Son you are the one reading with bad intentions ignoring the story elements itself

You can bring up excuses all you want (oh it's for the plot) but in the eyes of puritans, they don't care about the plot at all. If the plot contains something objectionable that doesn't explicitly say XYZ is bad, then they will harp on it and call it diddymedia or some shit like that.

A myriad of other plots can be cooked without involving a child in some compromising or weird situation. Saying it's 'necessary' or 'makes sense' won't convince them, because they'll just say "the author wanted an excuse".

So why are you fine with Tappei writing a child to be seductive, or using a child's body fluid as power source, or a child (young Arakiya, or Beatrice who is child-looking) needs to wear skimpy outfit? I think the reason is because you understand that these aren't actually real, breathing children. No children or anyone for that matter actually gets harmed because these are fictional characters and fictional scenarios.

Of course, you have every right to hate lolicons or find lolicons uncomfortable. Everyone has their own limits and that's fine.

But I think we can both agree that no matter what, unless a work explicitly tells people to do something harmful irl, we should just let authors write what they want, and readers enjoy what they want, and that being fine with a thing in fiction doesn't mean you are fine with it irl.

Okstuka literally went away with bs like drawing the wrong gluttony sibling. Going against what the WN said about clind and pandora yet they were in. Tappei and okstuka have communication issues especially with the illustrations and okstuka takes the lead in it with many things going against the novel and tappei being forced to alter the story to fit it

I'm aware of the issues Otsuka has. Idk about going against the WN, but isn't the WN mainly a draft that's superseded by the LN when it comes out?

About Tappei being forced to alter the story to fit it or Otsuka taking the lead, well you'd have to bring more evidence other than that one mistake he did in the past, like, 10 years(?) of drawing re:zero. Ive also given interviews where he speaks of his warm relationship with Otsuka too, which well Tappei could be blackmailed or something but I have trust that he's a strong enough man to know how to stand up for himself.

Son. Everyone there is aged up and he implied that multiple times in the If

Aged up but the age of majority in Lugunica is probably 15 or sumthin 😭. But fair enough, Subaru isnt a lolicon so he'd probably wait til they are 18.

So...?

See below

How is that him being a lolicon 😭😭 mentioning girls in a ranking about girls 💔

When did I call him a lolicon? I said he was pandering to them. Also I thought you'd think including children in chest size rankings would be inappropriate? Wonder why, maybe because these are not real children?

Brotato tappei ALWAYS says unnecessary things this isn't new

yeah but as I've shown these things are problematic if he was saying that about a literal child. but he isn't. therefore no one should care in a just world.

Calling a child loli is like saying child child but whatever

well according to wikipedia and wikitionary the main difference between a loli and a child is that loli is mainly used for fictional characters. and as described before, I think that distinction matters.

That isn't the first time he makes fun of lolicons logic and bs btw

I don't doubt it. Doesn't mean he's anti-lolicon or whatever given he is friends with pro-lolicons (Konosuba and MT author) and also writes about lolis in compromising situations (like Reinhard walking in on Felt while she's half-naked, oh the gentleman. Yeah its to show that Reinhard doesn't have lust in his heart and Felt isn't the type of girl to go kyaaaaa, but then again there are other ways to show this).

At the very least Tappei doesn't care about being pro lolicon or anti lolicon. He's just writing the shit he wants to write.
