Child characters, seriously? Don't these people have, like, actual child-marriages to worry about?
I swear, between this and giving Saudi Arabia a seat on the Human Rights Council, the UN has got to be one of the most incompetent organizations I've ever known. First as tragedy, then as farce.
The Saudis also have seats on various women's rights councils because irony is dead.
And as an addendum, the UN has a lulzy track record when it comes to these kinds of proposals. If you see someone calling for the ban of manga it might be worth looking a bit into them.
I think a quick read of psychological projection can be useful in the future, quite interesting as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
There is some criticism but It's irrelevant.

I won't directly link you to libgen but you can always find these on libgen for scientific articles or scihub.
They ran 2 studies
In the first one, they make the participants take a test assessing their repressed anger. Then give them a fake result that says either they score above the normal normal or within the normal range.
Then ask them in a supposedly seperated experiment to read an essay about a stranger who "ambiguously displayed anger and hostility in dealingwith his landlord, a mechanic, and a sales clerk" then score their personality.
There are 14 traits but 3 of them are related to anger and the rest are not.
The people who received results that said they score higher on hostility score the stranger higher on hostility.
"Thus, when participants were particularly concerned about defending against having an undesirable trait, they tended to perceive that trait in another individual"
"allow-ing participants to project anger onto another individualwould reduce their own concerns about anger and, therefore, reduce the accessibility of anger-related concepts".
The second study is the same but this time anger is replaced by dishonesty.
The result is the same.
They addressed a lot of the issues and discussed a lot more in the paper but I think it's not really relevant to this conversation.
Conclusion: "The results of the current research do not imply thatprojection always facilitates denial and defensive distanc-ing from undesired traits, but they do indicate that atleast under some conditions it does. This suggests that itis time for contemporary psychologists to include classicprojection as one of the many strategies that people useto protect a positive self-image"
