Fantis: "stOp sexualizing the characters from hq!!"

Me:

They& #39;re fictional characters https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">

They& #39;re not real https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">

So if people want to thirst after the characters, let themhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">

No one is sexualizing real minors here. If these were REAL teenage athletes people were sexualizing, I would be like "um no, you need to stop now." But they& #39;re not real. They don& #39;t exist. They can& #39;t be harmed. They& #39;re drawings. Let people think they& #39;re hot.

Also as someone who& #39;s been in the fandom since 2014, the fandom& #39;s been good at not reducing characters to just "ooh look at his thighs wink wonk." People are more than capable of admiring them for their characterizations *and* thirsting after them at the same time, it& #39;s not hard.

Also - THEY& #39;RE ADULTS IN THE MANGA. The mangaka has gifted the fandom canon aged-up characters on a golden platter and y& #39;all are STILL like "but they& #39;re minors though" y& #39;all are such kill joys, just let people have fun with *fictional characters* I& #39;m begging y& #39;allhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
