Understandable you'd feel this way but you have to remember that this is a historical fantasy where marriage is like this happened all the time especially if they're taking it from a historical context in he is just comparing or how he changed how you still like running to him reading books and stuff nothing sexual or anything so technically this is on a good note cuz if they were doing it on point with the accuracy it would have been much worse like other artists have done
No bc you're the only one with logic rn T_T. I keep getting wierd vibes from age gaps bc it's not abt age gaps it's about when you get together. Even 20 year age gap is nothing when is like 40 and 60 but even a 7 year age gap is wierd if it's 19 and 26. Like how difficult it is for people to understand this. And spare me with "nothing happened" okay and?! They're married that's what happened!! A person you're married to, you're either SPECIFICALLY told that the marriage is only for the namesake and you can't explain it to a child though. Marriage is about romantic partners, kids have this thinking. They're going to subconsciously think of the other one as their partner. It should be responsibility of older ones to not let children marry!! As someone who lives in country and region where child marriages were previously prevalent, and my grandma got married as teen, and know quite few stories from just 1 or 2 gen ago, having child marriage. It's not fantasical concept it's not a fun AU thing. It's real and I can't help but scoff at how wierd it is to add child marriage, political or not, WITH AN ADULT !! two children forced to marry and a child getting married to adult is different things, both have negetive repercussions but atleast in one case, one party is sensible enough to speak and didn't speak what the hell come on don't pmo.
Sorry for the rant and all but I can never accept wierd age gaps and nobody calls BWAT out for this and glazes this author but this author got some wierd age gap fetish or what. A younger seme does NOT equalise the power imbalance sorry. Korean fujo mindset pmo T_T.
I think some of you need to take a breather and remember that this is a fictional story. I'm not dismissing the real thing that's happening, but this story is a mere fiction, not a reality. I think comparing this to a real case is disrespectful to the actual victims.
People who read or make this kind of story doesnt make them actually normalize this kind of thing. I would be more concerned about people on social media who still defends and idolize the actual predators and pedofiles instead of being terrified of a fictional story.
Although, if this kind of thing bothers you, its better for you to stop reading this story. No one is forcing anyone to finish a story they are uncomfortable with. Do whatever feel comfortable for you.
You can say you dont like some stuff, but dont confront people who consume it on the media its displayed in. Its like you enter a lion's cage and yelling at the lion for being there.
???? We're well aware that it's a fictional story, and I can assure you that anyone who cares has stopped. Don't go spouting some bullshit about how we shouldn't be talking about our opinions on the story IN the discussion area where you talk about your opinions on the story just because it's not the most liked one.
Consuming media--real or fake--that openly waters down the reality of how disgusting situations like this are by putting a rose tinted filter and the tag of romance over it can and WILL influence it's readers. As much as you may LOVE to preach that fictional stories don't affect reality and that nobody will actually normalize this, that his wholeheartedly wrong. EVERYBODY falls victim to propaganda whether they know what it is or not--I am not SAYING that this story IS propaganda, but it can have damn near similar affects when spreading straight pedophilia under the guise of romance.
I am not limited to making ONE post about something I care about like this. My dislike for the sexualization of children and romanticization of gross relationships with imbalanced power between the two recipients isn't limited to Mangago's comment sections just because I chose to speak about it here underneath a deeply disturbing story rather than anywhere else.
Fictional or not, you are disgusting for believing that a child belongs anywhere near a sexual relationship, be it in flashbacks or not.

I’m sorry but it’s WEIRD that the author CHOSE to introduce them when he was a CHILD and it’s even weirder that it keeps being brought up. ESPECIALLY given the state of the world and Epstein list can we please have ONE SPACE that DOESN’T romanticize relationships WITH CHILDREN?????
