on the old subreddit before for being anti lolicon and a lot of dubious comments borderline defending creepy stuff get a lot of tracktion sometimes - only served to make me more aggressive on the topic which is prolly a good thing for me.

I get we’re a bunch of kinky queers and people are thus quick to get defensive about any percieved policing of sexuality, but there are some things that make me feel like some people here have alterior motives and there’s people who haven’t really thought about ethics in relation to pornographic content that buy into the former group’s narrative a little too quickly.

This could be true, but looks unlikely bcs

1. The name of the forum - it is not petite women or whatever, it’s literally ‘fauxbait’
2. A below comment from Doctorcrimson who seem to have gotten a very different impression than you from the same community

Do explain how banning porn groups forms echochambers tho, never heard that one before

holy shit what is it with some of yall and wanting to look 9 and dress in fetish maid outfits

please for the love of transness stop this, it makes me feel horrible about being trans when yall are like this

Said women have every right to do whatever, including doing SW. This is not an individual problem.

The problematic part is people actively searching out and forming communities around pron with women looking as close to a kid as possible. Condemning those guys has absolutely nothing to do with the people in the content and in no way shames them.

It ain’t the women at fault, nor the content inherently, it’s the context and people fetishizing them in a way they prolly would’t be comfortable with in the first place.

stop fetishizing drawings of 10 year olds

The Qt5 fandom is dying, repost if you’re a true cutie :3

this sounds like a 1:1 transcript of what I got arguing with anime pedos… not a fan. There are definetly things that took artistry to make that are still immoral and/or dangerous.

my dad has a 10 year old beer mug with this exact (translated) image on it 😭😭😭

she looks 12

don’t do IE dirty like that :(

Android is also open source and developed by Google… these aren’t mutually exclusive

If you want chromium without Google get ‘ungoogled chromium’

there’s sth inherently disturbing in people setting their pfp to a pre-teen then horny posting
