I don’t agree with his actions but it’s not grooming.
As you said she is an adult, grooming involves children.
Why does she not know about kissing or intercourse you might add? Because she’s a MERMAID.
I don’t agree with the behavior but please stop shoving words around and making it seem like an author is a pedo because you’re not using the correct word choice.
exactly, she is a mermaid not a human. he aped her. she didn't know what he was doing to her. also adults know what intercourse is. he didn't get her consent
to me, this is adjacent to grooming. idc what you think. if you enjoy this and don't find anything sus about it, idk what to tell you. her "innocence" and obliviousness sounds like a predatory kink. like why would I read this crap?
he literally aped her and treats her as subhuman. I hate him so much it's not even funny. if he wants to die so much, why doesn't he do it? what a coward and hypocrite. also this is grooming. she's technically an adult, but doesn't understand what kissing or intercourse is. he forced himself onto her, it's predatory
