Flonne from Disgaea being 1000+ years old but looking 14.
They are still Pedobait in most peoples eyes because of how young they look.

Vipershark, Saying Kotana is 18 while she looks 8 is like Flonne from Disgaea being 1000+ years old but looking 14.

ages in cartoons =/= ages in real life

thanks, you're helping me prove my point
she might look 8, but she isn't 8.

...she looks like an 8 year old and acts younger then her "age".

but uh
she doesn't act 8

I never said she acted 8 years old by "age" I mean 18.

she acts younger then 18

she is not 18 regardless of what her creator says because thats not how cartoons work.

That is my point which actually proves your point wrong.

i didnt really read any of this thread

okay so what exactly classifies as "acting 18"
and in what way does she act younger than 18


also waitwaitwait what
"...she is not 18 regardless of what her creator says"
what kind of sense does that make
her creator CREATED her to be 18. Pretty sure that makes her 18, whether she looks like it or not, because she was CREATED to be so.

not to mention that it's definitely not uncommon for people to look younger than they actually are irl (and yes, it's definitely possible for teenagers to look like kids)

just wondering, have you actually watched the show/read the manga?

Actually I have Timotei~ (I read it a long time ago before many people have heard about it and starting to weeaboo all over it. I remember bits and pieces of it.)

And yes Teens can still look like kids but for those in their LATE TEENS would not look like an 8 year old. Also acting 18 means you don't act like a 14 year old. If she was a tad bit more mature acting then maybe I could see it. (Also I DARE you to find me an 18 year old that looks like an 8 year old. They can't have dwarfism and it has to be someone well known enough to know the age of if you were to google it. Also it can't be that girl who permanently stayed a baby either.)

Also what makes her not 18 the most is that you wouldn't be able to tell without that episode over her turning 18. When developing a character you have to keep in mind that whatever age your viewers perceive the character is their age, regardless of what you say otherwise. Sure she might be 18 in facts but in fans she is pedobait regardless.

Actually, it's definitely possible irl, but pretty uncommon. But since I don't feel like googling and irl people have nothing to do with the discussion, I won't pursue that point any further.

Aside from her being a senior in high school, having a job, playing adult-only video games, and them actually saying it (outside of her birthday episode)?

When developing a character you have to keep in mind that whatever age your viewers perceive the character is their age, regardless of what you say otherwise. Sure she might be 18 in facts but in fans she is pedobait regardless.

Fan perception =/= the creator's canon. Plain and simple.

Basically, the whole issue suffers from a bad case of Values Dissonance.
