“But she’s a 500 year old [dragon/elf/vampire/etc] in human form, it’s fine bro.”

Looks like a child, acts like a child, would be considered a child by their own culture/species: That’s a child bro.

I’d like to say I’ve never had that conversation but I have.

“Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” was fine (though not everyone’s cup of tea) until they started to sexualize the minors (which was basically at the introduction of the child “dragon”). Then I stopped watching it. And from what I hear, I picked a good spot to stop watching as it only got worse from there in regards to the minor characters.

I don’t recall anything sexual happening with any minors, dragon or otherwise. In fact I don’t even recall anything sexual happening… in general, other than the obvious undertones between the two mains. Though I suppose I may have skipped over a fan service episode and not remember.

It’s been awhile since I watched Dragon Maid but I don’t recall that happening with her, maybe I blacked it out. Well there was the other child that was obsessed with her, I just don’t remember anything sexual. I do know that the relationship between the older big tiddy dragon and that boy feels innapropriate. I remembered while writing there is another child dragon with what I would describe as “bodankahonkaroos”. Maybe you’re right. I also think I recall the mangaka making porn of their characters to boost popularity.

Anime can have relationships between minors without oversexualization, even if that is what the characters are feeling.
