I have a bad video game crush

Unread post by darkerside »

Hi again, you can call me Noelle (from my favorite character in deltarune) it's not my real name but I can't use that here for privacy reasons lol.

I play this game called binding of isaac, and I feel sexual attracted towards a character in it called the lost. For convoluted lore reasons he's a ghost 5 year old and I have day dreams about dating the lost. I think he's really cute and hot.

But he's 5 years old, even if fictonal so I'm scared I'm a pedo. I've liked this game for a long time and I sorta grew up with it

Hi again, Noelle.

Pedophilia is about feelings adults -- not minors -- have about real children, not about fantasies about fictional characters, so this isn't something for you to even worry about for a couple of reasons.

All this is is sexual fantasy about a made-up being. There's nothing about it that could do anyone harm because all it is is a thought in your head that can'/t be put into action. Honestly, even calling what you're feeling sexual attraction doesn't really make sense because sexual attraction is a word and framework meant to be about feelings we have withy or towards real people.
