I think they were just pointing out that it's not technically pedophilia since that's what the anon they were replying to referred to it as. and, well, it isn't pedophilia. that doesn't exactly make it a paragon of shipping obviously but there you go

Pedophilia refers to someone who is prepubescent. Snape fucking an 11 or 12 year-old Hermoine definitely is pedophilia.

Is that really what people are writing though? (I doubt it)

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Your doubt is valid. Most fics that I have encountered where a student character is shipped with one of the adults often sets the fic in the student's sixth year. Sure, not all of them do, but I think fics with younger children have become far rarer over the years, and the one example I can think of is one I encountered on AFF.net.

I think not only do people make sure to write of-age people on the bottom of their age gaps and are very afraid of accidentally making it look like pedophilia (or ephebophilia but I guess most people just lump them together and they're both creepy so yeah) but I also think peoples' kinks are more interested in both people being adults; it fits better with their fantasies and/or their preferred ship dynamics.

That's my guess at least based on what I've seen of this (fairly popular) trope. Personally I don't like age gaps
