Oh, gosh, gosh.. I'll have to but into the conversation again.... *evil grin*
Hikari and Takeru (and Daisuke) topic:Exactly. I found the flirting just to annoy Daisuke really irritating. That made him also kind of hate Takeru, which wasn't really very thoughtful of Hikari. You'd think judging by her character in the Adventure season, that she'd like the guys to get along well.. but she actually made them almost hate each other.... Good thing that Ken showed up... (yeah I know it's going in that direction)
Well the fact that Takari is perfect.. is pretty close in my mind. I mean, nothing is perfect, but their relationship is just.. so meant to be, so it just seems like that.
Shonen-aiOh, it's great that you're shonen-ai friendly.. I mean.. even if you don't agree with me, it doesn't bother you, so I can talk freely. *evil grin*. And yeah.. I was against shonen ai too a few years ago... a year ago I accepted it, but refused to like it.. and now... *sighs*
Yes, I also believe that it had made me more open-minded. I accept so many things now... I do think open-minded people are mostly nice...
Anyway... even though one isn't a fan, one can still support certain pairings (like I used to.. see... that was just the beginning). A good example is Prince of Tennis, that has a great yaoi fandom and pairings supported by also those, who don't otherwise really care for yaoi.
Older women and younger boysFirstly: These are my favourite het pairings! Let's see.. how do I explain it.. Kind of like with shonen-ai. It's not something usual... mostly it's younger girl and older guy, (which I don't like for some reason)... Well, it's not just that, but anyway...
Um... let's see favourite het pairings like that.. JouxMai and IsisxKaiba from Yu-gi-oh!, SanosukexMegumi from Rurouni Kenshin, TakaraxShizuha from Cross.... Okay none of those is really that bad... but well in CCS Touya was dating Kaho when he was in junior high. For some reason I thought it was cute, even though Touya was under 16... Um, but the same series has another pairing, which my friend didn't find acceptable... She also said that it's different when the woman is the older one.
Hmm... I suppose it's because women are thought as the weaker one and since they wouldn't be the dominating person, the younger boy plays a bigger role than the younger girl in a relationship with an older man.. if that made any sense.
I used to have this limit of around 16.. but it really depends now.. anything consensual is okay... and basically if no intamacy (sex) is invloved it's not about pedophilia.
(Funny.. we were just discussing this with my brother..

)
Eh.. Tamagotchis? I think I had long ago got fed up with them.. but I still love Digimon.
