Just thought I’d weigh in on this discussion. I’ll admit that Lauren and the MC look on the young side, but I’ve never intended for them to be younger than 18. I teach a class once a week to students that are 17-18 yrs old. I tried to make sure their characters would look like they belong in that class. There are certainly 18 yr old students in that class that could pass for 25, and 18 yr old students that could pass for 16. There is still such a range of physical maturity in 18 yr olds. I skewed Ryan and Lauren to the younger side so that Jacky could look like she could still conceivably be their mother. I think it’s easy to forget how young 18 yr olds can actually look if we’re not around them very much. High schoolers on tv are always played by 20 something actors, and sometimes even actors in their 30’s. A lot of the 18 yr old pornstars have had boob jobs to make them look more physically mature, not to mention makeup tricks that make women look older. I’m completely against sex with children, and I understand where people are coming from when they say my characters look young. Just know that there’s no intention whatsoever for them to be thought of as younger than 18.
Hi,
Glad you're with us, but for my part, I did not need these clarifications. I make a big difference between how people and characters look, and whether or not they're really in the case of a game, or the role they play for actors for example. It was not my intention to make such accusations about your intentions. I was simply expressing my feelings about their physical aspects. What you say is perfectly correct. Some people may look much younger than they are, while others look older. I had classmates in high school and college who were also in this situation. Regarding the actors / performers, it's still a level above, and in the porn industry it's worse than what you describe, because there are a lot of slippages. And to be clear, I perfectly know what a lolicone is, and its origins. A "name" which seems to be pejorative for some people, which is none other than the designation of a girl with a small structure and who gives the impression of being younger than her age. Some of your characters are on the edge, but again, it's only a matter of appearance and perception, perception which is only personal vision. Also, I don't see the problem. We all have different tastes. Some prefer the big ones, and others the small ones etc... So what?
Don't worry too much about all those comments. These are just discussions between people who will never agree on the taste of pizza, or on the color they prefer.
On the other hand, if you could add some content to make all this repeating "events" over and over again, less boring.... It will be really cool
