It’s only fair that we invent a term. Calling it “normal” is prejudicial

Gonna have to um actually here Being attracted to people your own age is normal, there is a mildly interesting and important facet of psychology where children are attracted to adults.

Gonna um actually your um actually, this app is supposed to be for college students. It is normal for college aged adults, to be attracted to adults, children are not a demographic that was being addressed. And even despite this fact, it’s also normal for kids to be attracted to adults. Plenty of kids have celebrity crushes in their 20s and 30s during puberty. That’s very typical, as is a crush their age.

exactly and it’s upon the adult to not lean into the child’s adult crushes and set boundaries. playing into it as the adult in the room, any fashion, makes you a predator.

There’s some mild interesting psychology around that which I could argue about, but whether it’s normal or not is out of my expertise. But not gonna continue the um actually’s bc at the end of the day, we both agree adults shouldn’t be dating kids
