Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

I have been saying that all along. The problem is not the supposed age that appears in the wiki. The problem is how the character is coded. Which is way i don't care if someone sexualizes Jotaro (17) but i hate someone sexualizing Kanna from Dragon Maid (800 years or something like that).
Tbh I will be judging someone for sexualizing 17 year old Jotaro when the adult version is right there.
Also 17 year old jotaro acts like a arrogant teenager and part 3 is his coming of age story where he learns to better control his emotions.
Like he's literally meant to be a immature child compared to avdol, polnareff and his grandfather.
Child characters are children and are meant to be taken as children.
Fair enough.
Ok but you don't seem to be recognizing that the way a character is written, how they navigate life and what they're doing in their life, is part of that coding. You seem to think that if you look at a picture of someone and you're like "yeah I guess they could be at least 18" then there's no problem talking about how much you want to bang them, no matter who they are or how much you actually know about those details.
It's very, very easy to argue that "actually this character is coded as an 18 year old" and they look and act exactly like my 14 year old sister. It's also very easy to willfully ignore that the author of whatever work drew them intending them to read more like my 14 year old sister than an 18 year old because there's no way to prove it. You know it when you see it. Which for someone like me elicits an ick response, and then someone like you goes all
"well actually she's just a cartoon so she doesn't have an age"
To be honest, there's not that much difference physically between, like, a 14 year old, and a 16 year old, and an 18 year old. They're all kids. If you're like 30 and watching porn of real 18 year olds or cartoon 18 year olds or any 18 year olds you're a fuckin freak too.
I did mean all that when i said coded, my bad if it seemed as if i only meant their appearance.
Also you second paragraph is all over the place, literally my entire point is that cartoons ages are fake and that's why the important issue is their coding, not the age given to them by the author (which applies to both a minor coded character who is an adult and viceversa).
Also, hell no, 14-16-18 are all children, but there definitely are physical differences between them.
Okay dude, let's play this game. How can you tell an 18 year old boy from a 14 year old boy? I can show you a 6'5" bearded bodybuilder and a 5'4" scrawny nerd kid and ask you "which one is the 14 year old and which one is the 18 year old" how confident are you that you'd get it right
Seriously? You are going after outliers because i said the obvious point that 14 and 18 year olds look different????
Outliers? That implies they're rare. Every class of 14 year old boys has at least one kid with a full beard, at least in my experience. There's a lot of lil bearded teens out there. I asked you a question, how can you tell an 18 year old boy from a 14 year old boy?
Also, are you suggesting that it is okay to sexualize the 14 year old bearded bodybuilder because he's an "outlier" and you wouldn't expect him to be 14, or are you going to dodge this question with a handwave and performative indignation too?
