If the fictional character is aged up comprehensively, and doesn’t look like a child, then they’re not identifiable as a child, and they don’t register as a child.

Aging up a fictional character isn’t an excuse to ‘sexualize a minor’ - it’s the exact opposite. If someone doesn’t want to think of the character as a minor or depict them in a way that is identifiable as child-like, then you can’t accuse them of something they haven’t done, and don’t want to do, and even go out of their way to avoid doing. That is just very basic logic.

Not to mention (and I still can’t believe I actually have to say this) it’s nowhere anywhere even near being an instance of ‘child porn’. That’s completely and utterly ridiculous. Even comparing the two is intolerable, and disrespectful to both. I cannot possibly emphasize enough how incomprehensibly wrong and disgusting it is to accuse artists of ‘drawing CP’ when they’re creating adult content of adult-looking characters. (It’s also libel, a criminal act, and a prosecutable offense.) Stop telling them they’re ‘enabling child abusers/pedophiles’, when due to the subject of their content (adult-looking characters), they’re not even part of their demographic.

Especially when you’re dealing with highly stylized depictions, such as cartoons/comics or anime/manga, you have to acknowledge that in the absence of indisputable identifiers of age, age itself becomes an arbitrary number that barely means anything. Hyper-fixating on a fictional character’s age is an inexplicable obsession that is more telling of the mentality of the person who entertains such notions, when compared to someone who doesn’t care.

‘Aging up’ a fictional character, if anything, is a protective method, rather than an exploitative one.
