Imagine going back in time to date that close friend of your mom/dad that comes by to visit, gives you gifts and you call them aunt/uncle. If you can imagine yourself doing that, Rachel & Kitty/Rachel & Kurt might seem kind of tame.
I think it's pretty freaking creepy, if that's still not clear.
Since her Franklin is dead I always liked the idea of her with Sanctity.
Personally I always felt the Kitty/Rachel thing was so 'lowkey' it bordered on queer baiting, so I'm fine with that never being followed up on. I see why some might be attached to it though, I'm just not.
Anyway, yes. And it's as creepy as a grown man having a crush on a tween .. oh wait, we're meant to ignore that.
Key thing here is how close the subject and the parent's friend are, mate. In Rachel's case, she was raised with a Kurt and a Kitty who were like uncle/aunt to her. If Laura had been raised in the same way with OG Warren, then we could compare both examples.
Not saying Laura/Warren is a pairing I like.
The thing that really seals the creepiness of the Rachel/Kurt pairing is that it reminds me of another creepy shit. You see, here in Brazil we had a telenovela (back in 2001, I think) where the main pair was a girl and her godfather. The guy was supposed to be at least 30 years older and he helped take care of her when her parents died. The moment she became 18 in the story, they banged. I couldn't place it before, but everytime I see Kurt and Rachel together I'm reminded of this now. It's just too weird.
