This tag refers to situations where at least one character misunderstands or is confused by something that is "adult" in nature (sex, violence, etc.) due to lack of knowledge. This can range from not picking up on context clues, to not understanding that sexual acts are sexual. This can sometimes overlap with oblivious, but while oblivious characters are completely unaware of a situation, naive characters are aware of a situation but unaware of its implications. Commonly portrayed with young characters.
