Would you consider someone a pedophile if they crushed on a fictional character that was a teen or tween?

I catch myself liking anime and cartoon guys or boys and one is like 14 but id never ever dare do something like that irl but i notice its kind of common to crush on fictional characters. What do y'all think?

[anon171999]

Lol no. This is a cartoon. Not a human. Grown adults created the character and script. It's natural that you may be attracted to the traits and certain aspects that they chose to portray.
Is it healthy? Probably not. But it's definitely not pedophilia.

[Starla1234]

Haha don’t worry they’re fictional characters. It’s not like you are going to go make out with a real life 14 year old boy

[Vivaldi]

A 14 year old male would be very happy to sleep with an adult woman. Lol.

Mmmm……. It’s fine. It’s like naming an unknown creature based on something they aren’t related to in any way. Like, yeah cats and fish are animals but besides that I don’t recall them actually being related

[slatyb]

No, that's absurd. Pedophilia is an attraction to pre-pubescent children.

"its kind of common to crush on fictional characters"
No it's not.

But no, I don't think you're a pedophile. It's just a cartoon character. Even if you are, so what? Gays can't do anything about their sexual attraction, neither can pedophiles.

I consider a peodphile someone that fetishes someone because of their age. If you have a crush on them because they are 14 , I would consider you to be a pedophile.

[kyleelyn199723]

And when I mean fetish of their age, I mean fetishing of someone that generally looks young and innocent. That’s what pedophiles do is they are attracted to the fact that they still look like kids (because they are kids)

[awesomehairstylist]

so if I smell and jerk off to my daughter's panties is that being a pedophile?

[kyleelyn199723]

@awesomehairstylist you know the answer to that already sir

[awesomehairstylist]

honestly I'm a single dad and you have no idea what we do so

[kyleelyn199723]

Don’t care. Bye

[Asker]

I like deku from my hero academia but i heard a lot of girls fan girl over him but it's not something common i just found him cute but i get where you're coming from

[Asker]

Tbh i didn't think much of it because he isn't a real person just a character from an anime.

[kyleelyn199723]

If you find him cute, that’s one thing, but if you find him sexually attractive that’s a whole other ball game of pedophilia

[Leonharted]

It's a cartoon. I think you're ok. Now, if you're attracted to real 14 year old boys, then you've got a problem.

[jshm2]

You seriously need better things to worry about, kiddo.

[Wise4myage]

I say its fine as long as you keep it a fantasy, and its not like these are real people.

[Sabretooth]

it depends. I like a Tayuya and Laura Kenny from X-Men Evolution but, I only jerk off to grown up versions.

[Fuentes]

I think its seen as more weird that ur attracted to adults

[awesomehairstylist]

well I have a crush on mine 15-year-old daughter is that being a pedophile?

[Vivaldi]

Your daughter?

[Anonymous]

Nahhh you can have fantasies about Junior High girls all you want, just keep the real world and fantasies separate.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

I mean I guess but who fucking cares?

[EnglishEuropean]

It's not a real person, so no.

[lycanthrope3]

Nope
