Re: Is Credence a minor? If so, then should it be tagged "underage"

I don't understand relying on official word* of a character's age to embrace a ship. Also, would his being 17 vs 18 vs 21 really make that much difference? Base your decision on whether or not you're 'allowed' to enjoy it on your own instincts, and be mindful of how your question, innocent though it may have been, can seem like condemnation to a contingent of fans already being shamed by some who don't like a particular pairing.

*The screenplay is as good as we're likely to get here

Believe it or not, there are some parts of the world where reading/writing explicit fiction involving fictional underage characters isn't always legal. So some people would rather avoid stories about underage characters for that reason.

If we're talking about abuse and grooming though, age itself isn't deterministic of a person's vulnerability to either. Whatever his age, in the film Credence was subjected to abuse and grooming. So yeah, I'm also struggling to understand why Credence being a technical adult would somehow make that abuse and grooming... less wrong?
