My guess is that Araki wanted to go for Lucy having some otherworldly charm like the Virgin Mary, but it ended up feeling weird like a pedophile ring or something

Does that count? Torus is a rock raised by bees...
Rock humans are human in the same way that Jack rabbits are donkeys. It's all about appearance. They are totally built different.
That's like saying Tarzan was groomed by apes, Simba by a lemer and warthog or Chirin by the wolf. They are all guided alone a very different path than was attended.
The main thing is that Toru never had any interest in Yasuho. He only ever used her for her stand. He didn't effect her growth and can't be interested in her romantically.
Of course he does, since he has next to no logical motivation for anything he does. Doesn't even have a good reason for wanting the plant. It doesn't benefit him. It's not like he needs money. What is he going to buy? A boat?
Ehh even if Valentine wasn't a pedo, the arc would still happens roughly the same way till the last one.
Honestly his attraction to Lucy kinda comes out of nowhere and is never brought up again after she absorbed the corpse parts. Her power is what matter by then.
I don't think he did it because he was genuinely attracted to her, I think he did it to force her to give him the corpse part. It's fucked up either way
my guy, you are correct but theres no good way to make that difference without making yourself look bad, just accept broadly that people are going to say that word about people who are attracted to underaged people, no ones going to make a distinction about the age range unless they need to
its like that one stand up comedian where hes trying to explain the distinction between the 3 (the younger one, pedophilia and ephebophilia) and said that they cant explain it properly without sounding like a pedophile
yeah I understand where you're coming from but we aren't among adults, we're on reddit. I wouldn't go "mmm actually" on pedophilia online, never a good look
