ichaichacopynin replied to your post: Sarada is a literal child what is wrong with you?
(( just want to add a fun fact. Legal age of concent in Japan is 13. So this is also a cultural thing. Sorry for poking in on this. :3 *Goes back to hiding.* ))
[[ Exactly, Tai. Antis who think fiction=reality really need to step the hell away from fiction if it supposedly influences them that badly. Also I hear the age of consent differs between districts/areas but is usually thirteen.
There’s also the actual cultural context of Naruto to consider. In the Naruto world, a genin is considered a working adult. They’re in the workforce, and they don’t get paid unless they do missions. Moegi highlights this.
I also see tons of Hokage!Naruto/Sarada fanart and Adult!Sasuke/Boruto fanart, and Boruto isn’t even aged up in most of it. No one makes a big fuss out of it, and not once in my original post did I even mention Sarada’s age lmao. ]]
