     @cryborg I do think just being normal to kids is important. Treating them like they deserve to be ignored and erased can be harmful to their development. Theyre gonna grow up to be adults who will remember in core memories who was nice to them and encouraged them.
     
     I think we should still question people who are being creepy to kids, obviously, but the paranoia around this to the extent that you can't even wave back at a kid who is waving to you is kinda r worded

     @cryborg It’s so fucking extremely devious and evil – that idea that trans or gay or any kind of queer older people by default would even consider having a presumably inappropriate relationship on any level with someone younger, whether they’re very young or not. People need guidance and role models. That’s a need. The absence of people who have done a lot of living in the lives of younger people seeking people like them is terrible, and the cause of a lot of strife and pain, and reinventing the wheel only way worse. It’s such an obvious psyop it makes me want to scream.

     @cryborg It pushes healthy, mutually respectful inter-generational queer relationships that don’t involve any abuse at all to the margins where all these dysfunctional norms reproduce themselves over and over. The fact that this is at all controversial, or that people have adopted the “I hate kids or anyone younger than me” as a shield against this fucking narrative sucks and enables so much horrid shit. Even the “young people’s immaturity makes me want to avoid them” narrative itself is brought into being by a lack of role models and guidance and normal shit causing younger people to have no goddamn idea how to be.
