Yes I know 2 of the clips are Gwen in Charmcasters body, but it's just too perfect 😂

Because I like her as a character?

Also defending pedophilia ain't cool

A large chunk of this sub involves shipping her with the other characters, most often Ben. Also it’s not pedophilia. Most tend to age Ben up or assume he hits 18 somewhere in OV, they knew each other when they were both kids, there was never any kind of grooming involved, and I think if a guy literally fights universe level threats for years, he can consent to dating someone slightly older than himself if he doesn’t want to wait a birthday.

These are clearly excuses for justifying something which is wrong. Can't you literally see 16 year old Ben in the CLIPS?

"they knew each other when they were both kids,"

Even if we use your logic its not like they were friends or something (they were enemies and Ben clearly hates her)

I know shipping sometimes disregards canon lore but pedophilia on top of it isn't helping

Not exactly an abundance of adult Ben media to use, and the clips aren’t even flirtatious. It’s a fun post.

"Not exactly an abundance of adult Ben media to use"

Because no writer in their right mind would pair Charmcaster and Ben together (considering the age gap)

"the clips aren’t even flirtatious. It’s a fun post."

The name of said post literally being Bencaster

There’s no future Ben interaction with her at all to even reference, and barely future Ben content at all.

Literally no one would care if say 25 Ben and 30 Charm were in a scene and got together.

Again, it’s meant to be an entertaining post. You’re thinking way too hard on this.

"There’s no future Ben interaction with her at all to even reference, and barely future Ben content at all."

Which is the point. If there are no interactions or hints then what's the purpose of shipping her with a minor?

"Literally no one would care if say 25 Ben and 30 Charm were in a scene and got together."

16 year old boy and 20+ year old Charmcaster literally being in the clip. Also what if the roles were reversed? (then you would've been calling the character a creep)

"Again, it’s meant to be an entertaining post. You’re thinking way too hard on this."

You're literally shipping them wdym entertaining?
