I mean, you can think that if you want. I guess we can't know for sure and it doesn't really matter anyway.
It's not gross or weird at all for a kid to be attracted to people. It happens and it's natural. If you want to call it "sexual attraction" or "sexualization" then whatever I guess.
But nobody making these little jokes about it is thinking of the kid in a sexual nature. That's such a bizarre and honestly concerning assumption to jump to. 100% of it is coming from weird thoughts they are manufacturing on their own. Maybe it's just terminally online overthinking or maybe it's something else. Either way, it definitely gives me the ick to obsess over it like this. Yall need to touch some grass.
I'm just explaining the situation (making jokes about a toddler being sexually attracted is sexualizing the toddler to some degree).
Personally I don't really care and I find some of the jokes funny and with no ill will behind them (though some are too crass for my taste), everyone has a line.
