    “But she’s a 500 year old [dragon/elf/vampire/etc] in human form, it’s fine bro.”

    Looks like a child, acts like a child, would be considered a child by their own culture/species: That’s a child bro.

    I’d like to say I’ve never had that conversation but I have.

    “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” was fine (though not everyone’s cup of tea) until they started to sexualize the minors (which was basically at the introduction of the child “dragon”). Then I stopped watching it. And from what I hear, I picked a good spot to stop watching as it only got worse from there in regards to the minor characters.

    EDIT: I should probably clarify for those that think I support that kind of content, I do not.

      It’s been awhile since I watched Dragon Maid but I don’t recall that happening with her, maybe I blacked it out. Well there was the other child that was obsessed with her, I just don’t remember anything sexual. I do know that the relationship between the older big tiddy dragon and that boy feels innapropriate. I remembered while writing there is another child dragon with what I would describe as “bodankahonkaroos”. Maybe you’re right. I also think I recall the mangaka making porn of their characters to boost popularity.

      Anime can have relationships between minors without oversexualization, even if that is what the characters are feeling.
