"No we are not saying that teenagers are not vulnerable to being taken advantage of- we are just saying that people who hone in on Ellen's "I was just a child" are stupid, because that does not mean Ellen was a literal child, she might at best have been a teenager when she had her first sexual encounter with Orlok-no it isn't weird at all to push this point whenever a discussion of CSA is brought up, rather people not JUST focusing on it as a metaphor for sexual awakening lack media literacy because they are taking Ellen's protests against Orlok too literally- no there is no irony in this, even though we are discussing a character who famously gets frustrated in the movie because no one deigns to listen to what she is saying-no it is stupid to read into Orlok's you awakened me enchantress, you are my affliction to Ellen ( who previously just said that she had been a child) and not draw any uncomfortable conclusions about victim blaming-no it is not at all dangerous to imply that abuse always exists in exclusion to desire and romance."
