>>2750133You're missing the point. No one disputes that it is about appearance of age rather than stated age, but the discussion is about boys who fall in between. Those that look prepubescent are always shota, and those that look like adults are always not shota.
But adolescents, those that fall in between, are sometimes shota and sometimes not. There doesn't seem to be a consistent way of categorizing them. They are both shota and not shota.
