Yet more culture clash

Jan 06, 2007 14:00

I am so annoyed by this fandom's fascination with pedophilia. What is it, pedophiliaphilia, when people get all hot and bothered for talking about pedophiles?

This is my first real fandom, so maybe this is a common thing that I just haven't noticed before, but it boggles my mind.

Word!

Teens =/= little children.

*Hands you some internet.*

I LOVE YOU.

besides. in the case of Roxas - he is a being who is not 'human', and he is not and has never BEEN a child.

Aa yes, I was wondering about the repeated request's for people to write KH yaoi dealing with peaodphilia...

Anyway, it would be ephebophilia - the attraction to adolescents in the above mentioned cases...so..there...XD;

And um, word. ^^

I don't remember where I saw that request, but it left me absolutely speechless. I mean, people are free to have whatever kinks they want in fiction, but none of the pairings listed had anything to do with pedophilia! Not only that, but... yeah, that's one of those kinks in fiction that makes me feel physically ill, and just thinking about it. Ack. D:

Hmm, It was requested on what I assume would have been Khyaoi, but I think someone did an opposite rant to this one here o.o

And yeah, as I said, it's ephebophilia! D= (but yeah, shouta/lolicon=sick and wrong >__<)

That's the thing about fandom, we've all got different opinions. XD I was actually expecting some flames....

...Your icon makes me giggle and I can't put my finger on why. The hot dog is just so RANDOM.

He learned to be humanlike from Backstabbing Central 101. That was what he knew, and with a tender infancy like that, I can't even comprehend how he'd be anything but mature.

That is the best way to express Roxas' socialization, ever.

...That is strangely adorable. Also yay for lesser known Disney movies!

I almost feel like the manga was less sugarcoated-- it was cracky, but everyone had more characterization. Most people remember that, say, Marluxia came off as pretty gay in the manga, but not as many remember that he also came off as cruel and all around nastier than in the game. The Org is just not made up of nice people. XD /tangent
