Clearly, I did. I just wanted to be charitable and supposed the possibility that an assertion that didn't make sense was merely being misunderstood by me (not least of all because you didn't write your first two comments all that well)-- so I asked to make sure.oh I don’t know literally adding a middle school female character?
it’s pretty obvious enough but you didn’t seem to comprehend it when I made my first comment here
What kind of pedophilia is being channeled by the author when said author is writing a harem where the ML has two women his age, a woman older than him, and a woman only somewhat younger than him in addition to the middle schooler? How does the entire work become a conduit for some hypothesized pedophilia when the main conceit is obviously that at least two of the girls are unhinged and all five of them are promised to be intense/obsessive/possessive in their love? How does that work when Yuka is shown to be under the same social burdens as the other heroines when it comes to finding a viable lover, but that aspect of their society was introduced not with Yuka but with the two heroines that are Masato's age?
I already talked some about how loli-type characters have been used in otaku-oriented media for a long time. I already talked about my own appreciation for age gap romantic fiction in general, which can't be a unique perspective given the relative popularity of the premise. I figured that and all the aforementioned would be enough to establish that there are more likely explanations for the inclusion of a loli-type heroine than "the author is a pedophile".
Hell, I'm sure you haven't been cursed with knowledge, either-- there are manga floating about where you'll actually ask "is this mangaka a pedophile", that I'd actually back you up and say "yeah, that's a distinct possibility". Calling this "tame" would be understating things.
