Is it unethical to be attracted to be attracted to Lalafells?

[Tranquilmelody7]

Asking for a friend

All lalafells in the game have appearances remotely similar to children(They are disproportionately stocky)but are adults.

They could be compared to the "I'm a 1,000 year old demon with the appearance of a prepubescent human" trope

Yes and Hrothgars too

Ethics can't touch what stays in your mind.

Ethics can't touch what stays in your mind.

Oh, my sweet summer child—what do you know of ethics?

Oh, my sweet summer child—what do you know of ethics?

I guess it went over your head, kid.

A perfectly normal thing

This is one of the most controversial topics online and in the social media sphere today. Not so much limited in terms of Lalafell, but the greater conversation surrounding looks and attraction in anime and East Asian media that is considered falling under neoteny, and whether such kinks or fetishes can lead in any way to child endangerment. And what the ethics and dangers of physical appearance are. What it's okay to look like. Perhaps the most sensitive topic in all of human sexuality, at least online.

I have some opinions on this subject. But no matter what stance I were to talk, or what degree of reasoning I would put for for an argument, there's no way to not lose face. And I'm not sure I want my Square Enix account permanently associated with such a hotly contested and judged debate. I've been on Twitter and elsewhere enough to see the direction this subject most likely goes. And that direction goes to people screaming at each other over Twitter and name-calling. People can't even decide whether shipping characters with a height gap is okay, and many have decided that revealing personally information and online bullying is okay over ships they don't like.

The idea of dragging that can of worms into my official Square Enix account, and whether that's worth it, is something I'll have to think on.

This is such a well-measured response. Damn.
I just had to say that.
