Don't worry, we're nowhere near the pedophile area. Pedophiles like prepubescent kids. That's not the case of 16yo anymore. Even laws have no problem with that, see the age of consent, it's around 15yo in majority of the world. And that's real people.

But again, it's just fiction. Remember that the idea behind "underage is bad" used to be protecting children from abuse. There's no child to protect here. And where to stop is very simple, there's very clear border between fiction and reality, there are no doubts where one ends and the other one begins, so just use that. Failure to do so leads exactly to where we're now. First it was fictional children, then fictional incest, rape, ... And I can simply reuse your question for this, where do we as human society stop?
