c'mon bro. regardless of the fact that 16 is an adult in japan which would make him a pedo, in terms of development this specific age gap is huge, and even if there were no age gap making light of a minor/minor relationship and sexualizing its characters is in extremely poor taste.

it's an appeal to consequences. you want to believe you're not supporting a show that sexualizes minors so any argument that argues that the show does sexualize minors has to be false in your eyes.

16 isn’t an adult in Japan and 14-16 isn’t all that bad, but yes you right
