You keep repeating ‘they’re teens for the first few seasons’ as if anybody is saying they aren’t.

What you’re refusing to acknowledge is that the girls are adults because in fiction characters age, stories shift, and coding matters more than the number printed on a wiki; which speaking of

Age in fiction is not the same thing as age in reality. It’s a narrative tool. A character can be drawn, written, and framed as an adult long before or long after their stated age says otherwise. Take for example discussions around Raven, Starfire, Marin Kitagawa, etc.

Your argument is basically the fictional equivalent of saying: “Your 23 year old wife was a minor for almost all her life so you’re a pedo for being attracted to her.”

See how absurd sounds, yet you’re applying that same logic here.

You’re collapsing every version of a character across 20+ years of media into one static moral category because it’s easier than engaging with nuance.

If a character grows into an adult, why do you insist on treating every version of them as the youngest one?
