I know they're not, but this statement is more aimed at the people who actually WANT them to get together when he's only fourteen. I know it's normal to have crushes on people older than you at that age, but the romance tag makes me think it's going to end with them in a relationship. Be it when he's fourteen or when he's an adult, i think it's inappropriate. I never said this was sexualising it but it's definitively wrong.
Honestly, on this site there are tons of people who excuse a lot of disgusting things. So you saying people are too full of morals on this site is extremely ironic.

I already know that there are people who've read this who thinks this is fine, but a 14 year old girl and a grown up man is not.
Both are wrong and though this is just fiction, stuff like this shouldn't be excused or even published in the first place.
It's just like how lolicons and shotacon is wrong, you shouldn't feel so comfortable sexualising or setting children up with grown ass adults.
And yes, if you think loli's and shota's are disgusting but don't feel the same about a fourteen year old kid and a grown up having a relationship....that's a double standard.
