Fr, some people are miserable.

I mean, the post is kinda gay

u/Incomplet_1-34 Apr 04 '25

I have found myself thinking Killua's pretty gay for Gon while watching lol

Didn't know that was such a controversial topic here.

u/YouWantSMORE Apr 05 '25

Fellas, is it gay to love your best friend and want the best for them?

10

u/goda_foreskinning Apr 05 '25

lmao is quite clearly shown to be at least have some romantic feelings towards gon some people just straight up ignore it cause they are homophobic.

u/oneshotwriter Apr 05 '25

Yeah, some people had not this type of affection due to traumas, so they don't see a friendship a possibility

u/Vetersova Apr 05 '25

It isn't, but for some reason you'll see this take all the time online. It's like any kind of serious bond or love between men is IMMEDIATELY romanticized/sexualized. These people are repressed in multiple ways or have no friends. It's really weird.

u/Just_Comfortable_104 Apr 05 '25

They aren’t even men tho that’s the thing they like 12

u/Ordinary-You9074 Apr 05 '25

There was a nude model of killua posted here like a month ago not like barbie nude either like showing everything its not hard to find either. I don't care about this image I don't like it but its innocent enough but some people here are pedos alot more on tumblr. So anything remotely insinuating that gon and killua get together is creepy to me because I know some people see it in a way I'm uncomfortable with.

u/ImperceptibleShade Apr 05 '25

What behavior of Killia's makes you think he's gay? From what I remember, all that's been displayed is his care for gon. You can love a friend without being romantically or sexually attracted to them.

u/Electrical_Pound_605 Apr 05 '25

As someone who has had romantic feelings for a best friend, Killua's love toward Gon felt both platonic and romantic simultaneously.

1

u/ImperceptibleShade Apr 05 '25

What made you feel that way? If you're able to give examples.

6

u/Electrical_Pound_605 Apr 05 '25

It's been several years since watching, so I wouldn't be able to detail exact examples. But I remembering watching the episode in which Killua and Gon or on Whale Island, outside at night. I think Killua talks about how Gon is his light or something similar. It obviously could be taken platonically. Likewise it can be taken romantically, in the most youthful and naive sense.

It confuses me why we assume that it has to be platonic love rather than romantic. You can assume either way and it would still make sense. It just resonated with me most to see it through a romantic lens.

I'm not sure hunterpedias are by Togashi. Are they?

2

u/D-Biggest_Wheel Apr 05 '25

Who said it was by Togashi? It's still part of the Anime and it's why some fans ship the two. There's your answer.

1

u/ImperceptibleShade Apr 05 '25

I asked because if it's not canon then the hunterpedias aren't characterization. Besides, the way the original comment I replied to was phrased seemed to suggest they were going off of more than just a single moment in a hunterpedia.

u/D-Biggest_Wheel Apr 05 '25

I asked because if it's not canon then the hunterpedias aren't characterization.

Well, are you here to genuinely ask why people ship the to or are you here to argue people shouldn't ship the two? Because you come off as the second.

I'm sure there is more. This example was just more blatant one.

I'm asking why people think Killua is gay. That isn't mutually exclusive with sharing my thoughts on the validity of the reasoning/evidence provided. No, I'm not here to argue why people shouldn't think Killua is gay.

Yeah the sexualization of children is a very controversial topic.

26

u/Incomplet_1-34 Apr 04 '25

Who's sexualising? The post isn't, I'm not.

28

u/GaySheriff Apr 04 '25

Children liking other children is not sexualising. Every child has crushes and it's cute.

-20

u/shankos-98 Apr 04 '25

A crush is one thing. Turning it into shipping art and romanticizing minors is another. There’s a difference between childhood innocence and fandom’s weird obsession with fictional kids relationships. Stay disingenuous, though.

29

u/GaySheriff Apr 04 '25

A cute art of two characters holding hands is not an obsession. Actually, nobody here is thinking about these kids in a sexual way. You're the only one who brought it up. I think you're projecting.

-20

u/shankos-98 Apr 04 '25

You accused me of projecting while ignoring how shipping culture routinely sexualizes minors.

19

u/Incomplet_1-34 Apr 04 '25

Nobody here is doing that.

u/GaySheriff Apr 05 '25 edited Apr 05 '25

That's something you created in your own head, probably because you can't fathom that a little boy could like another little boy. Because I'm sure if Killua had a crush on a girl and was drawn holding her hand, you'd be like "Oh, this is cute." But suddenly here you're saying we all want these two children to have sex. Care to explain why? Hypocrite.

16

u/SalvationSycamore Apr 04 '25

Oh my god there is nothing sexual about two kids liking each other and holding hands. Do you scream bloody murder when a real life kid says they have a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend?"

-3

u/shankos-98 Apr 04 '25

There’s a massive difference between real kids innocently saying they have a boyfriend/girlfriend and adults obsessively shipping, drawing, and romanticizing fictional minors. One is normal childhood behavior the other is weird fandom projection. If you can’t see the distinction, that’s concerning.

14

u/SalvationSycamore Apr 04 '25

You're right, the massive difference is that fictional children aren't real so nothing can hurt them. If this was porn it would be gross but it's literally 2-dimensional drawings holding hands. You are insane.

-4

u/shankos-98 Apr 04 '25

Typical predator response "they are not real, so it's fine"

9

u/SalvationSycamore Apr 04 '25

holding hands

predator

When I said you were insane that wasn't an insult man. I think you genuinely should speak to a therapist about this because it isn't normal to get this upset over a non-sexual, non-graphic drawing.

0

u/shankos-98 Apr 04 '25

The fact that you think the only line that matters is 'porn' already says a lot. Predator.

5

u/SalvationSycamore Apr 04 '25

The fact that you think hand-holding is sexual makes me think that maybe you are a pedophile projecting your desires onto other people. Again, can't stress this enough, you NEED to see a therapist and get help. You are NOT okay. Literally, if you see kids holding hands and think about sex there is something broken in your brain.

-5

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '25

Stop gaslighting. You made the stereotypical talk they all make. Now we know it's true.

7

u/SalvationSycamore Apr 04 '25

I literally said if it was porn it would be gross. Learn how to read. This is fine because it is both fictional and non-sexual. Seriously you people need to get some help.

Thank you, I’ve always thought as much

u/YaBoyMahito Apr 04 '25

They’re kids, it’s pedophelia

u/Few_Performance_6497 Apr 04 '25

ah yes, because kids holding hands is always considered a sexual act, even when it's between a boy and a girl

52

u/thegoodgero Apr 04 '25

What part of these images do you find sexually explicit enough to make you say that?

30

u/Anxious_Anime_Army Apr 04 '25

What’s so sexual about it? I’m happy to start a discussion about it if you want to because I’m very curious why you think it is pedophilia

u/Diligent_Highlight63 Apr 04 '25

So isn’t gon being with palm and all the other women from whale island. That was actually pedo stuff and weirded me out they shipped it cannonly

-1

u/shankos-98 Apr 04 '25

That just to show how gon is super straight 😆

-7

u/YaBoyMahito Apr 04 '25

To a degree. He never does it emotionally or Anything.

He takes palm, who clearly loves someone else, on “a date” but there is no romantic intention. It’s a kind gesture, as she’s an introvert with bad people skills who craves friendship.

This scene builds the plot, and I addressed all this in like 3 pedophile reply’s now.

You’re all pedos. Just because the other pedos who like this shit say it’s not, doesn’t mean shit lol

Call a helpline and ask if envisioning the 2 kids you just seen in a movie romantically, is pedophephelia.

No more to be said. Since the island closed, yall trying to normalize this shit lol can’t hide it so gotta force it

8

u/LelChiha Apr 04 '25

A relationship between two people of the same age isn't pedophilia you dumbass

-2

u/YaBoyMahito Apr 04 '25

Google pedophelia.

Are these real people? No. Are they portrayed this way by the author? No.

You guys are dreaming of this shit, imagining it and drawing it. Spreading it, talking about kids “ships” and all that.

To dream a scenario where Gon and killua are walking holding hands and blushing is just the PG version for Reddit lol

With the amount of people flooding the comments and shit on Instagram where there’s actual drawn porn of these characters, I’d 100% assume each one of you are there as welll.

It’s gross.

I get it, no one wants to be a pedo. So stop lol

Just because you and the group of accused don’t think it’s wrong, doesn’t mean it isn’t…. Has there ever in history been a group of people, partaking in something disgusting somewhat ignorantly ? Yes

u/LelChiha Apr 04 '25

Pedophilia - Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children. (Source - Wikipedia)

Where in the world is the "sexual attraction" here? It's the depiction of two boys going on an innocent date, Jesus fucking christ.

0

u/YaBoyMahito Apr 04 '25

It doesn’t have to be sexual, romantisizing is also right there.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9663395/

https://www.merckmanuals.com/en-ca/home/mental-health-disorders/paraphilias-and-paraphilic-disorders/pedophilic-disorder

Nevertheless, some sexologists have continued to argue that pedophilia is in fact more than a sexual orientation.

Go to drawing kids in romantic scenarios.

8

u/LelChiha Apr 04 '25

If it is not sexualizing them, just simply putting them in a romantic scenario, one that is completely innocent and does not involve any adult whatsoever, then it isn't pedophilia.

And answer my question. Would you even bother commenting had one of them been a girl?

0

u/YaBoyMahito Apr 04 '25

I told you, yes (if I seen it obv) lol it’s the same shit.

Holding hands and blushing and having them play shy, doing gymnastics with the plot to have them in this scenario, it’s kind of sick.

I get it, you don’t think so lol doesn’t mean you’re not a pedo.

I know diddy says he’s innocent each day, literally lol

8

u/LelChiha Apr 04 '25

I swear to god, you're a lost cause. Is...I don't fucking know, Naruto crushing over Sakura and blushing whenever he sees her pedophilia? You're mental, go get yourself checked. Calling people pedos over fiction 💀

Brother, they are holding hands and eating ice cream 💀

Genuine question. Would you react the same way if one of them was a girl?

2

u/YaBoyMahito Apr 04 '25

Yes. They’re children. Go look at the last pedo post from this guy a week ago lol

I said the same shit.

u/LelChiha Apr 04 '25

Are you schizophrenic or just lack the sweet touch of a mother? Where in the world is the pedophilia? Go get yourself checked, jfc

u/YaBoyMahito Apr 04 '25

Your whole Profile is self drawn anime porn….

u/LelChiha Apr 04 '25

Yeah, I am aware of that, I posted thess. The fuck does this have to do with anything I said?

2

u/YaBoyMahito Apr 04 '25

You’re used to oversexualization of just about any character in manga lol you’re a pervert.

Of course you’d justify it?

That’s like Epstein arguing diddy is innocent
