LIKEWhile it is true that he is reincarnated… it is also true that he is 11 years old. What do you think is the ethical solution? Should he be dating women his mother‘s age? Should he wait until he’s an adult and date grandmothers? I hate stupid comments like this where people try to construct a moral precedent for something that is beyond the confines of a normal situation. I do agree that it is unfair that he has a mature mind and is capable of manipulating these girls… but I don’t understand how people can point fingers and find fault but they ignore half the dilemma. This is a new life. Does a character with memories of a past life not have the right to live his life?
I get that reincarnation stories can create some really tricky moral dilemmas, but I think this situation crosses a line that makes people uncomfortable for a good reason. Even if the character has memories of a past life, in their new life they’re physically and socially an 11-year-old, and the relationship dynamics should reflect that. Hugging and kissing a child, especially in a way that could be perceived as romantic, feels off, no matter how you try to justify it with reincarnation. Instead of focusing on those interactions, why not explore the internal struggle of someone with an adult mind trying to navigate the limitations and innocence of their new body? That could make for a more thoughtful, layered story that doesn’t risk alienating readers. Fiction lets us push boundaries, but it’s still important to handle these situations with care.
I agree with most of what you’re saying but is hugging and kissing really too far? In my recollection 11 was fifth grade and I remember plenty of kids who didn’t think much of such contact. I grew up with people who liked hugging and they would hug their friends… and it was platonic. I Don’t really remember which story this was right now and I don’t know how far the MC actually takes things but… is it possible that you are disturbed by innocent gestures that others don’t even see in a dirty way? Could it simply be a cultural difference?
I see where you’re coming from, and you’re absolutely right that cultural and personal experiences play a big role in how gestures like hugging or kissing are perceived. For some, these actions might carry purely platonic meanings, especially among close friends or kids, while for others, they might be seen as crossing a line. I think a lot of it comes down to context and how the story frames these interactions. If the MC’s actions are meant to be innocent but come off as questionable, it could be a matter of interpretation. At the end of the day, it’s an interesting discussion about how much cultural background influences our view of relationships and physical contact in stories.
