This is an issue that has bothered me since I created the site. All the characters are under age, and since nothing pornographic is allowed, then it should be safe to play innocent under age romance.

But I was wondering, it's anime....so, should we remove ages, assume everyone is 18+ and keep the years, not like everyone would have to look older I mean, in anineland an 18 year old can look 12 as much as a 25 year old can.

I'm just curious as to how the rest of you feel about the pedo vibe that could arise from underage girls kissing and whatnot. :/

Nah, I say keep the ages.

Frankly, I don't see the issue. I've already decided that I won't have my chars be actively involved in romance until they're at least Second years, age 13. That's my personal solution to it, and I'm sure everyone has their own ideas on how to handle it. Again, I just don't see the issue.

Im just freaked out by the prospect that a person might join the site with the intent to match their character with a fist or second year just to get off on the idea of being sexually or otherwise involved with a young girl. Just got a pedo bear scare is all. If no one else thinks it's a problem then okay, but this has bothered me from the day I created the website. It's all fantasy anyway, so there's really no harm no foul. Still... :/

Just want to keep pedos out.

Hm, I see your point.
But I think even if we say they're 18, people would still be able to be attracted to the picture of a young girl.

True, I guess there's no stopping it. Like I said, it's fantasy and there's no porn so I guess it's okay.

Not only that, but I find it really hard to believe the pedobears are anime fans. That's the kind of stereotyping the outside community does about anime, without any actual facts.

Truth is, the pedobears are so broke and dysfunctional that they don't know what anime is.

?...that's really innaccurate, why do you think there are so many scantily dressed girls and such in anime? Trust me, there's plenty of anime porn out there.

Under age anime porn at that. Some Pedo bears are anime fans for that very fact. They even make sex toys for men shaped like the female genitals of under age girls and market it in boxes with cute anime characters on the box to inspire the fantasy that the toy is a representation of that girls...parts. It's not just a stereotype, it's a sad underlying part of the fandom. Some people watch it just for the peep show. And anime porn sites exist and are a large part of anime as are the more ecchi and harem anime types.

I just want to make sure this site is never used as a pedophiles fantasy.
