However, less squick over Kate and Derek (because, y'know, a teenage boy should count himself "lucky" if a hot older woman wants to deflower him). Likewise, adult men with teenage girls is often seen as just fine so long as it is "romantic" and not just sex. Twilight ran on this,because I don't care what SMeyers said about vampires being mentally stuck at their original age. Edward never acted like an actual teenager at any point in the franchise.

Plus, this is Lydia we're talking about. She once flirted with Chris Argent! Not that anyone with functioning eyesight wouldn't. But the implication was that she would have given it a go if he had responded.

Kate and Derek has always squicked me out. Partly due to the age, mostly because she's a horrible person who we know used him in more ways than just sexually.

I'm actually a Sterek fan, but because of the age issue, I don't think it should be canon, at least not until we get an 18th birthday for Stiles.

I'm sure Edward was fairly normal for a 17 year old in 1918. The thing is, 17 year olds in 1918 are far more mature and grew up in an entirely different world than we do now. He would've actually been an adult. But yea, you can't tell me that being around that long doesn't affect your maturation. I...enjoyed the series when I read it, but I can't reread the damn thing.

Which episode did Lydia flirt with Chris? I'm not remembering this and feel I must see it for my life to be complete. However, flirting with no expectation of it being taken up is a lot different than a teenager actually being in an illegal relationship with a cop
