Oh god I agree. I don't even see why people freak out about age so much, especially in fiction. Yes paedophilia is wrong and a very serious crime, and I of course don't support it. Truly it depends on the characters/people in the relationship.
In reality, the smaller the age gap the better, as society thinks anyways. Yes a grown man with a child is wrong, but is a 14-15 year old with an 18-19 really that bad? heck when I was 14 I was with a 18 year old for two years and we had a very good relationship, we never slept together of course cause it was 'illegal' yet you can still have a great relationship without that, and I never had a problem. I still prefer men a few years older than me because I'm rather mature for my age and the guys my age were all idiots, I'd rather be with someone older and smarter than someone my age who is a total moron.
In fiction however, why does the age gap matter at all? There really are no laws or regulations in fiction so who's being hurt by it? NO ONE. I often like shota pairings simply because the relationship is very in depth and appealing to me, I don't much care for a fictional characters age at all as long as its consensual and the characters work well with each other. For example, Sebastian x Ciel is my favourite shota pairing. First of all Sebastian is a demon and will never age anyways, and Ciel is VERY mature for his age. The characters work well together and make for good fanfiction, fanart etc. even the creator wanted to put them in a relationship but didn't end up doing that because it may not have been as much of a success (though the creator does make her own doujinshi of them).
i agree ^^ people don't even bother to do their fact checking which annoys the shit out of me and then they go pointing their fingers in every direction at anyone who likes it and it's like--excuse me--but no i would not go and molest a little kid, the fact you even thought that up kinda makes you the sick fuck doesn't it?
not to mention i'm dating cas and legally i'm an adult and he's only 3 years younger than me- so like you said, we don't sleep together n have sex, but it's a perfectly healthy relationship- in fact, neither of us have ever been happier until we found each other. So unless he's crying rape and molestation or says he's hurt because of me etc. nobody has the right to say i'm being pedophile piece of shit because I treat him like gold. I would without question put my life on the line for his. --personal relationships aside.
ignorant uneducated folk need to do their research before making stupid opinions and pseudo facts,
did i tell you some idiot came to my page and was all 'you like yaoi and yaoi promotes rape and pedophilia and sexual torture' -.- he...hehe...well someone's been drinking too much stupid juice today.
i asked where he got that idea from and he was all like 'well i google yaoi rape culture and guess what showed up'
-.- no. shit. sherlock. you googled rape and rape came up?? what a fucking surprise!
I met this high-school whore who looks about fifteen, and she says she has sex with her boyfriend all the time-AND HE IS TWENTY. THAT is pedophilia, and she had just met him a month ago...I tried reporting to the principal's office but so far they had not done anything.
Seriously, this freshman comes to school with HICKEYS all over her neck and talks openly about her sex life with her adult boyfriend!!!
He is just using her for sex, because she knows almost NOTHING about him other than "He has a car and he loves sex." I told her flat out that he is gonna dump her when he gets tired of her body...less than a month later, I see her without hickeys for once and looking sad and angry.
I was right.
Yeah I remember you ranting about that like... the fuck? If you look up rape you'll get rape
People are fucking retarded -_- And quite frankly I've seen a lot of really sweet yaoi with no rape or anything- oh and I also think people need to learn the difference between bdsm and torture- some people and characters LIKE a bit of pain, masochism is a very common fetish so of course they will make yaoi involving that, but bdsm isnt rape or torture if the character consented and was enjoying it... to be honest I've seen more heterosexual hentai with rape torture and pedophilia v.vand saaaame QwQ i actually like a lot of the yaoi and yuri pairings out there because they seem more heartfelt then a lot of the hetero pairings (not saying this is for all of them, i actually ship quite a few strait pairings) but it's the point.
-i'm guilty of having masochistic tendencies actually and cas knows it XD- but yeah- there are weird fetishes out there for sure, rape culture being one of them but i agree that people need to learn the difference before assuming crap, i saw a really nice piece a while back on here of a yaoi couple in light bdsm play and someone who commented flipped their fricken shit over it saying things like
the artist supported rape and that they were a sick twisted person and that they hoped the artist got raped so they would know what it feels like etc. -.- like...really person? what is wrong with you??
and i agree on that part too--ALOT more rape happens in hentai, i had a friend in highschool who was into hentai and while he avoided the weird crap like rape he mentioned several times about running into it n shit :/
say a 12 year old and a 18 year old are dating in a waifu way, while some people think it's odd
it doesn't matter in the long run, my parents are 6 years apart in age and no one thinks that's pedophilia
I just don't understand most people
yes I know, but you forget that most male's at 14-15 are VERY immature. I'm not attracted to that one bit, all I see them as is annoying and stupid, and it is virtually impossible for me to have an intelligent conversation let alone a relationship with them. Yet a guy who is a few years older I can relate to much better, and it's possible to actually have a good relationship. Besides a 3-4 year difference isn't much of a problem in my eyes :/ and I am Australian so 18-19 year olds are often still in highschool here, we don't have college, we have university and it's a choice to go there, not a requirement. And we don't have middle school either, only primary (k-6) and highshool (7-12).
Physically, yes. Mentally, no (though it depends on the person)
I'd rather be with someone older and have a enjoyable relationship. Rather than be with some moron my own age and be completely miserable.
Most girl's mature faster than most guys, so it is quite common for a girl like myself to choose someone older.
