Another way I like to think of it is it’s your parent’s cousin’s kid. So you can see why from their perspective it would feel more closely related, it would be like you having a kid and your cousin having a kid and then you seeing them together.
Yeah, genetically don’t make a habit of it, but you’re probably fine (unless your grandparents are identical twins or has hapsburgs or something), but also I’d be super uncomfortable if it was my kid

Second cousin means cousin second order (grandchild of a sibling of one of your grandparents), right?

A parent’s first cousin

What really confuses me is your second cousins parent is also called your first cousin once removed.

Second cousin’s parent is great aunt/uncle
