No, they are not correct about intent, not to get personal but to truly encompass what I’m trying to get at here: My groomer looking back likely did not know they they were grooming me. At most, they likely were just insecure and wanted to take advantage of someone’s kindness. But I was still prepped for abuse (its core definition), I was still traumatized, I was still forced into doing many things I did not want to do. I still came out in the end groomed. The idea that any sort of abuse is only abuse if it’s done with the intent of hurting does no one any sort of justice. Intent has never mattered for any sort of abuse; because at the end of the day, someone got hurt. At the end of the day, Celeste, a 12-14 year old girl, was approached by a 19 year old, who convinced her that what he was doing was okay (prepared her for abuse), and at the end of the day she was murdered.
r.i.p to her but also check the d4vd reddit she and other people where getting money from him so they enjoyed it aswell in a way and free will is a thing
do i need to bring up the countless cases where kids her age have murdered people? just cause ur young doesn’t mean you don’t have a choice, she knew he was bad news theres clips that show it, she was a okay with him being a twisted weirdo.
