I'm a bit confused as I thought lolis referred to people of specific height and body type.this is a bit unclear. this isn't what the 100yo argument is about, at least to my knoweldge. I haven't seen petite girls/women being referred to as lolis. It's always children. Literal children not adolescents. It was in almost every anime. The loli teacher/mentor/dragon/vampire etc. There is no argument here.
I understand, you think that the behavioral pattern of the problematic characters is too immature and childish. If you think that these characters don't exhibit the cognitive abilities to act responsibly as adults, then your position makes perfect sense.now dress her up in a school uniform, have her behave all cutesy and say 'oni-chan' every 30s, things become very different.
I'll be a little conservative about judging the mental age from behavioral pattern. Twitter made a ruckus about Kobeni (21 yo kitchen knife wielding psychopath) from Chainsawman acting like an "underaged coded" character simply because she kept acting whiny and terrified against an encounter with a devil. Likewise, I think adult can act cutesy if they want. It's a bit subjective, but if the author don't make an effort to depict the character as an adult at all, they're indeed at fault. School uniform is indeed a pedo fetish I guess.
I understand, when I wrote the initial post I was mostly thinking purely in a visual point of view and didn't adress behavior as much.petite women are different, I agree. gauging morality based on smaller/bigger than 18 is very stupid. some women are 30 and look 16. here context, behavior, maturity, background, and the like matter. however, I have never seen any 25yo women who look 9.
I'll repeat my visual issue: it's hard to tell if it would be a child or an adult when you consider real adult anatomy. My 10 year old mixed-race niece was as tall as my 30 year old asian sister-in-law . Because of this, I'm willing to accept if the author wants to tell me a smole person is a 100+ year old character.
That's where the 100+ year argument comes in: I'm willing to give the benefit of doubt and accept the author's words as long as there's no dead give away about the fact that the characters are truly children.
I find maturity and behavior patterns a bit subjective to judge, but I'm willing to trust your good sense.
She's commonly lumped into loli category on internet. There was the famous 'Don't touch the loli' argument between the game studio and the animation studio.havent watched cyberpunk but saw a few clips of rebecca. I wouldn't call her a child or a loli.
It's clear. I think we both agree about body type not being solid evidence to discern adults from literal children.hopefully this made things a bit more clear. I don't even believe these 2 arguments should be lumped together. petite body types and literal children are incomparable to me.
You seem to speak with certainty that most 100+ year old anime characters are literal children from behavior/context. I'm not too well-versed in this trope, but I'd tend to think that it's bad/inconsistent writing if the story doesn't support that fact and convince its credibility.
My initial reasoning was that lolicons could be attracted to body type rather than underage attribute of the loli, but I guess there are definitely cases of people who lust after the children . In those case, I trust you that you can discern those cases and call the BS
