Back in the 2000's, I've heard a lot of conservative men telling youthful looking and/or acting women (and teens of course) to "age themselves up" with various ways, so it wouldn't be "pedophilic" to be attracted to them. Deepen their voice, grow out their pubic hair if they were shown naked, sometimes even the suggestion that they should get a plastic surgery to look mature enough in a good way (not the wrinkles, they're bad of course). They only abandoned this kind of view once feminist media critique became mainstream, and certain bad parts of it wasn't actively called out due to most critique of feminist media critique was extremely bad faith, so stuff like this ended up in progressive circles.
Thanks for the background. I think it is not about banning certain behavior/looks, but to educate, so that they can make mature decisions on their own. Things that go through my mind, when I saw this meme:
So they don’t look like kids, but are obviously emotionally very immature as well. But as you can see, psychological problems get tons of support, making it look like it is normal to not treat that.
