Wait wait wait, this just in from twitter apparently Boblena shippers are calling Bishova shippers pedophiles because of the age gap
Haha oh my god I love the internet
guuuuuurl that has been a thing since hawkeye lol when they were coming for my neck for the ace shit they were also calling me a pedo lover. as if they weren't both in their 20s lol. kate was like 23. yelena was 29. CALL THE POLICEEEEEEE words don't have meanings in 2025 anymore. truly.
but in all seriousness...y'all need to stop infantilizing yourselves and women in general. you don't understand how fascistic this talking point and the whole "raise the age of consent to 21/25" that people seem to be really into right now are. even if yelena was fucking 97. kate is a full grown adult who finished college. she is more than capable of deciding who she has sex with.
beyond ship nonsense...do you guys not understand what you're doing when you spread the whole "20 something year olds don't know what they're doing!" or the"raise the age of consent!" bullshit??? the age of consent dictates our entire lives. if the age of consent is raised to 21 or 25 that means YOU ARE LEGALLY INCAPABLE OF MAKING DECISIONS FOR YOURSELF UNTIL THAT TIME. that means women don't get to make healthcare decisions without the approval of their guardian, queer kids can be sent to conversion therapy at any point until that time because they'd still be under the control of a guardian, trans people wouldn't be able to transition because they'd be a "minor" as far as the law is concerned, kids from abusive homes couldn't move out at 18 because you can't sign a lease unless you're a legal adult. if you're not an adult until 21 or 25 you're stuck in your abusive homes. like...i need y'all to understand the implications of the shit y'all say. that would keep women under the control of their guardians (typically men) for 20+ years of their lives. and when the majority of men are becoming ultra conservative you understand where that leaves us correct?
as long as the decision is consensual and not made under duress, anyone over the age of 18 can and should be able to make decisions for themselves. about anything. including choosing to sleep with whoever the fuck they want. being well into her 20s by the time hawkeye happened, kate would be entirely capable of making those kinds of choices. and if you're saying she's not I NEED YOU TO FULLY COMPREHEND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THOSE BELIEFS IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR CURRENT SOCIOPOLITICAL CLIMATE. that is straight out of the fucking alt right. like...how are you this obtuse?
