I really don’t even think it was quite that deep. It really didn’t require much “media competency”. Obviously there were things beyond the surface to unpack there, like all media, my partner and I were just very uncomfortable with an underage breast popping out on screen and the underage protagonist masturbating to that. Additionally, I couldn’t even count on one hand the amount of times the underage girls were nude or doing sexual acts in EoE. I don’t think those pictures were necessary to manifest any greater meaning.
I agree and I also did not feel comfortable either.
But I think the scene was not for me but for the character and thus for me about the character and his motivations/ethics. It’s a bit hard for me to explain as I’m no native speaker so the nuances get lost but I hope you understand.
Them being underage/teenagers cannot be changes as that’s their age and necessary for plot reasons. Also, coming of age and challenging/compromising social ethics and morals while being confronted with puberty, mood swings and general “who am I” fits the character’s age, personality and general theme of the whole series (as well as reality).
