I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I’ll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.

Doesn’t change my opinion on fictional characters that are made to look like children when making them look older has absolutely no effect on the story.
In anime people also care about visuals, not only the story. Making certain characters have youthful looks is done to appeal to people who have preference for youthful looks, sometimes including sexual preference, and you also seem to agree it’s absolutely legitimate preference to have in case it’s limited to actual adults. The visual difference between “looking like children” and “having youthful looks” can be quite a subjective one, and that’s where everyone draws the line for themselves.
Is it ok to have preference for blondes or redheads or tall or slim? I think most people will agree it’s ok. Now, do you consider it ok to have preference (including sexual attraction) for youthful looks, in case it’s limited to people who are actually adult?
and act like a child
I don’t really remember any examples of hundreds year old loli vampires that actually act like kids. Shinobu certainly isn’t one. I didn’t include anything like this because OP specifically asks for adult appearances though.
supposed to be hundreds or even thousands of years old and that somehow magically makes it not weird or creepy to view this character sexually
And what do you think about irl people who are in their late 20s or 30s and look like teenagers?
Why not? It’s still mostly adult.

I like decentralized approach and modlog feature. Really nice to be able to monitor moderation and see reasons for certain actions. This helps a lot to understand what to expect from certain instances, make the best choices for yourself and avoid frustration in future.
Keep in mind that “Gushing over Magical Girls” is often considered hentai or borderline hentai by ecchi standards 😈
Any recs for anime that you think would enjoy a person who liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena?
I’m pretty much happy with conversations I see here. Plenty of quality discussion threads in AskLemmy, Gaming and Technology and Anime. Would be nice to see even more ofc, but Lemmy’s not that big yet I guess. Questions is something that often starts interesting discussions.
