Okay serious question.

I have an upscaled version of this as my desktop background.
I don't rub to it, I simply find it cute as.
The three individuals are all, like, 12.

Oh, and the one on the right is a boy.

Am I a pedophile?

No you are just a fan of anime.
Pity they're two names for the same thing though.

They don't look 12 to me so nothing pedophilic about it IMO. Maybe a bit disturbing given that the dude is wearing a FUCKING DRESS!!!

It's just a picture, who cares. As long as you're not into real 12 year olds there's no problem.

But seriously, as Havoc said, they don't even look twelve, and when dealing with things that don't exist, it's really only the look that matters.
Other anime gets much, much worse though, in terms of the pedo department, but I guess, after seeing a cartoon about karaoke mermaids who battle by singing, there's anime for everything.

If you don't shlick to the pic, what is the problem. You obviously aren't sexually attracted to it, and if you were, the above posts apply.

OP:

Yes.
if that boy was real, about 6 years older and still wore skirts like that, I'd rape his ass

It's kinda funny what happens to him, really.

He has this kid-crush on this girls' older sister, but the girl's a total bitch and is all GTFO. So the other sister, the dumb one, helps him crossdress and fit in. This works until boy realizes he's actually out window-shopping for women's clothing.

This continues to spiral until he's found a pile of abandon fetishwear on the riverside. Next ep is him in a maid outfit with little frilly socks and everything. It's awesome.

Key to the whole issue is that the figures are not depicted in a sexual way, and you don’t find them sexual in any way. You have nothing to worry about. Nothing based on your liking this image, anyway.

It's fine, it's just an anime, but...where the f*** do you see a boy here?:fuzconf:

The one on the right. Makoto.

the one with no ti-

:confused:...right...it doesn't seem a boy, BUT as I know japanese culture, he's definitely a boy, that like girls, but like to walk around in a dress...right?:fuzconf:

This is basically how he/she comes to be in the first season. Sorry about shitty-small-subtitles.

Oh, just like real life.

Edit: The lack of realism in anything is what makes me avoid most anime.

In Australia you'd be a paedophile. Hell, last week a guy was convicted of possessing child pornography because he had pictures of Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson getting it on.



*avoids making the obvious joke about you-know-who doing you-know-what with what's-his-name*

Uhm. Well. Hm.
That's a little strict, ain't it?

I wonder what an American cop would do.

Don't worry everyone, I can ignore cute things with a skill I learned in Tibet.

How can you tell? They're mutants! Cute, disproportional mutants!

Well, yes. But our mind is simple, and still sees people.

(.)(.)
These look like boobs. Our mind just makes that connection.
It's similar. The eyes are really fucking big though.

actually, these look like boobs. ( o Y o )

anyways, they all look like chicks to me, and I doubt that makes you a pedo. aslong as you dont masturbate to it, it's all good.

Sooooooo....
If I was a pedo, but for girls, I'm fine?

guys can't be pedo's, that wouldn't be hot. But girls as pedophiles, that works. :D

I have masturbated to this image. What does this make me?

uhm. depends.

A 4channer.

yeah. anyways..

Aww...why can't I be a transvestite?

Well, if you work hard at school, maybe one day, you know… After your exams…

Bored and maybe somewhat sticky ??? :confused:

My theory was proved. ;)

Transvestitism is normal in Japanese culture.

Transvestitism should be normal in all cultures.

Normal? Probably not. Birth rates would plummet. Accepted, of course.

I think you're confusing transvestism with transsexualism. Unless of course, I'm missing something glaringly obvious about increased numbers of transvestites.

Alcar.

The two are often confused, indeed.

Yes, um....funny.

However if transvestism was normal, then female clothes would be the normal male clothing and male clothing would be the normal female clothing. Thus meaning female clothes would no longer be female clothes, as women would not wear them, so they would be male clothes instead and vice versa for women/male clothing, meaning men would still be wearing men's clothes and women still wearing womens clothes. Therefore meaning transvesitism by its very nature cannot be the norm.

Check and mate sir.

It can, just so long as everybody swaps frequently enough for them to remember the time when it was the other way around.

Alternatively, the thing all cultures should have is ‘androgynvestism’.

It is, have you heard of metros?

But seriously, our world is confusing enough already with boys with long hair cuts and girls with the lack of any hair to cut altogether.
