I really like the artstyle in WoW and often use it as reference.

Have you tried actually comparing game assets from different versions side-by-side?

supposed to be hundreds or even thousands of years old and that somehow magically makes it not weird or creepy to view this character sexually

And what do you think about irl people who are in their late 20s or 30s and look like teenagers?

and act like a child

I don’t really remember any examples of hundreds year old loli vampires that actually act like kids. Shinobu certainly isn’t one. I didn’t include anything like this because OP specifically asks for adult appearances though.

Is it ok to have preference for blondes or redheads or tall or slim? I think most people will agree it’s ok. Now, do you consider it ok to have preference (including sexual attraction) for youthful looks, in case it’s limited to people who are actually adult?

Doesn’t change my opinion on fictional characters that are made to look like children when making them look older has absolutely no effect on the story.

In anime people also care about visuals, not only the story. Making certain characters have youthful looks is done to appeal to people who have preference for youthful looks, sometimes including sexual preference, and you also seem to agree it’s absolutely legitimate preference to have in case it’s limited to actual adults. The visual difference between “looking like children” and “having youthful looks” can be quite a subjective one, and that’s where everyone draws the line for themselves.

I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I’ll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.

Had a relevant conversation nearby recently: https://ani.social/post/5729640/6253450

By the way, imagine how Piper Perry would look if she was drawn as anime character. Would you consider that extreme lolicon? She’s almost 30 y/o and that is absolutely legal even in real porn.

I’m pretty much happy with conversations I see here. Plenty of quality discussion threads in AskLemmy, Gaming and Technology and Anime. Would be nice to see even more ofc, but Lemmy’s not that big yet I guess. Questions is something that often starts interesting discussions.

To be fair, they were smart enough to get some exposure even without accepting the deal. This is not the first place I see this discussion and some people are definitely going to check their stuff now out of curiosity.
