Yeah, she is, legally, an adult. But that doesn’t magically imbued her with all the wisdom of the ages–like the girl is barely an adult and using that as a justification to ship her with people 2 and 3 times her age is a bit underhanded and dishonest.
Like, let’s not pretend “oh but she’s so mature for her age” isn’t an argument gross ass men constantly use to justify going after/dating much younger girls like…
“DVA IS AN ADULT” should be used in relation to the fandom drawing her as a child constantly, or ignoring the fact that she is a war hero and a highly skilled soldier, not because yall wanna ship her with men 3 times her age get a grip.
