Yes there is, here's a few points for you to swipe like a credit card between the last few wrinkles left in your smoothening twitter-addled brain.
>The character design is unique to just that character.
Megumin is small and cute, and very few characters share her specific "chuuni" design and attitude. Konata is a uniquely styled gremlin and there are seldom few anime characters that capture that energy as much. Ryuko has a cool design I haven't seen in another character, and she's 17.
>The character basically looks like an 18 year old anyway.
Marin (Dress-up Darling), Zero-Two (Darling in the Franxx), Yoko (Gurren Lagann), Lucy Hearfilia (Fairy Tail), Ryuko and Satsuki (Kill la Kill) to name a select few.
>The character is 18+ but looks younger.
Konata and Akira (Lucky Star), Mavis (Fairy Tail), and any loli looking mom from any anime ever.
Most notably though is Tatsumaki from One Punch Man. She's 28 but looks younger, and even the manga jokes about this.
>The character turns 18 during the series but looks the same and/or wears the same outfit.
The entire cast of K-On turn 18 at the end of the series, and in the film they're even 19.
Rem and Ram from Re:Zero are introduced at 17 but in the story now they're 19 and they look practically identical to when they were first introduced.
Does it really fucking matter if we're drawing anime characters that aren't yet "of age" when so many anime characters either are 18 but don't look it or are introduced at 17 and then turn 18 and look the exact same?
Are you going to throw a hissy fit if someone draws Tatsumaki heavily pregnant and naked? She's 28 so what's the problem? What about Konata? She's 18. Or would you rather us draw them in their original body shapes?
At the end of the day it's a fucking anime character. A literal drawing. They are not real. If your gripe is with the written age that some random Japanese manga author gave the character rather than the body shape they were given then that's literally a you issue. Get better priorities.
