Dear Fire Emblem fandom:
Jaffar x Nino is NOT pedophilia. Nino is 14 years old and Jaffar is 16. They're both old enough to at least have an idea of what they're getting into if they develop feelings for each other, and in no way Jaffar is leading her on - in fact, did you miss the parts in which he pushed her away repeteadly in the beginning, and Nino would have nothing of it? The only time she rejected him was when he told her that he couldn't be her friend, right before he told her he loved her, and Nino took that as "I hate you" instead.
Nino isn't some little girl who doesn't know what romantic love is. Heck, her supports with Rebecca have them discussing about guys and crushes! And Jaffar loves Nino and would never force himself on her. Heck, when Matthew lied to him about having Nino as a hostage, he was ready to let Matt kill him if it meant Nino would be safe! Even if you dislike the couple, you just can't deny that they care for each other - if not for Jaffar, Nino would've died at the hands of either Sonia or Ursula, and if not for Nino Jaffar would've never developed feelings of his own.
And for the record, Erk is 15 years old. A little older than Nino and a little younger than Jaffar, but still in the same age bracket. If you're gonna bash Jaffar/Nino and then support Erk/Nino in these grounds, then STFU.
No love,
Maria.
