@Tony @matrix majority of the time it's just niggers beating people up with the caption "predator beaten up" for engagement on twidder

@Hyperhidrosis @Tony @matrix Guy named Easton at a private school in Massachusetts isn't black, I can tell you that much

@mrsaturday even though was 18

@matrix And the guy was 22

@matrix @mrsaturday SHE WAS ONLY 17 LESS THAN A YEAR AGO!!! THE SICK FUCK

@tomie

@Aldo2 @matrix There's a difference between a grown man diddling an 11 year old and a college sophomore dating a high school senior or something. That's lost on zoomers

@mrsaturday @matrix

Bullshit.

This specific case is about an 18 year old. The hysteria is there all the same.

Many states in Europe have "age of consent" at 16 and even younger. In Germany it is 14.

There are pubmed studies and much anecdotal evidence suggesting that young girls (even those who aren't "teenagers") engage in consensual sexual acts with either older teens or adult men.

I myself had a friend who was in his 20's dating a 14 year old. 100% consensual, both parents knew and gave approval etc... They met when she was 10 or 11.

@Aldo2 @matrix Don't care, not getting involved in this shit

@mrsaturday

Hahahaha, OK then Mr. "Shitposter"...

>Bullshit
Alright.

@phnt @Aldo2 @matrix I didn't need to read anything beyond that to know that it's pure distilled retardation and apparently that cost me my shitposter credentials. I guess I'll go see if John Mastodon will let me have an account

@phnt was the consensual relationship my friend had with an "underaged" girl "diddling" then, or not?

There was loaded language, so I used loaded language of my own.

@Aldo2 Age of consent doesn't talk about relationships, but about sexual activities. If he was in a relationship with an underage girl, than that's fine. If they had any sexual activities, he's a pedo. Simple as that. Not to mention that in Europe (especially Eastern Europe) you would be shunned by almost anyone near you, if you were dating a 14 year old in your twenties.

@phnt you've clearly never lived in Europe, lol.

@Aldo2 I literally live in the center of it.

@phnt well, I also reside in Europe, and every time I get into this sort of conversation, it is Americans, or those who are heavily "Americanized" who act like insane harpies, and most normal Europeans are just so-so about it or say "keep it on the dl" (like smoking weed) but don't "shun" people.

My friend became a doctor, and his (l)gf from then became a lawyer.

Eastern Europe is the epicenter of Child sex exploitation on the continent.

@Aldo2 US has AoC in many places too.
Hysteria among Americans nor positive cases of adults dating teens don't disprove that the potential of abuse increases the younger the minor is and that some type of cut off is needed

@matrix of course, I'm not saying that all children can consent, or that I want AOC abolished or whatever.

I'm just arguing for a more nuanced understanding on the issue and child sexuality in general, rather than just hyper-emotional responses from either side.

If there isn't that nuance, then you're leaving the door open to the loonies or the puritan prudes to run the asylum.

I know it's something that only "MAPs" talk about, but I've been reading some medical studies where the same point is made:

The more we obsess about "protecting the children" (or "protecting minors" to relate the point to the case in the OP) and restricting their behavior, the more we inadvertedly push them into dangerous situations.

@Aldo2 @matrix The more puritanical and sacred sex is the greater the social trauma and shame (even if the individual had a positive experience they know about the taboo unless they're retarded and that's where the harm is done, socially, social shame, the feeling of "dirtyness" both "sluts" and victims feel is the shame they have received from society, societies shame messaging.). Of course it can go bad in the other direction too, forced sex orgies as part of a childs school learning (like in the book Brave New World) in much the very same way we as a society force children to go to school or to experience any number of things that they found to be traumatizing yet were completely legal to do or even nonsexual. A fine line must be walked and we in the US mainline are most definitely too puritan still. The FOLK america is not though I don't believe, folk culture is grandma and grandpa who got married when she was 15 with a 15 year age difference, commen sense folk still exist who know love is love and abuse is abuse and just because two people are close or far in age doesn't mean they can't get along or fall in love, some people just say so but that doesn't make it true. There are many kinds of relationships. Imagine the shame in the adult life of a little girl who had her first orgasm bouncing on pappys knee, and he never even knew it, now imagine she seeks therapy for that shame, and now imagine the therapist implants false memories that pappy intentionally did that the sly old dog, and now her perception of pappy has been permanently fucked, she has lost a light in the darkness, she has lost a hero, all because of other people's bullshit.

@Jazzy_Butts @matrix

I was going to write a comment, but then I typed in "teenage girls wearing short-shorts" on Google images and now I'm drooling on my laptop and I've forgotten what I was going to write...

......Damn you, penis!

Why me?!?!?!?!!

The guy is 22 years old? Yeah those teens are retarded and need a harsh punishment.

If the guy was like, I don't know, around 30 or more, then my empathy for him would be diminished. The older, the less empathy.

But 22 and 18 is the most normal thing ever. They were really just chasing TikTok clout I guess.

Fun fact related:

I was kicked out of an online political group recently because I'm 31, my girlfriend is 23 years old and lives in the Philippines, and I once said I always thought east Asian women are particularly beautiful.

Clearly, this means I'm an old creepy man who fetishizes Asian women, and I must be manipulating a young woman from an impoverished country. :blobcat-joy:

Some people can only think in dogmas and clichés.

@taylan @matrix

I'm an old creepy man

this can be deduced from your posts, pedophile
