Either way, a fair response. Also, no, I am saying mostly I wouldn't meet an opinion with hostility as, as you put it, I remembered where I was posting and I'm personally choosing to not be hostile anymore.
>It matters when the sites rule is new cause look where tumblr ended up. Shit like that better be sorted at the sites inception unless theres a damn good reason to do it now. If DA's rules have always been like this and its just now they've decided to start enforcing it then yes, any artist posting canonically underage characters is paying the piper. That said I don't think that it was just enforcing things but rather broadening the definition so stuff that was fine before is not anymore.
Again fair point. Also Tumblr outright banned porn altogether, did they not? I don't recall if DA did. That was because Tumblr got bought by...yahoo? I don't remember. It's been forever since I looked at that site. Regardless, technically my point still stands. 'New' rule or not, there was always some sort of 'underage' rule and the rule 'you cannot just 'age up' your characters.' Or something like that. At the end of the day it's their site, and if it causes the ship to sink, that's really on them, is it not? If the sites mods don't like it, that isn't up to us to say 'You shouldn't do that, we're going to take a stand against you'. Again, like I said, DA is pretty trash to begin with anymore.
>Yeah I don't know where you got me saying its not porn from
I misunderstood you then, I apologize.
>You said it yourself, a lot of anime characters look like they should be adults. If they look the same as characters that're adults then there is literally no difference and no issue unless you try to change the context so that they aren't adults.
>Up to the individual. If you think a drawn character looks like an adult then it probably is one. If you think its not, respond in whatever way you like but be prepared to deal with people who will argue otherwise.
I have to disagree with you here simply on the premise of what I've already said. Looks aside, plenty of official canon, or the character themselves state they're under 18. That's where my brain goes 'Yea okay I'm not looking at you like that, then' and sure, that's just my perspective. But the point is you can't just pretend they're an adult because they look like one while the character themselves say 'I'm 15'. But, again, it's a moot point because they shouldn't be drawn to look so mature in the first place.
Either way, I'm not directly debating you as much as I'm just stating my opinion. I used gopher as an example but I've seen plenty of other art that depicts underaged characters in similar ways and I personally find it disgusting.
I think at the end of the day my whole thing is...Why do people loudly proclaim so hard they like underage characters? Like, see above 'loli tickling is based'.
I just find it personally really fucking weird to say, with your chest, 'I like seeing characters that look like kids/are underaged in sexual settings'
That's all.

Okay but I've seen plenty of models or drawing of underage characters where they DO look like children. Granted, again, they're not real people, that's still weird as hell to me. So what you're saying is that if an artist draws a realistic looking child in a fetish based setting, it's okay? If that child isn't real? Even if the picture looks like someone that exists but they don't?
Again, that's why I'm asking, where's the line?
