Ok. I'm just now seeing part of the xeno discourse and you know what, it boils down to this

Some people see Pyra and Mythra as adults. Others see Pyra and Mythra as teens. Both parties agree pedophilia is bad (unlike a *third* party whos fine with it - but this isn't about them)

And there seems to be a fundamemtal miscommunication: are they adults or minors.

And there is no canon age equivalent for how many human years old they're supposed to be.

First and foremost: media, for the everloving FUCK please EXPLICITLY define ages in human years.

Now... There are two points of note

- platonically shipping two minors sets off red flags in a world full of pedos, regardless of intentions
- assuming a character is an adult doesn't erase the interpretation they could be minors, nor their canon objectification/sexualisation

Now, what do I think? Are they minors or adults?

Honestly, I don't fucking know anymore. I'm just so fucking sick of ambiguously-aged characters in games and anywhere really.

Make them an adult or make them a minor, and then treat them as such. Don't try & have it both ways ffs

I'm so tired. I *finally* found a queer, leftist xenoblade community and now it's tearing itself apart.

As always, I'm also missing a good chunk of context, because of course I am. But regardless, this whole situation is so frustrating

It seems both sides are calling the other side pedos. And just... fucking communicate what assumptions you make about the content, please.

There are literally people justifying the sexualisation of Poppi and *this* is where the discourse gets ugly?

I swear to fuck if both parties call me a pedo apologist for this shit...

Look, I'm a dumbass. My interpretation ability is hindered. But I fucking try to listen and understand what is meant, and here, just like many other situations, I just fucking can't. I don't understand
