OH LOOK AN OPINION:

I don’t understand the whole “You can’t ship Yurio with Otabek! He’s 15!” thing because when tf did I say I wanted them to have underaged sex?? There’s a difference between having sex and dating romantically ya weirdos.

I’ve known so many people who dated younger than 15 in high school. That is perfectly fine without sex. It is legal too lmao.
Also, the age of consent changes everywhere. Where I am from (Canada), it is 16.
Considering Yurio is 15 rn and it’s December in the show, he’d be 16 in March, his birthday. Otabek and Yurio seem like they would take time to form a relationship, even longer than 3 months, which is when Yurio would be able to consent. So, them dating rn wouldn’t even be problematic because by the time they are ready for sex, Yurio is old enough to consent.
That’s just for 16 consent age too. If consent is older somewhere like 18, I’m sure that Otabek would wait cause he seems like a nice, calm dude. (Ugh can’t believe I gotta write this out for fictional characters too. JFC Tumblr. w/e it’s been bothering me for a while)

This is something that just annoys me on tumblr like “you can’t ship them!! too young!! and 3 year age gap ew!!” But then y’all be like “if it’s two consenting adults, it’s ok!!” Like ok I agree with that but, you are a complete hypocrite if you go “3 years are too much!!” one second and then say a 25 year old can have sex with a 40 year old the next. What is this logic and reasoning??
Yes, both parties should be legally consenting but don’t pull this shit like “oh 3 years is too much” but then say “15 years is fine if they’re old enough.”
Just saying “Hey that’s underage so no” is fine, because one or more members cannot consent. Why the hell is the age gap brought in??
Yuuri and Viktor have a 4 year gap and that’s fine, but you guys are disgusted with 3 years for Otabek and Yurio even when it’s aged up. (I seriously don’t get this, if anyone wants to explain it to me, feel free.)

To summarize: I ship Yurio and Otabek romantically. That is legally okay. I think that they should have sex when they can both consent (which varies on location).
I do not like y’all pulling this shit of “it is gross because he’s too young” because that only applies to sex. It doesn’t address romantic feelings at all which is at the core of every ship. In conclusion, please keep your negative bullshit away from a ship, especially when you’re not considering the age of consent in locations besides your own. And please simply say something is underaged (which is the real issue) rather than saying there’s an age gap (because that doesn’t apply when they’re older).
