Sweet story but yeah this is one of those stories where the gender, age and physical appearance of the characters changes things. It's also the energy, mutual attraction of the characters, and how they come across to each other, under any other context this would have been so creepy lol.
Well, that’s the point of context—it doesn’t mean much to say that if the story were different, it would be different. The events and actions don’t exist in isolation where they can be judged “objectively.”
There’s a whole series of jokes/memes that consist of brutally simplistic paraphrases of famous works:
Two teenagers disobey their parents and then kill themselves. (Romeo & Juliet)
A poor girl agrees to marry a rich man after he goes blind. (Jane Eyre)
A kid goes into outer space and finds his long-lost dad, who cuts off his arm. (Star Wars)
Well, yes to all. But there’s more to it than that . . .
