Teens are fucking stupid tho

Anyone can be manipulated

Student/teacher relationships are an example of this

Cults also but that’s less relevant

ohai

They still have their own mind

at a certain point, they are adults, and make their own decisions, for better or worse

Ephebophilia is a thing.

Then why van grooming happen?

*can

Did they want to be groomed?

post 16, or post 18, they can do what they want, denying the agency is wrong

18 ye I agree

Grooming is what pedo's do to children, I would call what you describe as courting or charming

Oh okay

a 30-40 could charm a young woman with his experience, is that wrong?, I don't know

So a college professor is just “charming” a student into giving him sex for good grades

K

Grooming applies to anyone underage, and isn't limited to sex.

Nah that's just prostitution

For example, Mister Metokur grooms kids to troll people on the internet.

“Prostitution”

K

Definitely not a figure of authority manipulating a subordinate

But s u r e

Just arrived what are we talking about today ?

How is that "grooming"? lol, "have sex with me and you get an "A", I wouldn't call that grooming, more like an immoral bargain

That's grooming.

Duh.

“Have sex with me, and I’ll give you a good grade, if you don’t I’ll make sure you fail your course and never graduate”

Then its blackmail

But there's a distinction to be made

A cult leader grooms his cultists no?

Grooming is a specific form of manipulation, involving minors.

or anyone

@OneTrueGod @British Cigarette sounds horrible ether way you slide it.

It is

A cult leader grooms minorities. He indoctrinates adults.

Yes, its probably not ideal

but

and I abduct an adult and kidnap a child
