From: (Anonymous)(I mean this entirely separately from the post above, which I don't agree with. Even beyond the fact that it's by definition not pedophilia even if one is being creepy about a sixteen-year-old, the reblogged post that sparked the callout wasn't even bad.)

From: (Anonymous)I have noticed an increasing trend lately where the definition of "child" or just "young" kind of...shifts upwards, I guess? It's weird, because there's two competing things - one where the second someone hits 18 it's creepy for them to be friends with/follow anyone underage, and the other where young adults are treated almost like children ("X needs protection, they're only 19/20/21, leave them alone", etc).
I have some theories as to why they're both happening, but it's definitely something I've noticed both in hockey tumblr and as a part of general tumblr culture.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)...which is to say that there may be some moralizing about how young the guys are even if they're 18+ because of that second trend. Sorry, I realized after I hit post that I left out the one sentence that actually responds to your comment.

From: (Anonymous)I've seen people on tumblr claim it's inappropriate for someone over the age of 18 to interact with someone under the age of 18. Like, ever. I don't understand.

From: (Anonymous)Yeah, I pretty much agree with you. I think "hey, try not to be a creep when talking about somebody who's 16" is a valid point but I don't even see that very much/at all. I reread the original post and it very much seems like the anon OP has some kind of issue with shipping juniors players in general for whatever reason and decided to take it out on this one specific person. I really don't understand the logic jump between reblogging/deleting a post about treating pedophilia and some kind of tacit acknowledgement of being a pedophile that's implied in the OP's post.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Even aside from the pedophilia stuff, the rhetoric in that post is just kinda off mark and wrong-headed. I don't think that many people are writing fic about these players solely BECAUSE they are young "barely legal" hockey players. Instead people are Canadian and are really engaged with their local team and really like the league and the way their faves play hockey, or they liked the McJesus draft class narrative. And those players happen to be young. So why call it fetishistic? Just to be outraged?
The way they treat sex is also not good in my opinion. Sex is not an inherently bad or dirty thing. Obvi. Healthy sexual exploration is fine. Calling people "barely legal" like it should have scare quotes around it or acting like an 18 year old is pure and virtuous and should be protected from horny 21 year olds is just roll eyes, without even taking into account the demographic we're talking about.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I admit I'm kind of backing out hockey fandom because the focus seems to be on guys juuuust young enough to be my biological kids now, whereas when I started it was on the older juggernaut pairing guys. I'm not that old, but old enough to feel weird creeping through a 19 year old's IG. That said, there is pretty much never anything to be won from pearl-clutching and finger-wagging at fandom's morals. Don't like, don't read, ship and let ship, etc.
