The theory Oedipus_complex by Freud, states (if I understood it correctly), that children usually crave incest, but then grow out of it.

Psychoanalysis is quackery. It was progressive at a certain point, but it got pretty fast reactionary.

Had "age is just a number" always this implication or did it occure through the internet? I said it once to my grandmother back then, when she was sad, the she is not young anymore and will probably die soon. I have the feeling that phrases and words got "corrupted" over the time.

Omg in this context age is just a number is not problematic at all. But it is used by many people to groom younger children, which is really bad. That's where this phrase got this meaning.

Idk if it's only online though since I am chronically online.
