FortuneCookie 09/17/23 12:07:56 PM #1:	Option 1) Everyone is ugly. Option 2) You (the producer) are a pedophile. To the bulldogs of moral guardianship, 17 might as well be 7. It doesn't matter if you hire a 19-year-old to play a 17-year-old. If the character's canon age is below 18, you are a pedophile. Even if you say that you've written the character for a teenage target demographic, we all know that you really find them attractive. So here's an idea. Let's just skip over high school and make everyone college aged in stories aimed at young people. That way, we don't have to worry about the "unfair sexualization" of a "literal child" if the female lead's looks are somewhat analogous to what we consider attractive in fully grown adult women. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:976127441] in Just don't...

FortuneCookie 09/17/23 12:18:57 PM #8:	Crimson_Corsair posted... So what was the inspiration for this topic? I'm working on a story and I have a suspicion that a publisher will want me to tweak it so that it can be released as YA fiction. I was thinking about what an age shift from the 21-to-23 age range to a 17-year-old age group would do to the characters if it was adapted to the screen. Either the three young women in the story will all dress like April O'Neil from the recent animated Ninja Turtles movie or I'll be accused of sexualizing minors. I know that, as an author, I wouldn't have any control over what happens in an adaptation. But I feel like "the person who wrote it" makes a good scapegoat should any controversy come up. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:976127625] in Just don't...

pnut027 09/17/23 12:25:58 PM #14:	I remember a poster saying a 17 year old actress was hot. He got called a pedophile. ~~But he was also 17.~~ I think posters here forget that there are minors on the site. Less than there were for obvious reasons.
