Thank you so much for your post. I’ve been harassed to the point where I had to get hospitalized because my F/O is a minor in canon and everyone called me a pedophile even though I aged him up. I tried so hard to hate him and get away from him but I never could… Despite all this I still love him very much and I think I always will.
Anon, I am so sorry that happened to you.
I was really hesitant to join the self ship community when I learned about it last year, because at the time, my most intense f/o was a high school student (Mukuro) and i had seen so much hostility from some people about that kind of thing.
You absolutely did not deserve any of the abuse or harassment that you received and I hope you know that.
I hope that you can break through those feelings of self loathing and find joy with your F/O again. There is always space for you in the proselfship community.
Liking a character who is canonically underage doesn’t make you a pedophile, and almost no one in the world would even suggest that it does. Fancops are the outliers.
