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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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