So is "grooming" another word we can add to the list of words that now mean whatever you want them to?
Some teenager messaging sexual stuff (to another teenager) and wanting to see their shitty porn is in literally no conceivable way "grooming" lmao. She contacted her first, he initiated it, she blocked him....wot?
While I agree she may not have been "grooming" by wanting to gain something from a minor typically sexual and self-serving in nature, she was encouraging inappropriate behavior by choosing to entertain him and not block him immediately. I can say she most likely did this because she's stupid and not malicious.
But this isn't a "teenager talking with another teenager".
This is a 15-year-old, talking to an almost 20-year-old.
She did not block him immediately and instead chose to entertain him with advice regarding NSFW and making a private account and whatever else was there (even if it made her "uncomfortable") for some time before doing so.
THEN she blocked him (iirc), but then unblocked him to "make-up". Supposedly became friends again, according to Green (a short-lived event) after the grooming scare.
But her behavior with him was still not appropriate. For someone who explicitly needs an "18+" in her Twitter, she still interacted with and encouraged this 15-year-old.
They're both stupid, but you can see where Autumn slipped up and why Twitter has their pitchforks out.
Autumn then suicide baited, and Green thought it was his fault.
She then privated her account, tried to defend herself, and now her and Green have "talked for the last time".
It was by far from a "he asked to see her nsfw, she blocked him"
