Some 14 year olds are more mature and able to take decisions than some 25 year olds out there.

Generalizations skewed toward western "common sense" and pseudo-science nauseate me.

You keep saying all this anti-western stuff, but ya know those are not Western ideas... right? Those are global ideas.
And there is nothing "pseudo" scientific about the fact that a 14 year old is less emotionally, mentally and physically mature than a 20+ year old. You have to consider averages when making laws and decisions, not every specific case.

When children are forced to mature early, it stumps their development and tends to have repercussions later in life. Of course what a kid can handle varies, but especially decisions regarding sexual topics are completely skewed at that age and mistakes are far more common.

The studies exist already, whether you want to believe them or not is naturally up to you.

^She does it dozens of times in the manga.

Another one! Such a rare sight, these two.

Two crazy women in their past lives turned into qt lizard/reptile girls. While LIz will always belong with squirrel, a snake or two won't harm.

This is slightly better for Kobayashi's poor back I suppose?

What has she done to the cynical drunk Scottish protagonist?! She looks like she has been brainwashed into being... happy?

So if you interlock fingers after they turned sticky... by Madoka... I think I've discovered the 9th circle of sin.

^What you should actually be asking is why there is no Incest tag. :P

Directly from the [How to tame your tsundere] guidebook.

At least they are hiding while doing it...

Photoshop is one hell of a drug.

We can't see if Ruby is using her chompers or just lip-dipping that nape.
My money is on the hickey-train. Ruby seems really gentle here.

Reimu tried to kiss her. That's all that happened.
Being Alice in a ReimuxMarisa doujin is suffering.

That might be nice... Shipper detected.

I bet she gave birth in the position too... ouch.

At this point they just shove each other's mics into the other's mouth, eh?

I was saying that amane doesn't know that. Of course we know that from an outside perspective

You're seriously underselling Amane here. I've been saying it for a while now, but even a blind person could see that Nene was dishonest. As mentioned before, emotionally she understands that those actions are wrong, she just can't express it in words.

This was such a wholesome chapter for Haruko. Loved it.

This has become a very bizarre conversation. IF these were real people [a whole bunch of random ethical/moralizing about what’s OK, not OK, what any given reader would or would not do, would or would not accept, etc., etc., etc.]

Happens a lot when the forum's SJW of PC is involved. (You know who I'm talking about.)

You are seriously the worst. Not only did you not read what I said back then, you also believed White Rose's false summary and accusations (despite a 3rd party pointing out that it was wrong). Nobody here except you believes that I am PC. Quite the opposite actually.

The closer the younger one is to being off age the more acceptable age gaps become usually. Anything above 10 years difference is pretty rought too. It's a rather delicate balance.

Murica aside, there are really no civilized modern first world countries out there who support this kind of age gap in real life. You may get away with it through some loopholes in the law, but it would be culturally frowned upon. I mean, this takes place in Japan and even the Japanese would call this a crime lol
Remember people, age of consent does not mean anyone can get involved a with a kid that age. It means two teenagers of the same age group can consent.

Basically you cannot make a RL legal case for this, but in fiction it just about scrapes by. Especially when the author puts a lot of thought into it and takes it slow.

Obvious you don't change overnight but it can take some time and your partner wont figure it out, its not difficult actually to pretend everything is fine. And its a fine reason, talk about what if you don't like the other person anymore. You are not forced to be with someone just because you were in love sometime.

Okay for the last time: Me saying it's not a good reason and clearly an excuse does not mean that Nene is forced to stay in a relationship with Amane. That is a leap in logic. Even if she has the worst reason ever or even still loves Amane, she still doesn't need to.
It's still terrible and dishonest of her and Amane deserves a better explanation. Because we know that's not the real reason.

You know, despite your insistence that this is fine, relationships can actually be saved. People can talk about their issues and figure it out. Especially when the "I just dont like you anymore" line is a blatant lie.

I do know that you have issues.

Yeah let's stop. We already discussed that stuff before.

That was a fine reason to break up, which obvious is not the truth here because its a story, but in reality is really a good reason you don't need more than stop liking someone

sigh
Aside from the fact that this is not real life and thus we should take narrative structure into consideration either way...

Nene didn't act normal. She acted contradictory. Even a blind person can see that "I don't like you anymore" is not her actual reason. Just as Amane said, you don't change your mind on these things over night. Nene was in love with her and acted like it too... and then suddenly she wants to break up without a talk, without even attempting to express why and just gives her a vague brush aside line.

In real life that is not a fine reason. People actually talk. Try to figure something out.

Wait what? Lol I accept that both options are valid. As usual, just because I have an opinion that you find controversial and mentioned it, you feel like I am saying your opinion is less valid.

Providing an opinion that opposes yours is not the same as saying yours is not ok. It just means I don’t agree with it.

The milder version of "taking space" is definitely fine, but you always exaggerate everything to a ludicrous degree where you force people to point out you are wrong.

I mean no shit sometimes people need to take some distance, but there is no loss of self-respect if you don't...

Of course it doesn’t meant that every time, but is usually associated with being an orbiter and taking longer to get over that person. The person usually values you less also, because they think you are doing stuff because you like them. Are you telling me you never seen these things happen? When I was in school and university it was so regular.

Your "usually" is the issue. Yes, cases like that do happen. The norm though? Not by a longshot.
And again, it doesn't apply to this situation. The one we are actually discussing. The one where you made up things like loss of self-respect for having basic human decency and not losing your shit like a drama queen.

You make a good thing look bad, just because it annoys you that it didn't happen the way you experienced it. I know you tend to have issues with relating to things that don't go your very specific route, but come on.

I think we are done here.
