Similar thing applies to other aspects of the "teenage" experience, like truth or dare etc...
I think that the desires were important to us during a critical time of mental development, so it's natural that a bit persists. And I think those fantasies to some extent aren't "I want to fuck a schoolgirl" but "what if back then I'd fucked a schoolgirl".
And I think indulging in this in a fictional context with a consenting partner is fine.

I would further say that I think that this is a bigger contributor to the popularity of anime/manga with fanservice of adolescent characters than pedophilia is.
3/3
@Misofist this makes sense, especially when you consider that teenagers are the target audience, Them and adults in their early 20s who would be proximate to that experience as well
@Misofist yeah, duh!?
@F3715H I have seen people try to moralise about basically every fetish, but I haven't seen a defense of this one before.
@Misofist I mean adults doing roleplay stuff is their freedom, cuz consent is everything.
@F3715H And yet unfortunately leftist spaces have constant conversations about certain forms of roleplay being harmful.
@fluffykittycat @F3715H Yep. I wasn't really a fan of the way that leftists were hating on Belle Delphine because she was "appealing to pedophiles".
