I don't try to encourage people to view them that way no. But I do have a crush on MJ when he was in the J5, and I wanna encourage people to stop being mean to me for loving him.
And that's why I don't think you qualify as those creepy-ass adults who sexualize kids. Given the way you describe the crushes you have on people, I don't really know that they could even be considered sexual attraction
I've always thought of crushes as more innocent--you want to spend time with this person, you want to tell them how much you like them and how attractive they are to you, you want to hold their hand, even things like kisses on the mouth or the cheek.

But I've never asked anyone else their opinions on it, so maybe I'm the only one who feels that way?
I just think of it all tying into the same thing. But yes I think of all my feelings as innocent. I don't think even sexual feelings aren't innocent. Animals are innocent and they feel sexual feelings too.
