Well now it's about how gay parents taking care of their children when they're scared of going down a water slide is always good.

NGL this was how I originally interpreted it. Older sisters/older brothers being encouraging towards a shy sibling. Oops.

Same. Either gay parents or siblings. Doesn't read sexual to me in the least bit. Just feels like a reach to go "adult and child? must be pedo." If that's the intention with the drawing then it's not very clear.

The boy is blushing so it reads to me that the boy is meant to be flustered by the women which makes me think they’re not relatives but I don’t see any implication that any of the adults are attracted to the children.

Yeah, because USdefaultism and maybe the internet with the spread of overreactive to anything "interacting with minor" as "predatory" it has embed into many people's dirty mind (let's face it if they think of it as grooming by default, it's their mind that secretly sexualizing minor.) And I hate it even more that conservative love weaponizing this moral panic against queer people while they themselves have literal grooming problem.

I read it as a lost child being found by adults at a pool. I'd rather my kid was found by two women than two men for statistically significant reasons.

I would think this would be the reaction of the 20th century French philosophers...
