Yeah, I know it's kind of weird but seriously think about it. The boy is not a little boy. OK he died in his previous life. He was already grown. It's just that his body needs time to adjust and grow into. so I'm not trying to defend like pedophilia or some thing but they didn't even do anything right now but even if they do do something in the future it's not weird is that is the point I'm trying to make

@SPL I understand where you are going, however, regardless of him actually being an adult or however centuries old, it does not change the fact that he is currently portrayed as a child. Not a small man. A child. He is addressed as such by the humans as well as the demons (the scholar and fox). The story and art are beautiful but it should be pointed out that the jokes of a sexual nature (talking about and touching "manhood") and being his consort are weird. The dialogue could have easily been saved for when he is portrayed as adult with no impact to the story whatsoever. It was used for comedy, but portraying childlike characters this way is harmful as it normalizes this behavior.
also FYI this is a think piece more than direct conversation with the original comment. It's been 2 years and they may not care but for anyone willing to read it, you don't have to hate something to call out when it has weird moments. This was weird
