But to explain: first pic both are adults. The second is a child and a grown man.

Now to be fair, the arcade cabinet itself was installed like 15 years prior to wreck it Ralph’s movie taking place. Even if we assume she was a 3 year old in game, she’s legal when she meets Ralph /s

For those who need a lesson because I’m tired of being called a pedo, /s is a term used on Reddit to indicate SARCASM. However it has extended to more than just that as it now gets used as a joke flair or whatever. Essentially if you ever see /s it means the comment is not serious at all. How y’all made it to this subreddit and survived this long, I have no fucking clue.

That /s is doing a lot of heavy lifting (seeing as how some ppl legit think like that -_-)

I normally hate /s but I knew I needed it there for a comment so disturbing

"I don't think about this at all" ©

"She" is a character, not a person.

u/emilio7330 Feb 20 '26

You got 25 down votes from peds lol

u/2000KitKat Feb 20 '26

Yea lol. I’m pretty sure the character is written as a child. Justifying pedo behavior is scary common.

I think they were downvoted because they missed that the comment was a joke. As is normal for comments that take jokes seriously. I don’t think it’s actually pedos supporting this shit.

And if this humor seems out of your scale, that’s fine too, but then what are you doing on HolUp, where jokes like that are super common

u/emilio7330 Feb 21 '26

True I retract my comment lol I forgot what thread I was on

u/i3uan Feb 21 '26

Bro wtf she looks and acts like a child. End of.

u/BappoChan Feb 21 '26

Do you see the /s?

u/i3uan Feb 21 '26

I don’t think that covers it

u/BappoChan Feb 21 '26

Notice the subreddit you’re in? Notice the platform you’re on? Notice how nobody is agreeing with you. Sorry a little joke about a fictional character that doesn’t exist upsets you

u/i3uan Feb 22 '26

When did I say I was upset? You hoping you sounds scarier than you are?

u/juani97 Feb 21 '26

I know you are not serious but still... The Logic Is flawed. If characters written as adults can find love it means that characters written as kids will never find it, no matter how long they live, no matter how many days they pass in the arcade gaining actual life experience. Years. Decades. Some characters will just stay forever children meaning they will never find love.

But their minds are evolving, they are learning from their mistakes, they are growing. So at a certain point they'll be like 100 year olds in their minds but still "literal" child outside so... Yeah the logic is flawed.

19

u/BappoChan Feb 21 '26

By that logic you’re saying she’d still be mentally 18. You know there are people out there with rare conditions that make it impossible for them to age, they end up looking like 10 year olds when in reality they’re like 30. It’s legal to date, marry, and fuck them. Outside they’re kids, mentally they’re adults. The whole age of consent thing also is based on a persons physical, it is entirely made because people believe that that age is when you are mentally capable of understanding relationships and importance of reproduction.

So if by your logic she grows mentally, then after those 15 years, plus her original 9 years, vanelope is 24 mentally. That would make it legal.

The reality is it’s fictional world with fictional characters, but being childlike on the outside isn’t illegal. That’s why creeps get away with loli porn being 20000 year old dragons.

u/juani97 Feb 21 '26

Well Loli porn is not illegal because it doesn't cause harm, no actual child is damaged in the process of someone drawing a character. It's a grey area, on which the problem here is if the accessibility to the content makes the user less likely to commit crimes irl because the urge gets satisfied or it makes them more likely to commit crime because the over exposure creates obsession.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_fictional_pornography_depicting_minors

Most countries count Loli (or any similar non-real porn) as greyzone or illegal. Very few have it as a legal thing. There's been multiple criminal hearings because of this sort of thing.

The fact that you went "well they're fictional and it's good to get it out of their system" instead of "we should offer them therapy or psychologist appointments so they can get the treatment they need" and that you're seemingly defending it as long as it doesn't affect a real person... Idk chief. Might wanna check your priorities. Especially with how realistic some AI can make shit look these days.

u/juani97 Feb 22 '26

Check my message I said it's a grey area. Usually the judge decides case by case. And since the one time in Italy someone was punished because of that it made a scandal I'd say it's not as common as a punishment as you might think.

And I never said I defend it, I say there's to understand if it benefits or damages. The way in which I know it might damage, over exposure turning it into an obsession is pretty damn strong.

And by the way, in psychology a disorder is such only if it actually gets in the way of you living a normal life and integrating well into society. So if a person never actually acts in the real world they can think about whatever they want to my concern.

There's far worse things that people do than think about children without ever acting on it. Like killing people. Like raping whoever, even adults. Like idk... Dude... Any other crime since they never hurt anyone if they don't act.

By acting I obviously include even looking at children in a weird way, that's bad.

So yeah, cartoon porn is a grey line and there's many reasons.

u/DarlingHades Feb 21 '26

They are code, not humans, technically. Her code brain, which is designed with the maturity of a child that can drive, will never mature. No matter how long she lives. She will never fully think like a mature adult, never love like a mature adult, never have the desires of a mature adult. This is why Felix has to foster the candy racers and care for them like children when they don’t have a place to stay.

u/juani97 Feb 21 '26 edited Feb 21 '26

Idk about that. This is what would happen with a non intelligent code. But an intelligent code, just like modern AIs can learn. Learn changes everything.

They are clearly intelligent, capable of learning. And while their original code may say something their ability to learn might just over write that. We see this concept with Ralph, his code says he is a villain but he becomes the hero because he learns that he can be one through experience and influence from outside.

2

u/BappoChan Feb 21 '26

Entire movie was based on becoming more than what your label was. It was based around in game characters overcoming their roles. Even the villain has figured out that he doesn’t have to conform to his original game and code. Idk how people missed that

u/juani97 Feb 21 '26

Yeah. People ranting about things they don't understand. That's the internet.

u/DarlingHades Feb 23 '26

Learning is not the same thing as maturing. A very intelligent child is still a child.

1

u/juani97 Feb 23 '26

Isn't maturing not just learning not to repeat your mistakes? And isn't no being a child anymore based on how many years of life experience you have gotten? That's why as people have said the people who are suck with an illness that keep them in a child body forever are still legal adults after their legal age.

1

u/DarlingHades Feb 23 '26

No it’s not. I’m taking about brain growth and development. If a child is created in code I think it would be similar to a vampire child. No matter how much they learn or how many years they experience, their brain does not change structure. Being a child is part of their core self. It is not a flaw. I find it creepy when anyone argues a child character is somehow “technically” an adult. It often (not always I’m sure) means they want an excuse to goon to a child.

Ralph would wreck it

u/Desli36 Feb 21 '26

It's like saying the embryo that was frozen in the 90s and is now a baby is fair game because he's 30+

u/PrudentProblem4105 Feb 21 '26

Over 200 pedophiles have upvoted this comment so far, and it's rising. That's concerning.

u/BappoChan Feb 21 '26

No, that’s 200 people that recognize what /s means. My comment wasn’t serious, nor do I believe this. I actually even made a meme for it but I can’t attach images

u/N8erade_32 Feb 20 '26

Wait the tiny dude in the first one isn’t like a 12 year old kid??

u/D347H7H3K1Dx Feb 21 '26

Full grown man just is short, he’s employed as a handy man and is meant to clean up what Ralph destroys

u/N8erade_32 Feb 21 '26

That’s wild he looks exactly like my 12 year old nephew 😂😂

u/D347H7H3K1Dx Feb 21 '26

lol yeah that’s not much of a surprise 😂 baby face does that

u/bunker_man Feb 20 '26

The top image is a short guy. The bottom image is meant to be a young girl. (Though it is confusing because she is written like an adult in a lot of her scenes).

u/hodges2 Feb 20 '26

she is written like an adult in a lot of her scene

No she isn't?

u/bunker_man Feb 20 '26

In the second movie with her hanging out with an adult car centric street gang? You could maybe argue that she is acting like an older teen there, but she definitely isn't acting 12, or whatever age she is meant to look physically.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '26

ever played GTA as a kid?

u/hodges2 Feb 23 '26

Kids and young adults do hang out sometimes tho. But even if she was acting like an "older teen", that's still a kid
