>>13739441I wasn't home schooled. I went to a large public school district for the entirety of my gradeschool education. I was 11 when RS came out and compared May's body to my classmates, who were all older. May had them beat.
I am in my early 20s. The environment I'm in surrounds me with people of a similar age group. With this established, May has a more developed body than the girls my age that I encounter on a daily basis.
Why can this "ten-year-old" be compared to college students? Anime.
It's not just the body, either.
Why is she not a bitch, despite being a "preteen girl"? Anime.
That's why the whole "she's ten, you sick fuck" thing bothers me.
Why is she able to travel alone responsibly, despite being "ten"? Anime. FICTION.
Many of May's attractive qualities stem from the fact that she's fictional and doesn't share every quality with a real-life child (and many of the adult women I encounter on a daily basis. I'd like to see one of the sluts who live next door try to survive in the wilderness). Now if I started finding real ten-year-olds as attractive as I find May, there would be a huge fucking problem. But I don't, and there isn't. If age was the defining factor behind why this character is so beloved, I'd be worried. But it's not.
Furthermore, my attraction for the character spans nearly a decade. She doesn't age. The people I grew up with did. They people I continued to find attractive for many, many years aged. As they aged, I was still attracted to them. I did not remain fixated on what they looked like when they were ten or eleven. There's a fine line between my attraction to real women and my attraction to fictional ones.
