By the way, imagine how Piper Perry would look if she was drawn as anime character. Would you consider that extreme lolicon? She's almost 30 y/o and that is absolutely legal even in real porn.

I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.
Doesn’t change my opinion on fictional characters that are made to look like children when making them look older has absolutely no effect on the story.
In anime people also care about visuals, not only the story. Making certain characters have youthful looks is done to appeal to people who have preference for youthful looks, sometimes including sexual preference, and you also seem to agree it's absolutely legitimate preference to have in case it's limited to actual adults. The visual difference between "looking like children" and "having youthful looks" can be quite a subjective one, and that's where everyone draws the line for themselves.
Is it ok to have preference for blondes or redheads or tall or slim? I think most people will agree it's ok. Now, do you consider it ok to have preference (including sexual attraction) for youthful looks, in case it's limited to people who are actually adult?
and act like a child
I don't really remember any examples of hundreds year old loli vampires that actually act like kids. Shinobu certainly isn't one. I didn't include anything like this because OP specifically asks for adult appearances though.
supposed to be hundreds or even thousands of years old and that somehow magically makes it not weird or creepy to view this character sexually
And what do you think about irl people who are in their late 20s or 30s and look like teenagers?
I really like the artstyle in WoW and often use it as reference.
Have you tried actually comparing game assets from different versions side-by-side?
Big movie industry seems to be one of the most rigid forms of media. Every time I notice the same cinematic/presentational tricks used again and again to invoke the same feelings/emotions in viewer. This is visible in movies themselves but in teasers/trailers it's done in some kind of heavyweight refined form. Minecraft deserves better than those overused formulas.
Why not? It's still mostly adult.

I'm pretty much happy with conversations I see here. Plenty of quality discussion threads in AskLemmy, Gaming and Technology and Anime. Would be nice to see even more ofc, but Lemmy's not that big yet I guess. Questions is something that often starts interesting discussions.
