So what theyre saying is...treating kids like normal people, getting down to their level so they dont feel theyre being talked down to, making them feel safe when theyre in a life-or-death situation is considered being a pedo??? I just lost a lot of brain cells reading this. https://twitter.com/zukugf/status/1274831041426075648

As someone who has worked with kids & wants to continue working with kids this argument(if I can even call it that)makes no sense at all! Deku is treating these kids as anyone would. Kids under 4 will feel threatened if you stand over them, so you want to get on their level+

Or else youre gonna get hurt! Any child/adolescent psych class/working at a daycare will tell you that! Kota was a kid who was angry because his parents died being heroes, Deku was able to talk to him cause he felt he could relate in some sort of way. Eri was in a hella lot of+

Danger with Overhaul. TW: child abuse mention. She ran into him BY CHANCE and clung to him because she felt safer. She asked him not to leave cause she was terrified! He did what he thought would make her feel safe & held her AS ANYONE WOULD IF THEY FOUND A CHILD IN THAT SIT.+

The same thing go for Katsuma & Mahoro in the movie. And I'm not gonna waste my breath on this cause its almost like Kota & Eri's situation cause one doesn't believe heroes are doing their job & the other is there to be more relatable to Deku & the villain whose after the kids.

Yeah, pedos are a problem especially when they act upon their fetish, I understand the concern for kids' safety, but if you are projecting this kind of feeling/"info" onto a fictional character who is not acting in any sort of sexual way towards kids, youve got a problem.

Instead of focusing on all that energy on fictional characters why not make donations to places that help kids/people who have been victims of child abuse and such. I'm sorry to go on a rant here but I've had enough of reading about people saying that so & so is a pedo+

& they're talking about a fictional character. Unless the creator is glorifying it, you have absolutely no reason to say that character is such. This is also why I think people should take psych courses cause they not only learn how/why other people think/behave+

But they learn a lot about themselves.
Rant over. Again sorry for this, but not fully sorry cause the reasoning behind calling a character a pedo on unreliable/faked/projected/info drives me up a frickin wall. Even if the character is... it's a FICTIONAL character.+

If anything, that character is there to be a villain/antagonist of some kind as they usually are in a lot of shows/movies. They are also creepy as hell, even if the person is attractive theyre personality can be/is offputting to the audience/people in the movie. And most of the+

Time, they get their just desserts at the end of the movie. So again, instead of putting all that energy to shows/movies that may or may not have characters who are pedos, put that energy to organizations who help victims. I dont know of any that I can put in this thread though+

But I'm sure they're out there if you all looked.

Also yes, I used the word fetish & I used it in the right way for this thread. I looked it up to make sure too.
