seeing these 18+ yr olds obsessing over that little stranger kids boy…i think im going to lose my lunch
Also, all those kids (Stanger Things & It) have stated on MULTIPLE occasions they find it extremely uncomfortable and weird..
Poor boy had to make a PSA stating he’d like to hang out with Finn without people shipping them and saying that they’re dating. Like?
Enjoy the programs, love the cast, and be part of a fandom but for the love of God don’t treat child actors like adults.
It’s because these women, who firmly believe their fetishization of “delicate” feminine young boys is different than men who prey on teenage girls, are fucking freaks and never been told that their weird obsessions are weird/gross
Also you really shouldn’t be obsessing/shipping any real living people
I mean ESPECIALLY NOT CHILDREN/TEENAGERS HOLY SHIT
I mean damn a 14 year old youtuber made a video on why he doesn’t want to be shipped with his friend and he got hate! By a bunch of adults!!
Y’all this is relevant af. You know I’m pro ship but people need to understand that there is a massive difference between fictional characters and real people, especially when the real people are minors. Don’t treat real people like fictional characters and if someone says something makes them uncomfortable, especially if they’re a kid, stop doing it.
Sexualising real life minors for ships goes past ‘free shipping’ and is legitimate predatory behaviour.
Don’t do it.
There’s a line when it comes to shipping, and when you’re harassing and sexualising a real life minor and making them clearly uncomfortable, you’ve crossed that line and need to rethink what you’re doing.
Real people aren’t fictional characters and you should not treat them as such.
