Is it the 50 year old teacher/coach/priest touching 15 year old boys, or is it the 15 year old boy inside the 50 year old just exploring his sexuality?

when did having an anime character become about molesting children?

People like them have always thought that. Being into anime = being a pedo, it doesn’t matter that it’s now mainstream, these people have thought the same thing for decades.

Is it though?
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 week ago
it is.
imagine knowing your spouse since you were kids and loving them from when you were both kids. now that you’re in your 40s is it wrong to still be attracted to the people you were when you were 30+ years younger?
IMO no. because you care about that person through time.
does that mean you want to fuck kids? fuck no. does that mean you imagine fucking your spouse as a kid? fuck no.
honestly this is a perspective of love I don’t think many people give any thought to.

Okay but know you’re comparing a spouse and child to A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD ANIME GIRL

EVA came out in 1995. if a 15 year old watched it then, they would be around 30 today.
we attach emotions to fictitious characters that follow us throughout our lives. it’s not hard to grasp the concept that I’m trying to explain.
I do agree though. I crushed on Asuka. Do I have any images of her anywhere? no. why? because I’m in my 40s and that’s just weird. I was a depressed weeb neet that had zero friends. I grew out of it eventually. now I’m just a depressed weeb with zero friends.
I just don’t understand why anyone would attack a person over something so pointless like this though. If it makes them happy to and it’s not hurting anyone, go for it. sticker up puff girls afaic. too many fuckheads in the world make life miserable for everyone else and don’t realize that happiness can be a stupid little sticker.
