twitter will never be ready for this conversation but being capable of feeling attracted to girls who are like 16/17 is not pedophilia, in fact, it's literally normal, and calling that pedophilia is dangerous and actively minimizes serious mental illness and child abuse

the main caveat is just that they're mostly all fucking retards and figuring shit out so if you get involved with them you're pretty much just self harming

yo btw i meant to say "people" not girls, i didn't really intend for this to be a gendered discussion, and, like i said in my other self-reply, i'm not endorsing acting on that capacity for attraction if the dynamic/age gap would make it morally wrong.

i mean, no, that's pretty fucked up, maybe at the very most his ability to feel on a base level some amount of attraction towards you is semi-normal, that's about where the normalness ends, rest of everything you've said sounds very messed up and wrong.
