Essentially. It's kind of a fuzzy definition, but it refers to characters who, even if they aren't explicitly stated to be children within the canon of their story, are obviously meant to look/act like children. It's a controversial subject, in part because it's somewhat subjective, and in part because pedophiles don't like being called out
The most controversial example I can think of is this character from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. She has just enormous breasts. Like, half of her body weight is in her chest. Real weird fetish shit. But also, if you take away the frankly disgusting tits, it's literally just a kid
Dudes who like jerking off to her really don't like when you point that out
Animation is so weird when it comes to ages. You get the examples you're talking about where not only does the character look like theyre eight, but act like it too.
The you have things like Brock from pokemon, who was running a gym, was pursuing his pokemon breeding career, traveling the world, and is supposed to be 15?! Ash is supposed to be 10!
Edit: Like could you imagine gangs of 10 year olds roaming the streets assaulting people with animals?!
Yes it’s called DETROIT
I thought Florida but to each their own.
The seemingly nonsensical information in the pokedex, like a pokemon that's hotter than the sun or size to weight ratios calculating out to absurdly high or low densities, actually makes more sense when you realize it's all written by unsupervised ten year old kids who are pulling numbers out of their asses.
No wonder none of the pokemon "professors" talk about their degree or academic institutions, either
