Do you think it's weird and/or predatory for a 13 year-old and a 30 year-old to be best friends if they're not family members or related by blood? Assuming everything is innocent and platonic. Nothing romantic or sexual.

Yes, it's weird and predatory

It's weird. But not predatory

It's predatory. But not weird

No, it's not weird or predatory

unpopular opinion but I don't think there's anything weird or predatory about an innocent friendship

[dianxiacantastemolecules]

The question is why the fuck is a thirty year old hanging out with a 13 year old if not in their family?? The only other relation that could have them interact is through teacher/student and bring friends like that would be weird as fuck

[creelson]

found family? the kid not feeling safe in their house? the adult wanting to help? family / teacher / school isn't always a guaranteed safe place. should the kid and adult each have friends that are their own age too? sure. but if their friendship is genuinely innocent then I think the problem isn't them but people who project their weird and predatory thoughts onto them

[the-bar-sinister]

Don't forget shared hobbies?

A 13 year old and a 30 year old could reasonably meet at a tabletop gaming store, a fiber arts group, a book club....

[audacityinblack]

They could literally just be neighbors. This whole isolationist thing of never even talking to the people you live closest to is new and weird.

[mstrickynici]

The thing that makes it weird is the "best" friend. If it's just friends ok, but best friends requires some form of equality.

Like theres no question the kid could go to the adult with their problems or if they need help, but you can't expect a kid to deal with an adults problems and/or be their emotional support.

Being best friends doesn't just involve having fun together, its helping each other as well.

[decemberwinter]

I mean my best friend is literally my cat so

imo "best friend" isn't necessarily always about someone you can reply on emotionally or someone you must share your experience or your trauma with. if you have a good time and are comfortable with their presence then you can consider them your best friend. that's why I voted not weird or predatory.

it would be weird if the adult started trauma dumping on the kid. but this poll didn't say anything about that so the best friend part alone is still not weird or predatory

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

we're not ever gonna make this website a safe space for black people or have a substantial black user base anymore unless y'all (non blacks obv) come to grips with the fact that y'all hold internal biases whether some of y'all be blatantly racist and hide behind your disabilities/mental illnesses queerness/transness or it's something as simple as if you see black face on your dash you immediately swipe up

[chilewithcarnage]

I dip into a lot of spaces on this site. non black fandomites I don't ever see you all discuss or celebrate the black characters in the media you partake in. You don't reblog fanart or gifsets of said black characters. You actively don't follow and ignore the black fans in the space you occupy. When the topic of racism gets discussed in these fandoms there's a lot of denial and throwing stones and hiding hands. On queer visibility days I don't ever see y'all reblogging selfies of black trans women, black trans men, black lesbians black gays or black bisexuals. I very rarely see y'all circulating mutual aid posts of black users. People in NSFW arenas, I don't ever see you reblog content of black swers. For whatever reason y'all keep the black people in your likes. It requires posts to be made by white and non black people discussing racism and social justice to actually get some traction when black tumblr users will make the same talking points but get a fraction of the notes.

need to start doing this

[0x1-deactivated20220826]

dick makes people mentally ill. dick havers, dick wannabes and dick lovers are all insane. it's like toxoplasmosis, you have compulsive need to defend and push and worship dicks all the time and spead your dick mania to everywhere you go.

this seems rational and grounded in empirical evidence

the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.

[problemnyatic]

You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it

[problemnyatic]

you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.

[livseses]

Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

[emnesoi0]

the problem with visual novels is that they are novels, but they are almost exclusively sold on video game distribution platforms, which means that they're novels being read by gamers who are by and large entirely unequipped to critique that medium
