Still minors. And a pedo is a pedo. If we use your logic. If a pedo texts a minor (also a teen is still a minor in most countries) and acts sexual towards them and flirts with them you are saying it doesn’t count because it’s online? Anyone who is attracted to children needs to get help. Most actually pedophiles who are into minors reading fictional things want to do it to real children and use it as a substitute. Eventually those urges get so strong that they manifest it in real life. You act like “IRL” pedos just come out of nowhere. And don’t revert the conversation to “They are 17” because that’s not what we are talking about. We are talking about how you said “it’s just fiction.” We can have a polite conversation about this but let’s not try to change the topic.

pls dont forget theyre literally children
