You don’t get a pass because your 13 year olds of choice are japanese and drawn characters. It’s creepy as fuck and I am judging you for it.

Anime about the dating lives of school kids is not something that interests me. Romance as a genre is not something I’m interested in, and as an adult, the lives of teenagers also aren’t interesting to me. I’d rather watch sports than teenagers kissing, and I hate watching sports.
If you (general) peaked in high school and like anime school girl shit because it reminds you of your ‘glory days’, lmao, ngl that’s just sad.
Adults wanting to be/be seen online as anime school girls are on par with the adults who have no qualms with sharing online that they want to fuck anime school girls. You’re both creeps imo.
Hopefully none of you work with kids/teenagers.
I think much of your post and position are fairly reasonable and common positions, particularly here on the fediverse, but I do kinda think you lost the plot here. Just cause you dont see the appeal of romance doesnt no one else does, and that the only reason someone would watch a romantic coming of age story is because they wanna fuck kids 😅
I like romance. I like seeing the themes of romance across a lot of people. Though generally queer romance, as it makes me happy to see stories of queer love and it feels like I have more cultural connection to the way romance looks in queer stories, regardless of pairing.
Romance frequently gets written as young people, because its a time of discovery and that heightens the tension as the characters are learning to navigate things together.
I didnt peak in highschool, I was going through a mental health crisis, I barely even got to experience highschool honestly. I just like seeing romance in media. The highschool ones usually aren’t quite as good though, especially in anime and manga- they tend to be fairly samey and rely on tropes, and as a result end up with underdeveloped characters. Not always though, sometimes they’re really beautifully written :)
I can understand by being grossed out by depictions of young people experiencing intimate things. But like, there are stories about people in all stages of life 😅 a coming of age story is a familiar structure because its a big experience that really shapes you as a human. And romance is a fairly core human experience for most folks too (though certainly not all). I think you just dont get the point, and thats okay but not everyone who finds joy or sees meaning in that kinda story is a wannabe child fucker
Why is my saying I dislike the romance and teen genres something people are interpreting as me stating blanket rules on what others are supposed to like?
I was sharing my dislike for the genres because I was replying to a comment reccomending shows from them to me to watch.
You can like whatever media you like, people will have opinions about it and judge you for it, just like people do with everything, and that is normal. You can like things other people have negative opinions about, it is allowed.
You like sexy children in anime and I don’t, good for you. I am judging you and think you’re gross, but you are still fully capable of continuing to enjoy your media despite this. See how it works?
You misunderstand- I do not think that your judgement means I can’t like something. I think your judgement is ill-founded and dependent on assumptions that you have as a product of not relating or enjoying the things you’re judging, and I’m passing judgment on it exactly in the way you’re passing judgment on what I’m saying. Only I think my judgement is actually well founded, and I think that’s reflected by the fact that no one but you disagreed with or disliked my comment, where many people have otherwise agreed with you.
That’s a transparently bad faith straw man, and you look like a moron for saying it as though its anything less than a transparently bad faith straw man
I’m ace. I don’t generally find people sexually attractive lol. Not really a thing that happens for me.
Hopefully this clarifies the situation.
I don’t know that I believe thats an honest reframing but frankly it doesn’t matter. A ‘general you’ still implies it’s true for me among others.
If its not true for me, maybe, just maybe, theres a way of relating to this you just don’t understand, and not everyone who enjoys romantic coming of age stories is a horrible person who wants to fuck children. Just maybe.
The fact that you just told someone who likes coming of age romance stories that they “are allowed to like sexy children” is telling on yourself. It means you cannot look at teenagers who are in love without getting aroused.
Your comments all over these threads make it very obvious that you are a self-hating pedo trying desperately to convince everyone, including yourself, that you aren’t one.
Most people don’t look at teenagers holding hands or confessing that they’re in love and think “wow look at those sexy teenagers”.
You have a genuine problem.
Get help.
(I’m ace, which personally I think makes it way funnier that he feels that’s a biting criticism lol)
Oh wow that really does make this even funnier holy shit 😂

Sorry for enjoying some entertaining comedies I guess. If you just don’t enjoy romcoms at all then fair enough I guess, taste is subjective, but I think you’re just projecting too much outrage that other people enjoy things. There’s truly nothing wrong with any of the shows I mentioned, and even if they’re not to your taste I think you could at least get a better idea of why someone else might like it.
