Exactly, it’s only a 2 year difference. I see people in my high school and other ones that have relationships where both of the people are 2+ years apart. No one cares but when it’s a influencer it’s suddenly a big deal.
I generally agree, but for this particular situation it's 2 things for me: 1. HE clearly thought he was doing something wrong, for whatever reason, but does it anyway; 2. He was specifically "targeting" girls who were fans of his and whatever that group was Then besides the gap, there's the creepiness of young people over 18 (under 21) specifically going after kids in high school, regardless of the age gap.
Seeing people call someone a predator when the accused and victim are like 1 or 2 years apart got me feeling confused on how to feel about it too lmao. In my high school time in I’ve seen popular girls in my grade date someone older when they’re not 18 years old yet and the boys would always be like a grade or 2 grades above the girls. I was friends with like 2 popular girls too and didn’t judge them or anything cause idgaf. but like I seen those ALL the time back then. So what I’m saying now is that idk how to feel about someone being a predator when they are both young and close to their age anyways when it was a everyday thing I’ve seen.
Yea creepy guy got his career ruined for nothing in my opinion 🤷🏽♀️, also her saying she was groomed idk it was also weird to me just because he is literally a kid too only 2 years older then her but i understand her.
Yeah it's a grey area. On one hand, it's literally only two years. On the other, I see a pretty large maturity difference in that relationship. I know I was a LOT more mature and aware at 19/20 than I was at 17. But again, it's only two years so I don't know. I'm personally not a fan of "celebrities" or "influencers" initiating any kind of sexual relationship with fans (especially not younger fans) because I do feel like there's an unfair power dynamic/pressure there, but that's personal opinion.
I don't think 19 and 17 is a huge age gap but in most states a 19 year old is an adult and a 17 year old is a minor so I can understandy why it can be an issue
I’m so tired of ppl acting like everyone under 18 is completely oblivious to everything… like bruh they know what’s going on especially in this generation.
I think it’s more about kids/teens (minors in general) being manipulated easier and there is a power imbalance between a child and an adult. Especially a famous adult. You can know what’s going on and still be easily manipulated, especially if you’ve had something similar happen in the past which can cause you to freeze up, give in or feel like you “deserve it”.
17 and 19 isn't enough to get that much of a reaction. Even though I think it's a decent maturity gap (some people disagree, but I was personally a *lot* more mature at 19 than 17), it's still only 2 years. The parasocial relationship is more of an issue to me. I'm personally not a fan of "celebrities" or "influencers" initiating any kind of sexual relationship with fans (especially not younger fans) because I do feel like there's an unfair power dynamic/pressure there, but that's personal opinion.
I do see an issue at like a 3 to 4 year split. Like the major cut off of "you're clearly creepy" is 20 to 21 in my mind. With whatever nuances go around that. I get in the RU-vidr situation there's a power struggle, and predation there on the fan. But 19? I wouldn't say predator, or even groomer, but just kinda... sad? Desperate? Like I'm calling him creepy, no matter the age gap... because just don't break the law, and keep away from underage people... but grooming? What was he doing grooming himself and the girl? I dunno about all that.
A lot of people said the same thing about the Carson situation. I feel like he got ran off because of the initial shock of the situation, and I think there were other talks of grooming in the media. There was also a grooming awareness going on in that month of internet culture. It just burned up instantly.
I always thought that 17 and 19 isn’t that bad I think relationships should be based on mental development. Like a 17 and 19 year old are not much different it’s just 2 years like 20 and 22 nobody would say anything. I would say when it comes to underage people in relationships two years is the max difference mentally.
I don’t think anyone should lose their career because of being in adult content. But I do think that pranks going too should be punished and not promoted on RU-vid!
Ok, you can't compare this Carson situations like a normal 17 and 19. 1. He is a famous RU-vidr, there is a power imbalance right there already. 2. She going to school, she is living with her parents, she has a curfew and has to answer to her parents while he is living alone, not going to school and basically in control of his own life. 3. He only was only targeting young girls in his fanbase, girls he could easy manipulate because of his following. That is the problem to me. I don't know Carson and I don't know this girl but I do know when something is sketchy. Now that I think even in a normal 17 and 19 relationship, still a power imbalance
That Carson situation was weird. Like, 2 years ain't that bad, it could've been way worse, and yes legally speaking it was wrong but like... what? I've seen worse honestly. Though those people saying stay away from my kids and "hmu for a good time im a 15 y.o girl" like... he didn't do it with some young girl like they're making it sound they were practically women at that point being 17 n all.
dee has said multiple that no one makes her watch anything she doesn’t want to if she didn’t want to watch the video she would have said “imma head out” 3 mins in
Everyone's drug experience is different depends on how much he did how strong it was and what he felt personally going thru it I'm not defending him I'm just saying it's real close minded to just take your experience and apply it to everyone elses
I honestly dont care if this opinion is labeled as controversial, but if you're 1-2 years or even 1-3 years apart it aint even that bad, like i know some people who were like 16 dating an 18 year old, like yeah the law says you're legally an adult by 18 but honestly you could be considered an "adult" based on maturity and i know VERY young people who are mature for their age so I honestly dont see what all the fuss is about if they're literally only 1-2 or even 1-3 years apart like its not as bad as a 28 year old grooming a god damn 15 year old.
