      Nope, definitely not. I think there is a scene where they show that their society has an unusual approach to sexuality in that the society promotes homosexuality when they are teenagers to avoid the complications of pregnancy (created by something I can't spoil) whereas in adults they promote heterosexuality. There is a fluidity to the sexuality in the show and I can guess that it was the section with the teenagers having relationships that probably make you think it was sus? I'm not sure if you even got to that part though and it's not really done for sexual purposes it's just a part of worldbuilding that is important to understanding their (fucked up) society.

      The show is one that should be viewed from a worldbuilding perspective. Extremely unusual world and circumstances that mostly grounds itself in material causes.

          In my opinion it is one of the best examples of worldbuilding in anime. The fact that it manages to find material reasons for the structure and outcomes of this incredibly fucked up society with psychic powers is extremely impressive as you go through it and the various mysteries are unravelled. You will probably be confused at various parts throughout as it does play various things as mysteries, the point however is "why is our society structured this way and how did it come to be?" and it does an excellent job of guiding you on the journey the kids go through in learning all the things that produce it.

          It also poses a bunch of other questions I can't really go into without spoilers. I'm about to post a video about it in !anime@hexbear.net but it's spoilerific and you should definitely blind watch this show.
