EDIT FROM 2020: Akuroku is definitely pedophilia in every capacity lmao sorry for posting this when i was a kid


Topic. Roxas is 14-15, and Lea is... unconfirmed. He looked about 13 on BBS, so he should be about 24 right now.

I mean, if you go by modern age of consent stuff... Lea's over 18. Roxas is 9 years younger than him. So atm, it kinda is, even if it's an adorable ship. a couple more years in-game and it should be one hella fine of a ship. (Imagine older Roxas. 17-year old Roxas, yes please)

We could also consider Roxas's mental age, which, considering his lifetime and actual age since birth, is of a 2-year old. But in-game he has the maturity and knowledge of a common 14-year old.

There's also the possibility that nobodies didn't actually age, but since they had hearts, they probably did. After all, they did get older-looking and acquired new experiences, memories and grew, so I guess they did.

Surprisingly, I do think it'd be pedophilia if they ever had sex or anything. I'm not okay with M rated Akuroku fanfics/doujinshis, but I definitely approve the romance.

Edit: just to clarify, by not okay I mean that I don't like reading them but I mean do what you like to do it's none of my business

First of all... butthole roulette? Really?

Second of all, there aren't any confirmed pairings at all, it looks like you're pretty much trying to say that anything that isn't canon isn't allowed to be shipped. Again, really? Do you even get what shipping means? I posted a wikipedia link.

Third, I was obviously kidding there. There's this entry when Axel and Xion stop showing up on the clock tower in which he says "My hands get all sticky, and all I taste is the salt" which made people start saying Ice cream was a metaphor for sex

 

1. Okay, that may have been a little over the line, I apologize.

 

2. I'm not saying that at all. I never said there was a confirmed anything in this series. I implied it, yes, but that was because I was speaking upon shipping as a whole rather than just Kingdom Hearts. All that I am saying is that two fictional characters that are both guys, both girls, or whatever being shipped sounds wrong if there are no reasons to have that ship created in the first place, or, people just decided to play God and do whatever they see fit, ergo, CRACK SHIPS. AkuRoku is a crack ship. Why? Simple. Kingdom Hearts's main theme is friendship, and here we have fans making two of the characters a gay couple for reasons of their own beliefs, completely ignoring and somewhat disrespecting the fact that they have no sexual interaction whatsoever, and that they instead take the level of affection that is really being shown between these two characters to a level where it should not go. THAT is my beef with this ship.

 

3. Oh yeah... that well written piece of dialogue... friggin' people and their minds in the gutter...

It wouldn't be, as age of consent in Japan is 13, and Japan =/= Kingdom Hearts

 

 

I still hate the ship, though.

Technically it's ephebophelia (Ruran ninja'd me), but I don't ship the two.  I don't have a taste for same-sex pairings, and I dislike shipping in general in works that emphasize friendship.  As a rule, I don't allow myself to ship characters on the basis of it being "cute," as in, "Oh, wouldn't X and Y look good as a couple?"  It doesn't matter how cute even I think two characters would look together; I still don't let myself do it out of principle.  Regardless of canon or a lack thereof, I refuse to associate myself with shippers based on my disgust for people insisting on taking any kind of closeness and putting it into a romantic context, like the only important dynamic between two people is when they're romantically inclined.  It's an unhealthy and closed-minded viewpoint, I think, and it's indirectly reflected in the insistence on focusing on pairings above all else.

Yes, but then I hate the pairing to begin with so I'm probably not a good one to ask.

If you thought Lea looked about 13 in BBS, how old do you think Ven is?
