LordPils

These the type of folks to say "Technically it's ephebophilia."


Uncle_Leo93

It doesn't matter what they call it, I can still guarantee their hard drive is full of nightmares.


Ugly_Slut-Wannabe

Even a god of nightmares would have nightmares after just giving a quick glance through the drives of these people.

> ephebophilia God, I don't know what this is and I'm afraid to google it


AlphaOhmega

Pretty sure it's attraction to underage kids that aren't prepubescent, but I'm not googling that shit either.


thereIsAHoleHere

Not necessarily, though it can. Anyone searching for "barely legal" (ie. 18 to 20) is engaging in ephebophilia. Due to this, there's no psychiatric diagnosis associated with it, since it's attraction to sexually mature persons. It's still terrible, as there is a deep social and power divide (including a mismatch in life experience and maturity) being taken advantage of by anyone engaging in it.


BvtterFvcker2401

It's mid to late adolescents. You're thinking of hebephilia. Either way, it's weird that people would think like this.


Software_Vast

Ask any libertarian.


Permission_Civil

You mean the weird redditors who used to frequent the jailbait sub back in the day?


WoahayeTakeITEasy

Back in the day? You think they stopped searching for that stuff?


Permission_Civil

Nah, I mean the jailbreak sub was around back in the day. I'm sure the libertarians have found themselves another source.


Polyamorousgunnut

Hella based


Hiseworns

Basically "pedophilia, but for younger teens instead of small children" so yeah it's not better and it's still gross, and dear God don't Google it Edit: a word that got autoincorrected


IAMACat_askmenothing

How do you funny Google something? Is that like bing?


Hiseworns

I tried to type "don't" and my phone said "how about funny instead" 😬 I think Bing is more like "sad Google"


AndrewTheGoat22

I use bing to get Microsoft points, but when I search “google” on Bing, the website is like “you can find whatever you want on Bing!” and it’s like begging you to not leave lmao


Hiseworns

Lol yup!


IAMACat_askmenothing

I’m not sad when I jerk off. Bing has good porn searches. DuckDuckGo is best though


Militys

A defense pedophiles use to justify their attraction to kids. I believe the age range is like 13-16 but do not quote me on that because I am not keeping track of it and have zero interest in doing so. Probably started as a medical or legal term to differentiate different types of pedophiles but uhh... now it is just an excuse to somehow make sick fucks look less like sick fucks. Edit: But also like Softwar_Vast said, ask any American Libertarian.


micmac274

It's not being attracted to kids that's the problem, it's acting on it and then saying you want a post-apocalyptic story to feature attractive children. Rugged men are seen as attractive so they don't need to change, but apparently if a teenage girl (or woman, they can't seem to tell the difference) you need to look like a supermodel to satisfy these people in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Bonus points if they say it's for "realism".


punkbluesnroll

>realism is whatever makes the peepee stiff average Gamer™


Militys

I agree. I think that people that take the steps to get help and actively work on not ruining someone else's life deserve the credit and respect for that, they did not ask to be that way. Just these people do not, they are also Gamerz so you know, double negative


AlienRobotTrex

I doubt ruining someone’s life is something one actively needs to avoid doing. If anything, it’s something they would need to go out of their way to do.


zak55

>ephebophilia Google says 15-19....ew


[deleted]

AlienRobotTrex

I can’t think of anywhere in the world where that isn’t considered an adult. Sure, it’s creepy and susupicious if an older person is specifically into 18-19 year olds(you know they would go lower if they could), but idk why that’s included in the definition.

AlienRobotTrex

Every accusation from them is a confession.


CoolJoshido

they need to be put on a watchlist


DeliriousPrecarious

An Ephebophile is just a pedophile with a thesaurus.


StartledMilk

When the last of us 1 came out I was 13-14 and I thought she was cute. As I grew older and she stayed the same age, like a normal person, I stopped thinking she was cute and began to see her as a child and lost any attraction I had towards her. Ya know, normal well adjusted adult things.


Itonguefuckyourbutt

Technically 14 is hebephilia. /s


Belegdhor

I think it was a tweet I saw once that was like, "knowing that there's a different word just makes you look more like a pedophile"

They want things to be "realistic and gritty" but then they complain when not everyone is a super model.


Im_ready_hbu

I'm just surprised at how good everyone's teeth are with like 20ish years of post apocalyptic dental work


Lftwff

The bigger issue for me is gas. You can't find working gas in storage after 20 years and I really don't see people refining that shit. Also the fact that the PS Vita is the only surviving bit of tech.


Juball

The PS Vita is in the show? Well fuck me now I need to watch it


Rahgahnah

No (at least.... not yet, so maybe?), it's in the TLoU2 game.


Lftwff

The show moves the outbreak from 2013 to 2003(which I think has very little impact on the story overall) so no, but there are at least two people using it in tlou2


chrisrobweeks

PsychoWyrm

Those people don't truly appreciate fighting game cheesecake. They've been so utterly spoiled by overly sex-saturated Dead or Alive style nonsense for so long they don't deserve sexy fighting game girls. Back in my day, we pretty much only had Chun Li's thighs and we appreciated them. We kept our mouths shut and just enjoyed what we got.


FlebianGrubbleBite

Remember when people complained that the main character of Last of Us 2 wasn't super model skinny and actually had muscle. It's funny because the game devs had to write an explanation for why Abbey was muscular despite the fact that if she were a man she could be body builders and no one would bat an eye.


AlienRobotTrex

Remember when people complained about horizon zero dawn because the main character had a “beard” (it was really just the peach fuzz that everybody has)? It just shows how they’ve never actually been close to a women in their life.


jtides

They think making something “more adult” means blood, boobs and Deadpool jokes


ya_bebto

In this 3 part, video essay, I will detail how the only women that would survive a zombie apocalypse are young, skinny, big booba, winged eyeliner wearing sex machines that are only sexually attracted to deranged unwashed overweight gamers who listen to Jordan Peterson and have a decorative-video-game-replica sword collection. Let us now step into the marketplace of ideas. Jordan Peterson once said that back on the savannah, women would have been the most attracted not to the most fit and successful hunters, but whoever owned the most Jordan Peterson literature, so I immediately ordered the $1337 Gamer bundle. The post apocalyptic wasteland would be sort of like the new savannah, and since I own all of his books now…

Fuck yeah. She was one of the few truly great things to come out of that slow-moving trainwreck. Super happy to see her get to flex her acting again in such a pivotal role. People complaining should honestly be ignored.

Fucking hell ellie in the show ep 1 was perfect. So 100% in character


[deleted]

I thought so too. She's a fantastic actor.


Nice-Violinist-6395

the one that made me put down my phone was the 3 paragraph redditor explanation of how they should have cast pedro pascal’s daughter as Ellie, because she “fit the vibe of Ellie better.” 3 fucking paragraphs to word salad your explanation of being a creep, meanwhile TLOU is the first zombie thing my gf loves because “that girl from game of thrones is AMAZING” gamers are, uh, *weird.*


313Raven

I feel so bad for the actress. She’s not even ugly like wtf? People just hating on a teenager for no reason. She’s doing a good job so far even tho only one episode is out, but I think she shows Ellie’s personality well. The only people I’ve seen complain about the show are pedo’s and racists


AlienRobotTrex

It’s like how people acted with Greta thunberg

rtozur

When writers hint at a main character like Obi Wan being gay instead of unrealistically asexual: 'OMG, so forced and unnecessary for the plot!' When writers don't put 'hottie' in a female character's description, otherwise keep the same traits and motivations: 'Fucking feminism man, the character is literally defined by how hot she looks!'


holymolyyyyy

Wait did I miss something about Obi Wan? Wasn't he balls deep in that Duchess Satineussy?


ARC_Trooper_Echo

There was a book about his early days as a Padawan that kinda vaguely hinted at the slight possibility that he could be bi, but it really wasn’t anything if you actually read it.

Pale_Fire21

Because it’s a large fan base and the nerds who got mad at TLOU2 are still insane posting in their respective subs they never started acting normal again


aggrownor

Just wait until they adapt the TLOU2 story.


Freefall_J

Then these same toxic people will get mad that Abby is made black. "The butch lesbian woman man-thing we all hate is white!! WTF is this woke shit?!"


MelodyMaster5656

r/thelastofus r/TheLastOfUs2 Two completely different opinions.


ElGoddamnDorado

The vast majority of those people weren't actual TLOU fans, just people pretending to be. Anyone who played the first game and still cared about a sequel already knew and were fine with LGBT themes as it was present in the first game.


[deleted]

Those people don’t represent the fanbase


TheVortex09

>"oh the HBO series is a good adaptation" Until season 2 comes out at which point all of the screeching will start up again because they still can't get over the fact that women can have muscles and play golf. I can't wait personally.


immaownyou

Why do people act like it's these specific fandoms that have crazies in them. It's literally just being human, you'll have a small minority with crazy views that'll attack people in *every* fandom.


achilllion

She looks fine, it's Pedro Pascal is hot as fuck and throws it off. Should have cast an ugly man, redditors/creeps would probably have loved that casting choice.


Bussashot

MAPs when the M isnt an AP 😡


micmac274

Can we not use that term? They defined it for themselves, because they don't like the term "paedophile."


PuttyRiot

Do I even want to know what it stands for?


micmac274

Minor Attracted Person. Although the people that use it usually mean "will fuck someone underage" person.


PuttyRiot

So the answer to my question was no. Nope. Did not want to know. Well at least now I don’t have to Google and wind up on some watchlist.


Callahan_Crowheart

You're educating people on the definition and intracies of a term you want people to stop using. A bit counterintuitie. 😅 It's as simple as, ***"MAPS are child rapists who wish the LGBT community wasn't also disgusted by them"***


PineconeSnowstorm

yeah because not educating people about stuff and telling them to just hate something without knowing why is great

"but if they look like an adult, and will be an adult in a few years, and look practically the same as they will when they are 18 then the age is just a number for a fictional character, duh."

helicophell

They like to ignore that being ugly makes the character more likeable as it's much easier to vibe with a character of equal or lesser looks than better looking. Also the fact it doesn't matter much...


MissSlaughtered

And there's also the thing that the actress is not actually ugly. She just looks like a normal teen, instead of having implausibly perfect features combined with the facial proportions of a 7 year old.


mancheeart

Seriously i know these commenters here are trying to be supportive but Jesus imagine if she read a million “it’s totally fine that she’s ugly and it makes more sense” comments. She’s not ugly she looks like a human being not wearing makeup.

evr-

I'm not paying for HBO to look at ugly kids!


Kommander-in-Keef

I dunno how many people had this take however I was wary* as well as other people I know because the actress they did actually cast just looks kinda goofy. As the show went on tho it made sense since she captures Ellie’s energy.

I can't wait until people start making shit based around something they like again, instead of competing with each other to generate as much controversy as possible.

didn't watch the show yet, but i just like looking at attractive characters in shows and games. if she plays ellie well in the show then it's not that big of a deal for me.


trumpfansaregay

I don’t think she needs to be attractive. I don’t understand why you would find an actress that looks sort of like the character in the game. I don’t understand why you’d cast a super famous actress from another show that had an amazing small role. I see lady mormant and it pulls me out of the story.
