da how underage are we talking? because i know i'd be freaked out if i saw an adult saying really explicitly sexual things about a 15 year old whether they're famous or not
it's one thing when they're actually underage but fans have taken to infantilizing pm any young idol even after they've already reached the age of majority and it's so annoying. that and the policing of what even underage fans can say about those idols
+1 the policing of underage fans is really bothersome to me. imo it just gives the idea that they aren't allowed into type of sexual thinking until they suddenly aren't underage which is just wrong
i agree with their sentiment but i think some of them are taking it a bit too far
semi ot but i was thinking about this the other day and i ended up thinking about de-aging fics. say i'm 24 and my oppar is also 24 but i write sexual fic where he is 17. is this just as bad as writing fic about an actual 17 year old or is it different somehow? i'm not sure how i feel about it so i'd like to hear anons' opinions
well i don't think writing fic about a 17 year old is honestly that bad. i'm less obsessed with age and more with how people actually look. i've seen irl 15 year olds that look to be in their early 20s. and 20 year olds that look fucking 12.
see i think one reason i find myself baffled about this being an argument is that i tend to have a pretty firm mental divide over real person idol and character idol so for me aging down an idol is the same as aging down anyone else. and no one seems to ever have the same problem with high school fic or predebut v/jimin that they do with protecting underage idols.
most of all can ppl stop with the "everyone under 18 is a literal child" mantra because ages of consent and legality are different everywhere and i'm so sick of their us-centrism
i'm kind of on the fence about this because when bts debuted seeing 20 year olds thirst after a 15/16 year old was really groce to me? but idk i think some people to take it too far though, when red velvet debuted i wrote a fic with joy in it and people called me a pedophile - I was 19? she was nearly 18? lmao.
and then i see 16 and 17 year olds not knowing whether they're allowed to be attracted to jungkook and it's like??? of course you are? if you knew him irl he'd be in your class for god's sake
da speaking of joy, she's a perfect example of fans not letting idols who debuted when they were underage grow up, the way they acted about her age difference with sungjae was ridiculous lol, he was born just a year and some months before her
for wgm ppl were concerned about her being too young for marriage, not their age gap. ppl would be concerned about sungjae being too young too if ifans actually cares about btob
joy is pretty old for a newish idol so ppl are stuck with this infantile image of her. rv overall are pretty old tbh but ppl act like they are babies lol
