It is but that doesn’t stop people from doing things like putting ships of a minor x adult in a show because it’s not technically pornographic and someone thinking it’s okay
Now that’s a part of the point. Like I said someone could read a book or watch a show with something bad in it and think “lol this person I liked did it that means I can too”
I’m saying that if there’s something like a minor x adult ship that’s being justified by the person because “fiction doesn’t effect reality” Im trying to say that it does, because a minor could see it and feel like it’s okay to be groomed. I have a friend who was being groomed for a while because he saw it in an anime once (hs!student x teacher) and he thought it was okay. He was being groomed (irl + online) at the age of 14 by 30+ year old men
