This stream highlight cuts this out but the orginal Japanese dialogue is uh lets just say much more direct and proud about this then you would think. 
Writing like this is making me genuinely worried about the LeonxSherry lathing from creeps.

My mistake for mischaracterizing the scope of your claim.
Regardless, you're not talking about media literacy as such, because identifying the thing in the picture as grooming isn't any sort of nuanced understanding of how media works, it's just knowing what grooming is and making a connection to the literal events on the screen that they fit that definition. Media literacy would involve assessing the specific artistic choices made in the process of that depiction, which are completely consistent with someone who is pro-grooming and lack any evidence of being anti-grooming except that grooming is bad so one might have a gut response that when grooming is depicted, it's meant to be understood as bad. That is not media literacy.
For context, Alex was around 5 when Patricia was born. Him actually grooming her would be a retcon (if thats even possible?) despite the "vibes." Its the least worst part of it but the cousin thing is what actually glues this together into a shit cake. If they weren't blood related (second cousins too lmao) the fandom would be treating it like that time Batman fucked batgirl and would just akwardly ignore it.
