@PsychoJing But you admit the trope is there.
My problem is not the tropes themselves. My problem is when the trope is used in a way that pushes pedophilia. Paring those tropes with pre-pubescent kids is not fucking okay.
1. I'm not complaining about the MC being fine - I'm complaining about the girl being a-okay with it. The argument of "but she's wearing a robe" (which is form-fitting) is trivial.
2. Again, it's not the character himself - it's the PRE-PUBESCENCE of the character, which is then compounded with said character perving on PRE-PUBESCENT kids.
And just so we understand each other (though you've probably guessed by now), I have a violent hatred for the bullshit argument of "It's okay, (s)he's 20 / 30 / 50 / 100 / whatever on the inside."
