    Adults can pass for underage people, and underage people can pass for adults.

    Finding people in that range of appearances attractive, is normal.

    Not respecting consent and the mental maturity required to be capable of it, is wrong.

    No normal person is going to sleep with someone while they’re passed out, no matter how legal they are. For the same reason, no normal person is going to sleep with someone incapable of consenting due to the mental immaturity of their brain, no matter how grown up their body appears.

    Their exact age, isn’t the issue. That’s the line drawn by the law. The moral one is more nuanced. As an example, I stopped pursuing someone when I was 19, because even though they were 18, mentally they seemed too young, and I wasn’t ok with that.

    Considering that is in no way a concern with fictional people, depicted in a style that omits age-indicating details, I seriously struggle to understand what it is you take issue with.
