There was zero pedophile action between the ml and six as a kid.
And that a twelve year old has a crush on an adult? How is that different to teenager having a celbrity crush?
And yes it is a crush and a very reasonable one at that. Marlon was the first adult being nice to him and twelve year old kids are old enough to develope sexual interest without having any clue about what to do with their own feelings... its called puberty.
Yes there is human trafficing of minors. But its not like thats not a real thing happening to kids all over the world. Thats reality not sexual fantasy.
If you see that as a kink or project it on someone who did zero sexual action against the kid thats your problem not the stories.
Just because pedophily and human trafficing of minors are part of a story does not mean they are in anyway romantasized or justified.
There is a clear warning tag that human trafficing of minors is a theme.
If you have a problem with that and still keep reading thats on you, not the author.
