continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

I'm from the midwest and my sister often describes my interactions with my nephew as us "flirting." What she describes as flirting is him thinking I'm cool and great so be becomes COMPLETELY FLUSTERED and excited when I look over and like, smile or wink at him. Seriously, if I look at him and smile, he'll just bury his face in his hands and giggle forever. (He's a toddler). It's perfectly harmless, and it weirded me out a little at first that my sis called it flirting, but once I realized she wasn't sexualizing our interactions it stopped bothering me.

But I also don't have a history of sexually abusing others. So yeah, I get that flirting is not intent to engage in sex and that the word can mean other things, but Andy making a point that he is not trying to have sex with two year olds makes me really uncomfortable. I don't think he's a pedophile but it feels really weird, especially considering Abbey's story about pumpkins.
