SV was the first fandom where I read fanfiction. And one point I've kept coming back to, the past few days, is just what you're exploring here - Clark Kent and Lana Lang were supposed to be 15 years old (although I think they ret-conned Clark to 14? Somebody said that about later seasons, but I'm no longer watching so I don't know for sure), but in no universe could Tom Welling be seen as anything other than a sexually mature male. KK is a slightly more borderline case, in my view, because she still looks very *young* to me. But either way, the characters were objectified and promoted as desirous in the narrative.
The disconnect between that treatment and LJs recent actions have me boggled.
