imma be honest with you, Idk about the groomer ace miss-information. Many just haven't seen the entire 1998 collection of those seasons (WHICH IS FREE BTW ON INTERNET ARCHIVE)
[Warning, I am anon because some dumb ass will really not understand this and tell me that I justify this behaviour WHICH I DO NOT ]
well, by legality, as stated by the The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART): "Grooming is a method used by offenders that involves building trust with a child and the adults around a child in an effort to gain access to and time alone with her/him. In extreme cases, offenders may use threats and physical force to sexually assault or abuse a child. More common, though, are subtle approaches designed to build relationships with families. "
at worst, you could put it as manipulation charge; presumably they were actually "friendly" with her, which was a lie just so that Buttercup wouldn't fight them and they could trap Blossom and Bubbles.
as for the weird comments I found scouring through the internet on Buttercup "loving" Ace, there is no actual suggestion that buttercup loved Ace, I honestly thought she just wanted new friends?
i'll leave it up to interpretation ig
I honestly do agree with this interpretation of it. How I saw it: Buttercup was just charmed with the gangreen gang from how they act similarly rowdy to her, and she just wanted some companionship which Ace would use so him and the gang could get away with crimes.
And for the misinformation part: the post I saw was made by some nostalgia-bait account on tiktok and a majority of the comments were from people who only saw Buttercrush once when they were like 7 years old.
So I do agree that they just don't properly remember anything about it, but that doesn't give them the excuse to just label Ace as some child predator from some 15 second cherry picked clips. 💔💔
