It's used interchangeably and has kind of lost its original meaning due to the way people have warped it, in the same vein as the term hentai having originally meant "pervert" (and still does where the word actually comes from) but now meaning you know what here in the west.

He does it in pretty much every early chapter, especially the first.
I like the series for how casually destructive the characters are and the world building, so I wish Nabaka would get rid of that kind of shit regardless of the character ages. It's not really about it being sexualisation or anything (idc about that shit), just that it's a strange portrayal.

Wow, that's so funny and makes Meliodas look like such a relatable and endearing character!

It's so weird how such a concerningly large portion of society can't just be rational and sane human beings. In media, things have shifted so far one direction, that on either side of the spectrum, it's either "Look at a woman and you're a sex offender" or "Women are objects of sex", and it seems LESS common to find the middle-ground at this point...

Furthermore, so much bias has been created and intensified in these beliefs, that if you say one thing that contradicts an aspect of how someone thinks, they automatically believe you're on "that side". If I were to try to explain why I don't think it's harassment to talk to a woman, I could be called a perverted incel or something, whereas if I explain why I don't think women should be treated like they exist only for sexual gratification and the like, I'm now apparently apart of the "Weak woke herd" that will be crushed under the wave of "Chad sigma's" in the great revolution (being typed by a 300 pound Redditor probably).
Anyways I'm gonna cut my tirade short because I forgot what this thread was meant for, for a second.

All fair. Personally my main gripe was never within the weird sexual shit actually (that was the second main gripe), it was in the lack of emotionally compelling story and generally bland, generic, predictable characters. From the perspective of "action" which is what people typically come to Shonen for, it's not bad, but that's pretty much the only thing it has going for it, and that's not nearly enough for me. Even Dragon Ball has more depth and complexity, and that's saying a **** ton.
And the humor is just terrible.

Tbh I don't know why NTN became mainstream level at all. Its popularity dwarfed some actually amazing anime. Even Mob Psycho never really compared to NTN's peak despite being leaps and bounds better, even from a more objective rather than subjective standpoint. My main guess is that NTN has a lot of powercliffing and big spectacle type battles, which I guess can really get people THAT hyped.

i mean, every country has the dark side of its culture, it’s not strange.

Barring Merlin's weird power creep, I have to disagree until the ~end of the series.
The power-ups actually make a lot of sense in context and are very well set up/integrated into canon, especially in Gowther and King's case.
However, Escanor, Ban and Meliodas gain an illogical amount of strength near the end of the series.

Not just a pedo, but one whom clearly incorporates some of his "tastes" into his works and probably thinks it's perfectly normal. Healthy, even.

i have a feeling that Ikemoto is SCREAMING of happeniness bc he’ll finally be able to sexualize Sarada as he always wanted, since she is an “adult” now lol
her cover pages makes me wanna di3

Kind of but I think it's exaggerated. It's gotten to the point where there are a lot of people that genuinely think Japan is just straight-up a pedophile country, which is not only absurdly wrong, but obscenely disrespectful. It has also led to massive misconceptions about laws, with many westerners actually believing the AoC is 13, which isn't the truth and taking it out of context completely. The hard truth a lot of us American's don't seem to want to accept is that Japan's views on the matter aren't very much different from ours here in America, which is shown by their AoC laws, ironically, being closest to America's. I think the big difference is that the view on pedophilia and any related subjects varies massively. Here in America, having it be public knowledge is practically a social death sentence. In Japan, it's just viewed a weird thing some people have, but actually committing any sexual actions upon children is still immensely frowned upon across the whole country and a significant crime, it's just not treated as badly as it is here, though, in the actual justice system and not the judgement of the common public, it's arguably the other way around, but this really ain't the place for that discussion. So again, I digress.

I've always loathed Boruto and its existence so tbh I'm indifferent to it.

sorry to say this but the rest of the world would not think like that if they create laws to prohibit this kind of animation.

I wouldn't even include Zeldris and Gelda. Zeldris looks like a buff 14 year old, despite being 252 physically.
Possibly at least 7-C.

I don't know about that one chief. I think there are only a handful of countries falling under that category. It's only in the rather recent century or so that these ideas about child laws really began to fall into place, for a long time there were barely any laws regarding the subject, and even in modern society there are many millions of people that disagree with current laws but don't voice their opinions out of a rightful fear of rejection.

man, pedophilia is not like something we can just give people time to “forget” it.
if anything has to be done, it has to be done NOW.
If you (not really you, just an example please dont get me wrong) can’t live in a world with prohibited lolis, theres a problem with you
- 7,196

I agree. The problem doesn't lie within any actual harm to someone being done, just the implications it could have of the author writing the story. I won't sit here and explain all my little opinions on the intricacies of the problems I interpret in it, because to be honest it would probably come off as virtue signaling, and I really hate virtue signaling. I speak honestly, not for people to like me, whereas if I have a belief I know the majority of people will disagree with, I'll probably stay silent about it as I'd rather not bother with a group of people trying to argue with me at the same time, knowing the discussion likely wouldn't go anywhere.

Ok, no more convos about pedos.
It's 50/50, let's be honest, especially in the early series.

Tatsumaki has always very blatantly just been a short person, or a "midget", if you will. It's been said many times and the WC version displays that best (she barely even classifies as one though). The only times where Tatsumaki has been addressed as a child is by Saitama, sarcastically, for the sake of insulting her. And if people think midgets look like children, that's a whole other problem entirely, tbh, and makes me think they haven't had much of a social life.
