Ive been thinking (unfortunately) about some things.
So antis know that children cant consent, and they apply the same standard to fictional children. But it completely ignores /why/ children cant consent. Children cant consent bc they typically lack both the physical development, knowledge, and life experience required to make an informed decision. /Fictional/ children cant consent because they aren't real, and same goes for fictional adults. Physical development isnt a factor bc they arent real, and experience can just be made up bc they still aren't real. They also can't be harmed bc yknow. They arent real. Harm done onto a fictional characters isnt comparable to harm done to a real person, and implying that it is also implying that the life of a fictional character is of the same value as a real person.
Things that feel super obvious when i say them out loud but shit. Some people are so incredibly dense.
