Thread: Wakka and Rikku?

    I thought that they pretty much didn't get along all that strongly and at times, downright hated each other.

    I'm not far from the end of this game for the first time. I don't get the impression that Rikku hates Wakka at all. She's always been really nice to pretty much everyone. Wakka is obviously a bit of a religious nut and his attitude towards the Al Bhed is awful.

    I definitely don't see them as a couple. I didn't know that he ends up with Lulu in the second game but I find that a bit weird too. Didn't Lulu used to go out with Chappu before he died? I'm not sure he'd be overly thrilled that his ex-girlfriend ended up with his older brother. I bet he's beating his head against the wall of the Farplane.

    Isn't Yuffie 15 as well? It seems Final Fantasy fans don't really recognise paedophilia.

    The "minimum" (ie, where courts deem it okay, generally involving parents' thoughts) age of consent in Japan is 13 years old. Explains a lot sometimes... but seriously, for me, neither Rikku nor Yuffie were highly sexualised in the games and I never found either of them particularly arousing in any way. I thought they looked good, but not in a "mmm, gimme some o'dat" way, more of a way in that people of any age can just be generally good looking.

    Paedophilia is a disorder where you're attracted to people who are not physically mature. So if you're attracted who is younger than they look, it's not paedophilia until you act on it

    That and the legal age for boning is 15 in Poland, so I don't see it as a big deal.

    And while I don't see them as a couple at all, I really don't get where people get the hate vibe. Rikku is nice to everyone, as has been pointed out, while Wakka is torn between his racism and enjoying Rikku's company. He clearly tries to be nice in spite of himself.

    People can still be diagnosed with paedophilia when they haven't acted on it.

    I think the cut off is about 13 years old though so I guess 15 is OK. It still doesn't sit right with me though.

    I don't mean to split hairs about this, because I think it's gross regardless and I don't want to see to be supporting any of these things, but people forget about hebephilia (being attracted to children ages 11-14ish) and ephebophilia (being attracted to children ages 15-19ish) and just lump it all together under "pedophilia".

    Also, obviously being attracted to a 19-year-old isn't illegal, but when you're over a certain age and you pursue someone who's still a teenager, yeah. It's pretty gross and cringeworthy. (Maybe not "sexually" but definitely from a mental/emotional standpoint).

    Anyways, that's my off-topic post!

    Well kind of OT I guess, not really a point to the paedophile stuff, but purely biologically speaking females are supposed and able to mate from their first period and males ever since they produce sperms. That's from nature way speaking. Of course it isn't normal and shouldn't be allowed for anyone to bang children just because biologically they are able to.

    Anyway, back on topic.

    Wakka and Tidus would make a better couple than Wakka and anyone else.

    Kimahri + Random Ronso NPC #17 4 lyfe <3

    I'm not sure who I would pick for Wakka, honestly. I guess Lulu because they are actually a couple. But I'm one of those weird ones who think Rikku would be suited to someone like Auron but not actually Auron
