Considering Ryne isn’t real, she doesn’t actually have an age, and no one is harmed by anyone being “into” her yeah it doesn’t bother me. It’s almost like I can tell the difference between reality and fiction.

You are openly stating that you are completely okay with people sexualizing minors even if they're fictional and that there is absolutely nothing telling about it, that it couldn't possibly say anything about said person and what they're into. Someone admitting that they're into fictional children doesn't bother you at all. lol.

You guys should channel all this energy into getting American child beauty pageants banned because those actually impact real children.

Just going to say one small thing here.

Ryne, to our collective knowledge is about 16 years old.

Age of Consent in Japan is 13. They're not doing anything wrong legally, especially since FFXIV is a Japanese game at heart. Not to mention FFXIV's age-rating going up from 12+ to 18+ with Shadowbringers launch.

"legal" does not mean "moral" though

Yes they do, but this its own separate yet related problem which doesn't make it any less real. I've had people telling me firsthand stories about how they were groomed into thinking things like this are okay by other adults because this kind of behavior was so normalized.

It's almost impossible these days to shelter younger people these days from things like this, one day they look up some innocent character and next thing you know they're seeing things that they shouldn't be seeing and it's a very bad gateway to get into. I'm sure we can do better than that at protecting these people.

I'm gonna go on a limb here and say real children being objectified is more real than fake children being objectified.

And what happens when real children see it, what happens to the people who get far too comfortable interacting with real children because of what they've been lead to believe is okay. I don't even trust people like that to be on the same planet as my child, they can go somewhere else.

Big 90's Karen energy there, almost forgot what year it was. Remember when Mortal Kombat caused a wave of murders? Or how about GTA making people think crimes were okay?

You seem to forget that you can find these things literally everywhere, It's inescapable

I'm getting so much brain rot reading this imagine defending the cultivation of literal pedophiles in public spaces
