Ok, so your problem is with people likening ANY anime with children to pedos specifically as opposed to anime with actually sexually suggestive content involving children? I ask primarily because you haven’t really elaborated, at all. If the quoted remark made your position clear to me I wouldn’t really need to ask for clarity.

If I seemed combative, I apologize. I appreciate you engaging in good faith. It is a rarer and rarer sight to see on social media.

Yes. I see this sentiment a lot and the sheer stupidity of it exasperates me to no end. Not only does it seem to me like it's a position that arises from people unable to differentiate between fiction and reality, it also irritates me because it actually diminishes the severity of child sexual abuse IRL.

All good, I get how the internet can be sometimes. Appreciate that, your shout out made me glad I did and glad I ignored my instinct to be snarky. Ahhh ok that makes sense, must have been the wording that threw me. Thanks for taking the time to humour me.
