You know what I find stupid about antis bringing up the age thing though, you know the “She’s legal! She’s over 6,000-years-old!” is that they not only say it unironically, but they act like everyone is saying it unironically as an excuse for “pedophilia.” I have never in my life, since it’s conception, ever seen someone say the “6,000-years-old loli” joke as a legit excuse to lude a character. It was a joke, a literal edgy joke.But no, antis not only ruin it by taking it seriously, but by putting it into people’s mouths who never said anything about it.Not to mention, it doesn’t support their argument about how stuff like this “normalizes pedophilia,” when no human can live to be 6,000. We barely manage to reach 100, let alone any child.(Side note, it also really means jackshit when it involves immortal/non-human creatures. They’re not real so the correlations to that and pedophilia makes no sense.)
Anon, I’m going to be real with you.
I’m in the fandom that has a lot of actual 6000 year old dragon lolis in it. (Fire Emblem).
And lots of people (outside anti communities) create lewd work of the 6000 year old dragon loli characters.
and that’s fine.
What someone is saying when they claim that sexual content of 6000 year old dragon lolis is pedophilic what they are saying is that
- they believe attraction to people with immature features is inherently pedophilic
- they believe attraction to people with childish or immature behaviors is inherently pedophilic.
And we have been over why a mindset like that is inherently ableist and bigoted.
You can’t say adults who look childish don’t deserve sex and romance.
You can’t say adults who behave like children don’t deserve sex and romance.
6000 year old dragon lolis are not children. They’re not real, they’re characters, and they’re not even child characters.
