    Is Rem one of those characters? She has breasts and wide hips that are visible in this image. I guess cute faces mean people are 9 now. You could have said 15 or something and I’d agree that’s understandable, but 9? C’mon lol

      I’m sorry, I can’t post images bcs of a bug, but I urge you to google images 9 year old, 15 year old and 20 year old women and compare them with the pic in the meme… I don’t care much for what weebs use to signify age in anime characters because that’s a standard within an industry that heavily fetishises childish characteristics in women in general. If a sexualized character looks more like a real kid than a real woman, it’s a problem.

      Also “she’s an older kid, c’mon” doesn’t help the case even a percentage point.

        My initial point was that you either can’t tell her age or are lying about it. I still believe that to be true. Anyone being honest with themselves based on the entire character’s appearance would think she is a teenager or an adult. Saying she’s 9 ignores most of her appearance and is a warped viewpoint. So I don’t agree with you at all. And it’s pretty clear you’ll never agree with me.

          pls pull up images of real people and compare. Alternatively show to people around you who don’t engage with anime stuff and ask them to estimate.

          I get our standards are different bcs I don’t care for the artstyle (I also don’t know “the entire character’s appearance”, I see what’s in front of me), but you have to realise mine is prolly the majority viewpoint outside terminally online spaces - you can test that, do it.
