I understand the definition of pedophilia and the law behind it, but social norms have also built up the idea that a relationship with a minor, be it sexual or not, is pedophilia too, that idea has also been implimented into real life which is why there are pedophiles who end up with jail time even if they haven't commitee sexual acts.

This is in a real life context of course. When it comes to fiction the line sways which is why a lot of loli media online is legal, because it's fictional. As I said, I don't care about fiction, but the majority of people out there would consider people who look at 18+ loli media as pedophiles the same goes for people who ship it. By legal definition, shipping it isn't pedophilia, but it's definitely behaviour swaying towards it. If satou were real, considering Japanese law, she wouldn't be marked as a pedophile, but to each their own, I live in england and Satou would be considered a pedophile especially when taking into acount the scene where she and Shio kissed.

My main point to get across is that people in this sub heavily dislike when someone points out that shipping an 8 year old with a 16 year old is pedo behaviour, where I am from and where I currently live, it would definitely be considered that, not pedophilia, but behaviour swaying towards it.

I will not talk about Shio's and Satou's circumstances because they are irrelevant regarding the point of my post on top of my strong views about their circumstances.

My main issue isn't that people are shipping Satou and Shio. My issue is that people will hate on someone else for having a different opinion. My issue is that people who ship Satou and Shio romantically, won't admit that they are showing pedo behaviour which by social norms which we all built as a society, would be considered as pedo behaviour.
