#Edwin x the cat king bashing

[aphelion-neon]

Do people not realize that Edwin x The Cat King is pedophilic? Like Edwin is still a child and the Cat King a grown man.

Yes Edwin has been around since 1900, but he’s still a kid, hence Dead BOY detectives. Ghosts don’t age after they die, they are stuck the exact same age as when they passed away. Edwin died when he was 15/16, he is still 15/16. Yes, he is more mature than other teens, but that just means he’s a mature for his age. His brain isn’t fully developed, and never will be. No matter how long he is around he is still a kid. Mentally and physically. Even in the show they consider themselves teens, for example when Charles is talking to Crystal and says “I’m loving talking to someone my age”. Referencing how he is still 15/16, even when he died a long time ago.

The Cat King isn’t another dead teen, he’s a whole adult who ages. He’s past the age where his is fully developed by a long time. Physically and mentally an adult. It’s rlly fucking weird how he’s attracted to someone who’s physically 15/16. Whatever argument you wanna make about Edwin’s age, you cannot deny his physical age of a teenager. Just bc the actor isn’t a teen, doesn’t change the fact that he’s canonically has 15/16 yr old body that the Cat King is attracted to.

I’m not saying to hate the Cat King, just acknowledge that Catwin is a problematic ship. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
