It’s not pedophilia or inherently predatory to ship an adult woman character with an older adult male character.
It just isn’t.
You can be grossed out about it all you like, and you don’t have to ship it.
No one is saying you have to like age gaps.
But every time you call it “pedophilia” or “illegal” what you are doing is you are infantalizing adult women and removing them of their legal and social agency.
Calling an adult woman being shipped with an older man inherently predatory is misogynistic.
This !
“Athena is only 19 her brain cannot process fully yet she’s only a teenager, she cannot have a relationship with someone too much older because of power imbalance ”
Some of you seem to forget that this 19 years old “teenager” is already investigating CRIME SCENES and actually WORKS AS BOTH LAYWER AND PSYCHOLOGIST?? 😭😭 you cannot even compare yourself with her… they completely erase what makes Athena such a reliable and strong willed character.
