I am on the fence with cartoon depictions. Yet, I think that I am moving towards what Japan is also struggling and maybe moving towards which is lessening its support for artists and for artwork in anime and/or in manga where underaged girls and boys are displayed in a sexualized manner. Many Japanese, from the interviews and articles that I have read/listened to, are trying to fight child exploitation even if it is drawn/rendered.
^wraps "girl" could be a mid-twenties woman, maybe even 30. I cannot speak for others when sharing that I attend a number of lectures at our local university. When walking to the lecture hall, I pass university student who are 18 to 30 yrs old and they look like they can pass for 14 or 15. How people look at the age that they are has changed. That is why I worry when men still prey upon underaged girls when there are beautiful women closer to their age group, e.g., in their thirties and even early forties, who look as beautiful as ever. If beauty is your thang.
did you see the sex dolls that are made to look like children?
some countries are banning them. but the argument for and against is "maybe it will keep pedos away from real kids" or "it will normalize it for those pedos and they are more likely to want the real thing".
so just remember what you are normalizing when you say such things. maybe good maybe bad. time will tell.
