this is a topic on a grey line tbh.

Sure i know what and how you mean it but if you have a cartoon character, clearly dressed as child, clearly acting as child, clearly BEING a "child"...you know?

I mean it IS a grey line topic for a reason. I mean imagen some diddlers in RL would go with that...well...
I know we "are" still talking about cartoon characters but again, itsssssssssssssss a odd grey line here, you know...

lol it's not a grey line. A cartoon is an object. A real child is a real child. The end.

@ bunnylipgloss

sure, feel free to have the urge to fuck any cartoon character you, as adult, in rl still, wants. the cartoon character is an object, the urge the idea but "you"?

It kinda depends on what you mean by "grey area", being harmful is not a grey area is simply not true. Erotic cartoons are NOT harmful. Now, is it immoral? Well, I guess 🤔, I mean, some people will dislike it and feel unconfortable with it because the characters look like children, regardless of whether it is harmful or not.

I got no problem with another person's kinks as long as it's not causing harm to them or others. I'm not a fan of loli/cub stuff, however, I don't at all see it as the same as actual CSAM material like some people. By their logic, being into vore would be the exact same as actually cannibalizing someone. It's the same logic politicians make when they say video games cause violence.

People need to stop treating fictional characters as real people and start treating real people as real people.

It's a sad state that the people who treat fictional characters as if they are real, and real people as if they are fictional characters, are often the people in positions of authority these days.

Shame some countries think a drawing should be illegal. The guys who made those laws are likely closet pedos.

Krezz was fond of saying "No matter how they may look, my characters are ageless."

My statement is "The age of my character are to the world they are in. If taken to our world as is, they would be adults in numerical age."

evolution gave us the ability to distinguish real human from a non-human, which includes drawings

this is called COMMON FUCKING SENSE

This is very true. And it goes both ways. I've seen people go Gaga over a character that's drawn to be grown up despite them only existing for a short time and I've seen them also go Gaga over characters who have never grown up despite being older than a number of the people that are still alive today.

True words Bbmbbf.
Cartoon are not and never have been real.

Tbh I find putting an age of a character to be kind dumb. Unless it has to do with the story, what reason would need to put an age on a character.
They'll never get old or get younger. So why are people just so agitated with cartoon ages. This didn't use to be a problem, which why characters didn't have canon ages before. because no one cared.

This very reason is why I'll never and will put ages on my characters. If fans want to put ages on my characters that's fine, but it'll never truly be canon.

And really let's be real no one will ever age up a character because then that would ruin the merchandise. Lisa Simpson will forever be 8 years old no matter how many times they do those future episodes where she older.

Dot will never grow because growing her up will ruin the scale of the characters. Cream will never age in fact if she was a real bunny she would be long dead by now.

People just want to have their cake and eat it. I always say to someone that flags me for drawing younger characters, "Ok show me their birth certificate."

I look at the copyright date (of the first medium to contain the character) to determine a character's age.

Agree, no matter what a cartoon character you create looks like, they can be young, old, very young, or very old, their age is and always will be irrelevant because they are not real.

The "Garfield" comic have been around scene 1978. A house cats average lifespan is 13 to 20 years. Anyone can do the math.

Ash Ketchum, a 10 year old pokemon trainer that traveled the world on his pokemon journey for 26 years. How does that work? The answer is no real age.

"Phineas and Ferb", started in 2007, today they would be in their 30's by now. In season 4 episode 34. Act Your Age, everyone did get older in that one episode but after the show came back they didn't keep the kids as teenagers, their creators drew them back into kids because there's no real age to them.

The "Looney Tunes" been getting laughs since 1933. Most of the Looney tune characters are animals and if they did have age they would of died before they saw the 50's and the only Looney tune that would be alive today would be Cecil Turtle, scene turtle can live for over 100 years.

I can keep going with this but you all get the point.

Here here, BBMBBF!

It doesn't matter the age that the artist/writer made the character. Because in the end, it's all for a fictional story that doesn't exist. If characters from Sonic & Mario's world were real, we'd be having flying pigs. XD And worrying about Bowser or Dr. Robotnic destroying the world. LOL

Welcome to the wonderful world of the internet.

It's so easy to use the "Close" button, change the page, or simply ignore it and move on, but people choose to fight and start epic battles over something trivial.

It reminds me of a boycott against a couple of cosplayers just because one of them looked under 18 and was wearing a bunny suit, but she was actually over 22 and even had a driver's license. Yet people continued the boycott for no reason.

Obviously, there are limits... but keep in mind that the first limit is easy to break: accessing content you don't like and then fighting to have it removed.

If you ask me, there are things I'd rather not see, and certain cartoon and/or anime characters I wish didn't have erotic content, but I just ignore it and go on with my life. The world isn't going to change anyway, and it's not the end of the world.

Unfortunately, some people will never understand this. For them, depicting "underage" characters sexually feels wrong on a visceral level, because that's what they've been taught to feel since childhood. They don't care that no real people are harmed, because harm is not the source of the wrongness; in their mind, it's just wrong. Any argument they make to explain why it's wrong isn't the basis for their feelings, it's the opposite: it's a rationalization of the feelings they already have. Which is why you can't reason them out of it.
