The only option is to leave her alone because the more people say it’s a problem the less likely she will snap out of it. Grooming victims will believe their abusers aren’t doing anything wrong and will always protect them. It’s not her fault for getting groomed but her actions do mirror Liz Gillies from victorious who met her future husband on set (she was 15 he was 36). He convinced Liz’s parents to have her privately stay at his house during production of victorious. Despite all this they conveniently said they started dating when she was 18. Michelle’s mom severely fucked up having Gabe (a grown ass man) move into their house for singing lessons. This entire situation gives me the ick and it doesn’t help the fandom involved was intended for little girls.
At this rate she will never snap out of it due to the backfire effect these morons keep causing.
The fact she went into the cope and seethe video defending the guy should be proof enough alone that they are causing her to latch onto him even more.
If she was groomed by him, then them trying to bully her at all just destroyed any chance of her waking up from the manipulation for at least a few years.
Now if she has those thoughts of being groomed, she will 100% believe they planted it, and it is just overthinking bullshit instead of questioning her reality.
This is why you don't play internet hero with serious situations like this especially bullying the victim in addition.
Abuse victims are in those situations due to extreme manipulation or fear.
They are surrounded by people like family who have normalized abuse in some form.
From the ground up, they already did not have a stable, normal life to develop the skills to recognize or fight back.
You are never going to "wake them up," by being abusive/talking down to them, how the fuck do people think they got here to begin with?
Grooming victims latch because the groomer knows they are emotionally vulnerable, and uses it against them by pretending to be the loving, stable person in thier life.
Why do these morons think they go after weak and vulnerable kids?
When you act like an asshole, you will reinforce that belief that this person is the only one who understands/cares about them.
If you aren't willing to have patience, and talk reasonably with them, you need to fuck off.
These people being a clout hungry whores trying to "be the one to free her," is only making the situation worse for everyone involved.
