I've always felt so bizarre to separate the emotional from the sexual attraction. Plus, they're kids!!! They don't know what it's like to feel physical attraction....

Society basically forgot platonic love is a thing and decided to label it as emotional attraction. At least that's what I think it is.

It also explains why 2 people aren't allowed to be close friends in any book, TV show, or movie without people screaming about the writers ship baiting or whatever other nonsense.

Kids are going to be so fucked up.

A friend and I had a long talk about this once. I was saying I thought that there was too much emphasis put on sexual/romantic attraction in general. And that was causing people to forget that platonic affection exists.
