Even if the situation “might not have been grooming” (according to the robot lmao??) you must admit that it is still inappropriate conversations between an adult and a minor. Moss even admits to knowing that Dino was a minor while talking with them about Lolita, as seen here:
(present on their DA if you’d like to verify me)
Spoiler, they DID go into detail about the book. They also talked about inappropriate things in their discord server where other minors were present and even talked to Dino about getting high. (As seen above, obviously this is proof that they had each other on Instagram DMs, sorry to disappoint you!!)
At the time, they were under the assumption that someone who was present on an 8+ website was the same age as them, which is stupid. And they should have verified their age in the first place, especially coming from that website because THEY KNOW children lie about their ages online. If they KNEW that, then it is irrevocably irresponsible to just ASSUME that a kid who they met and were friends with on an 8+ site while they were 20 was the same age as them. Kids will lie about their ages online, and Moss has ADMITTED TO KNOWING THAT, so they are NOT stupid, and they just got caught.
You can tell that they were 21 in these screenshots because Moss was born in 2002, and idk about ya’ll but it’s basic fucking math, 2023-2002≠17. 2023-2002=21.
Grooming does need hard proof, but you literally have it right in front of your face and are still dismissing it in any way you can because “oh!! It’s ai!!” “Oh!! It’s faked!!” Making up ANY excuse in the book to keep this DEGEN who KNOWINGLY hurt a child and exposed them to NSFW KNOWING their age. If they say that they knew Dino’s age after talking with them about Lolita, which was in February 5th of 2024, then in these screenshots then they were KNOWINGLY talking to a child about a book that they describe as “straight up pedophilia” who is 13-14 years old.
“Believe the victim!!” “It’s never the child’s fault!!” Until it’s your idol, your favorite artist, your favorite musician, your favorite celebrity. It IS never the child’s fault, it is NOT Dino’s fault whether it had something to do with a lack of boundaries or anything like that, it is NEVER the child’s fault because at the end of the day Moss-shadow, an adult, a 21 year old, sent NSFW to, requested suggestive artwork, spoke about drugs to, a MINOR who was 13-14. And they KNEW it.
Do some research, and look at other videos before brushing situations like these off, because that is the reason so many fandoms fail to protect children who are hurting or who have been hurt by their idol.
