The anti-shipping stance in present-day fandom isn't "if there's a power imbalance, you need to acknowledge it." (Of course the shippers acknowledge it, the power dynamic between Jareth and Sarah is the whole point of the movie, I don't know how you could miss it...)

The stance is "if there's a power imbalance, you're not allowed to ship it at all, or else you're a Bad Person."

But if you're younger than Sarah and ship them? Then it's like OK by antis and when you outgrow her, you're a pedophile? Power imbalance is always there somehow, really.

Nah, the line there is "if you like it, young child/tween, that means the movie is grooming you to accept abuse from IRL immortal fantasy creatures adult men, and you're a sympathetic victim that we have to save."

Unless the child/tween resists being "saved" for too long, in which case they find out the sympathy was conditional, and now they're being treated as a horrible abusive person who happens to be 13.
