Can you call it grooming in romance stories, where they met when the mc is an Adult and the guy theyre supposed to be in a relationship later on in the story was a child.. and they watched him grow up? like basically raising him and shit but later on develops feelings for him when he's a full grown adult? does that make sense like.. Imagine raising a kid and watching him grow up? how do you feel about it when you read a story involving that plot?

I would say.. it's grooming adjacent. It's definitely predatory and weird. ESPECIALLY if they watched them grow up that's way more disgusting than if they met sometimes as child and adult and dated years later (which is still a bit weird).

i think it really depends because a lot of times its grooming adjacent and that is seriously dangerous. This topic needs to be more naunced in terms of what age the boy was and when the feelings developed. If the boy was under the age of 20 when the feelings occured it is seriously questionable but the most important thing is the MCs actual views a...... 2 reply

This is why reading comprehension is important, grooming is the act of knowingly raising someone with the end goal of sexually exploating them but thats not the case in *most* mangas/webtoons dealing with that trope, it's usually the love interest that starts to initiate the blossoming romance and the older one feeling conflicted because they alway...... 1 reply

Whenever I see a 40 year old FL raise a 5 year old boy and then say a single fucking line like ''wow he's gonna be handsome when he grows up'' I immediately drop that story and never touch it again. Reminds me of that one story where 50 year old FL possessed a 15 year old girl and got force wed to a 10 year old boy. The boy was traumatized and ask...... 1 reply

Sleeps In Sunbeams 12 09,2023

I read an Omegaverse like that once. It was so sad coz the adult recognised his fated mate but they were still a child. So he approached the mom, told her, and asked to be part of the boys life. He kept everything very appropriate and loved the boy, but never let on how difficult it was for him. And he had a lot of joy too, so it was bittersweet. ...... 3 reply
