    Michael was like "Well he has the spirit of a 12 year old" well if a 75
    year old man who has the spirit of a hormonal teenage boy hits on a
    teenage girl, is THAT okay?
    Okay so calling Aang a pedophile IS a stretch".

    That's what they said.


    Whoever said that Aang is a pedophile is a moron.

    If you want to go for spirit, Aang is over 1,000 years old. But physically and mentally (and hormonally) he is only 12. Aang's 12 and the Avatar, he has other things to worry about than love. Twelve year olds in love does not feel right. I don't really ever recall a show (a regular cartoon) which the age difference between characters who are "interested" in each other is two years. Danny-Sam, Timmy-Trixie (well Timmy's interested in her...), Jimmy-Cindy...I'm just saying. This really has nothing to do with anything and I DON'T ship any couple.

    True! Haha, yeah! That's a good point, mind if I use it sometime? Like when someone gets me sucked into this kind of convo again?

    Okay, I'll list my reply...
    1. Aang was only trapped in the iceburg for 100 years. If you're thinking Xiaolin Showdown, that's 1,500, so I don't know what you're talking about there.
    2. I know a few 12 year old who are in love...
    3. Yeah, but Jimmy and Cindy are 11. Or is 11 "alright"?
    4. Also, we have no idea how old Trixie is.

    Dude, hes saying the spirit of the AVATAR. And the whole thing about Aang being a pedophile is the dumbest thing Ive ever heard, and I have heard some dumb things.

    For whoever wrote that, I have one word. Puberty. Which Aang has not gone through. He's like a fourth grader who has a crush on his classmate.

    the avatar world has a different culture than our modern world...older women marry younger men. we still don't know if katara likes aang more than a sweet little friend or crush or love. i wanna see aang turn 13 in this series-and perhaps go thru puberty. aang is not a pedophile, he has LIVED for 112 years but his physical, mental, emotional, social age is 12. a grown man needs to be aged??similarly to his lived age of (insert??age of man here)??in all of those things.

    Thank you. And why is it so wrong for a 12 year old boy to be with a 14 year old girl. Aang and Katara are only two years apart, well, so is Zuko and Katara. She's 14 and he's 16, but no one is talking about that. Is it because guys in the old days here married girls decades younger than them? And that old guys like younger girls, sick but true with those perverts out there. You don't see older women fawn over younger boys unless there sick in the head. Aang aged in a?? frozen state, he didn't really get older physically or mentally. Aang is NOT a pedophile, sure if its a friendly joke, but not actually. Besides, on the show, everyone still refers to Aang as 12. I remember on Slimetime Fridays, during trivia, when the question was: "How old is Aang?" The answer was 12, not a 112, just 12.

    I don't think Aang is a pedophile... but what did bother me was how young those girls looked like in Kyoshi Island... the ones who were obsessed with Aang... seriously, they looked like what seven... and they were all like half his height.

    Idk... he has a 12 year old body but he's 112 years old. So is that like putting a 60 year old man's brain into a 12 year old body? Plus not to get sidetracked but pheonixfirework... there are so sick women out there who does go after little boys. But if a girl really loves a guy back (no matter how old) its technically not considered rape/ or pediphile.

    but Aang doesn't have a 112 year old's brain... his brain functions like a 12 year old.

    I know... I know just scientifically speaking... if you looked 16 but is 89 years old... you're not 89 years old... you would still be 16... right.

    necro thread?

    Aang is biologically, spiritually and mentally 12, he is only 112 chronologically 112

    it is almost basically like if a 12 year old man of today got a time machine and went 100 years in the future to 2108

    he is still 12, but if authorities did his fingerprints and got his identity, they technically can say he is 112

    I am sure the "Dai Li" in here(let those with knowledge understand what I mean)would go by the "letter of the law" and say Aang is 112, while those with common sense follow spirit of the law and say Aang is 12

    ...

    Well, if people think Aang is a pedophile, don';t read Twil;ight, then! Edward is almost 110 but has been 17 for around 90 years and he's in love with Bella, who is 18. Would that make Edward a pedo?

    My aunt married someone two years younger than her, my sister married someone 4 months younger than her, and some guy in my church married someone 5 years older than him. And my brother is dating someone 5 years older than him.

    Seriously, guys, a lot of women fall for younger men, Katara included. She can join the club. I'm sure they have T-shirts!

    its like people who wants to live more locking themselves in a freezer and waking up 100years later.

    ALTHOUGH 100 years has past, technically he's body didnt age.
