[EDIT: (11616) I only interpret the relationship between Cyrus and Dawn as platonic now. The normalization and romanticization of ships such as those between adults and children creates an environment in which pedophilia and sexual abuse are excused andor justified. br br You may have noticed that this video is unlisted on YouTube (not sure how to do something like that on this site), and that is because I do not condone adultchild ships and am ashamed of my past self's ignorance on the subject. No, "aging up" a child does not magically make the ship better nor does the fact that they are fictional characters mean it is acceptable, and these being common practices and arguments in fandom does not mean I should have accepted them without question. br br Yes, there is a difference between fiction and reality, but they still have undeniable influences upon each other. "Ship and let ship" may be the common refrain, but there are real consequences to having these be treated as normal or glorified without question. I no longer support such ships and encourage viewers to be aware and not dismiss these issues as "SJW nonsense." There are real people being hurt by the casual acceptance of such ships, and I do not wish to promote this any longer. br br END EDIT] br br Warning for age differences and implied attempted suicide. br br Fandom: Pokémon br Focus: Dawn (Hikari) and Cyrus (Akagi) [Akatsukishipping] br Song: "Wonderful Life" by Hurts br Program used: Windows Live Movie Maker br br None of the fanart belongs to me. All pictures used can be found here: br () br br I made this because my last one with them seemed a little depressing. Not much to say about this one other than that I wish we saw Cyrus canonically be rehabilitated. DPA handled Cyrus the best, in my opinion.
