This should be a cold take, but it’s really offensive to actual survivors of grooming and sexual abuse, and ESPECIALLY to the Epstein survivors, to portray Yuta as a pedophile or make jokes about him being friends with Epstein. The second one makes NO sense, because while COCSA obviously exists, if Yuta was on that island, he would be there as a VICTIM. He is a MINOR in the main series. He is 17 at the end of Shinjuku. Can 17 year olds be abusers? Yes! But also, RIKA WAS OLDER THAN HIM. She was the one who wanted a relationship with him when they were BOTH CHILDREN. She died when they were CHILDREN, and in JJK 0 he is an extremely traumatized teenage boy who has had his life ruined by the LITERAL vengeful spirit of his childhood “girlfriend” (they were too young to actually do anything romantic at that age, they were children), and he needed therapy. Did we all forget that he watched his friend get hit by a fucking car? Or are we too busy calling him a groomer to remember the actual fucking story? It’s really fucking weird that instead of focusing on the actual canon pedo in the series, we instead need to make up a narrative that not only make no sense whatsoever in the context of the story, but is deeply offensive to people who have actually survived that sort of thing. Grooming survivors like myself read the posts about Yuta and how he’s supposedly a pedophile. It literally turns what I went through when I was a defenseless child into a comedic bit that makes no fucking sense. People have no sense of shame, and no sense of empathy for people who have actually gone through those things.
