Bara logic #21 
“barely legal” 

btw if you think this offensive to you , you probably need some fresh air and a glass of vodka , go out and have some fun 

Just because a underaged character looks older doesnt excuse you, neither the “bara world” is a excuse, its still pedophilia.

You also have to consider the concept that in Japan, where most Bara is set, that the legal age nationally is technically 13, though some areas it varies to 16-18. Paedophilia also cannot be applied in the context of a sexually mature teenager having consensual sex with another person. It’s not like the teenager doesn’t understand what they are doing. On the other hand, a teacher sleeping with one of their students, however consensual, is still wrong on the fact that it is an abuse of position. This is a grey area, so don’t paint it so black and white, different cultures have different aspects on it. You have to remember that due to shorter life spans and concepts on sexual maturity, it was not long ago in Europe and other places that it was perfectly acceptable for a 13-14 year old was to marry and have children; it is only with recent moral changes due to longer lives and so on that we don’t think this way.
