[Pretty Little Liars] I'm suddenly remembering how much NOPE I felt about the first season of this show with the Aria/Fitz plot
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
because hahahaha normalizing pederasty
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
There is no amount of numbers fudging that makes it even remotely okay because she's 16 and he is AT LEAST 21
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
and her teacher
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
it bothers me because the rest of this show is really good, iirc
ALEX NO
yeah dude, it's so fucked up. Like if you wanna do it do it but call it what it is: fucked up.
ALEX NO
The show romanticizes the fuck out of it though and I'm like. Nah man, no.
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
It could have been really cool if it had been like...attributed to her acting out
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
and he had been arrested for it and everyone had been like NOPE NOT COOL
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I'm angrier at Fitz's character because like. He's a fucking adult.
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
He KNOWS BETTER
ALEX NO
Seriously. But it's like so much romanticizing of this shit. Call it out.
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
SIMILARLY, not cool that an entire family is blaming their 16 year old child when a grown man kisses her.

/side-eyes Spencer's fam
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
but iirc slutshaming spencer is a thing with this show
