/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Like it has been said, people are discussing two different things. Most Americans still think of having sex with a 14 year old as "pedophilia", while in countries like Spain, that's above the age of consent.

Also, I, too, doubt that people arguing in this thread are really attracted to pre-pubescent children, and not the 12 year olds+ after reaching puberty.

I see the flamewars in this thread as simple cultural confusion, shock, etc.

Most people are probably trying to argue that having sex with 12 year old+ does not necessarily cause any harm, it can be consensual, laws should be modified to reflect "reality", etc. While the other side see all this "pedophilia" talk as strictly referring to pre-pubescent childs.

I blame the media for labeling people above the age of majority who have sex with people below the draconian ages of consent as "pedophiles". I believe this is where the misunderstanding come from.

Also, English is not my native langue, so excuse me if I sound odd. This is my take on the discussion.

You will never know the joy of teaching your loli meido homunculus about sex.
Neither will I. ;_;
