What are the age gaps that make you pedo for immortals or other such things for example a cultivator over 200 years old dating a 30 year old pedo or no?
The extent of the age gap doesn't have as much to do with paedophilia as the documented age of the parties involved does.
For me this is the criteria : Immortals : The 300 years old immortal is dating the human that is already an adult and is at least in their 20s (dating the human as they turn 18? Hell nah) THEY SHOULD'T 'RAISE' THE HUMAN AND THEN DATE THEM CUZ WTF Dating the human when they are in their teenage years (15-17years old) is a red flag for me Mortals: Due to my personal preference, I find age gaps more than 7-8 years weird even if they meet when they adult A 25 year old dating a 18 year old???? Hell no. Even though the difference is 7 years it's still unacceptable because the 18 year old is still not developed mentally. In my opinion, no. The cultivator probably spent most of the time meditating anyway.
Once they are matured and not in infancy, pedophilia is not the term. The gap could be millenniums but it's still not pedo. If say its a different species and it's maturity age is different than yeah, If the older one is an adult and the other is still an teen or infant then it's pedo.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is a common practice in real cultivation worlds, it's so hard to come by quality cultivation furnaces that it's economically viable to farm one yourself. is definitely a huge industry in the black market. They'd still be in their mid 20's then. >.> If the "you" refers to another underdeveloped child. Pretty sure most of the bunch here are past the "underdeveloped" age.
Maturity issue? The problem with large age gaps is that there can still be an unhealthy power dynamic even when the relationship is between adults. In other words, if the cultivator has spent hundreds of year meditating in a cave, they probably have less real life experience and a mental age that is closer to their partner. (To me this is why 30s+ who date 18 yos or early 20s are super sus. Either this person is preying or they got major maturity issues and can’t get with someone over 25 )
look man, once a person reaches physical maturity, which happens at 18-20, calling any large gap pedo shit is off the table. Age gaps matter fuck-all after that point Anyone who says differently is just being a dumbass and complicating simple matters just because it doesn't FEEL right to their fragile sensibilities
you can be 40 and not be a "proper adult" so whats your point? Plenty of older men and women above 30 are immature as fuck and make piss poor choices all the time. Should it be pedo shit just because their judgment is obviously questionable? Thats why mental maturity matters fuck-all. The only way things are gonna change is if you devise a test. Wanna fuck? Show me your Maturity card.
LoL inter-species relationships screw the concept of pedophilia hard. A race of beast kin that matures quickly and only live for a few decades would be fair game at a relatively young age. Conversely a long lived race like elves could be potentially older then your grandmother and still be considered jailbait. xD
But by your logic if they have major maturity issues then there's no issue with them dating teenagers.
Paedophilia is when an adult has sexual feelings directed towards children. That's why there are many stories of a circle where paedophiles groom children to be able to have sex with them, abandon said children once they no longer look the age preferred by the paedophiles, and then look for new victims. So, yeah, as the others have said, the age gap doesn't matter at all. It's not what makes a pedo a pedo. Sure, there might be power dynamic issues between couples with a large age gap but that's a different matter altogether. The same goes in regards to maturity versus actual age argument. Some people never matured at all. Some people matured before puberty. How do you even measure maturity? Is there a card anyone can have once they have a certain level of maturity? True
i always found that shit dumb, cuz even if the legal age for an elf is 500, a 100 year old elf who has no distinction between an adult human, is of sound mind and is proven to be a good decision-maker...is still considered a child? Yeah, that's nonsense. Physical maturity is the most important. Mental maturity is a great bonus. After a certain point, your physical AGE shouldn't matter anymore. Especially for these long lived races Its only makes sense to make a fuss over this if they GROW slow. Life if you're still an infant for like 20 years
depends on the world building, the setting and the customs of the world. If a novel has the age of marriage as 12-14-16-18, if it is followed properly - I don't have any issue with that. I don't unnecessarily insert my modern time thinking and other BS into a fantasy that's set in a different time period and with different customs. Just stick to your rules that you set for your world
