Hot take: being into kids is a spectrum and guys who fetishize girls who are “barely legal” are on it (I developed this opinion after processing two 13+ year age gap relationships)
Yo like why is there so many child predators

If they could go younger without breaking the law, they probably would, let’s be so fr

As weird as this sounds I feel like it’s also related to misogyny

100% and it’s so weird because they’ll actually admit that that’s the youngest they’ll go because that’s what’s technically legal.

i recently turned 20 so i realize im not a teen anymore and there are ppl closer to “barely legal” but i still get so uncomfortable when i find that there are guys 34+ that find my age attractive :/ i even had a 30 yo tell me that he liked me and how naive and innocent i was since im 20. but then ppl make me feel stupid when they say “you’re an adult, age doesn’t matter anymore” so i just shut up.

I mean, you’re not wrong… the difference is heavily emphasized during academic research but in everyday talk it’s not

Like 90% of child predictors are men. Hate for children is driven by misogyny. They think they can get away with it because plenty of other men have gotten away with it, especially if they’re white. You know what I mean?

100%. It’s dominance, power, and control. The fetishization of youth has to main aspects imo - aesthetics and power. I can’t argue with what aesthetics they’re attracted (like I can think it’s creepy but I can’t argue) BUT if someone is older, more experienced, and more mature, they almost definitely have more power.

EXACTLY - like 18 is some magic number that changes everything - it’s literally not. That makes no sense.

I’m aware of the concept of a cougar but I’ve literally never encountered one so idk how I’d have a take on that. Women fetishizing younger men isn’t a widespread cultural concept. Open any porn site and you’ll see a million videos describing the woman as 18 or a teenager but I’ve never once noticed a video highlighting the youth of a man

Your reasoning to not have anything bad to say about it is that it seems to not happen as often. Not the best logic and appears like you’re moreso making n an exception for women because it’s more socially permissible to shame men
