In addition there are also kids who went through puberty in a rocket and by 13 already are tall and adult looking. Banging those is pedophilia while what Noah Jones mentioned isn’t. In short, the mind is the issue, not the body.
Consider that there are adults in real life who resemble children. They are fully grown, mature people who are can legally and will give consent to sex. Are you a creep for being attracted to their body plan? A little bit, not going to lie, but having sex with them isn't pedophillia.
"It's not bestiality cause it's a shapeshifted druid" holds as much water as "it's not paedophilia since it's a 1000 year old dragon who just looks like a 10-year old child".
My take on it is that even if you argue that its a dude in Bear Form as a druid, and can consent; this is DnD. And Speak with Animals IS a spell in this game. By that logic, any animal you can use that spell on could "consent" as well. It doesnt change that youre still having sex with animal shape.
We have to assume that Chuck Tingle was involved. We can expected the novelization "Pounded in the but by a giant bear while Count Dracula and David the Gnome watch!"
.........With a bear!? Is it, like, polymorphed into a human form or something that makes the connecting parts even remotely less strange? Is the bear male or female, top or bottom? WHY DO I SUDDENLY HAVE TO CONSIDER THESE MECHANICS IN MY DAILY LIFE!?!
One of those memes that gets shared around book reading sites is the cover for a romance novel between a normal woman and a grizzly. I can't remember the title. I won't search for it. It won a Canadian Best Novel award.
