Why are people in anime subs so in denial about being pedos

Like they draw characters who like like they’re 7 years old in very suggestive ways and defend it by saying they’re 18, you tell them they have the body and the look of a 7 year old and they just say they’re 18 😭

If a character is drawn to have the body of a 7 year old but someone says “but but they’re 18” it doesn’t matter, you’re attracted to the body of a child, simple as that
