I’m really sitting here having to explain to grown men (white gay men, jot that down) why it’s not ok for a relationship between a 17 year old and a 24 year old to be “goals” or “representation” or just like exist at all lol. Let’s set aside the fact that a grown man finding sexual attraction in someone who looks 17 or younger is just gross
It’s predatory, first and foremost. It doesn’t matter how mature a 17 year old thinks they are, there’s a significant amount of life lessons and growing they haven’t experienced in that 7 YEAR AGE GAP that would affect the consent they’re giving the older person in the equation. The amount of power imbalance status wise and, more often than not physically, in society makes it rape culture.
No grown ass man should be utilizing that kind of inherent leverage over someone that young for romantic/sexual favors. Besides, I repeat; why is a 24 year old sexually interested in someone with the appearance and mentality of an adolescent??? Why are white gays like this?? But anywhore…..go buy “Moonlight” on DVD Blu-Ray!
