Anyone else think this is fucking crazy that they made this their pinned tweet? No one cares about child sex abuse because antis aren't literally bombing Churches and killing dozens of people at random? Would they feel the same way if an anti blew up a public school teachers lounge? Since vigilantes literally do kill people accused of """CSA""" the person in question had to shift to arguing that since they aren't causing mass casualty events (yet) they don't care. And this is still a pinned tweet despite DeSantis passing a bill that would allow the death penalty for statutory. Prosecutors are getting even tougher on CP charges from what I can tell, people are getting effectively life sentences for looking at pictures of naked kids (rape videos of adults or photos of dead kids from war zones are fine though).

One wonders what the threshold for "actually caring" about CSA would be. I suspect DeSantis could be marching us to death camps and some anti-Cs would say it's proof they dont care about "CSA."

Even if I believed in the whole CSA paradigm the idea of killing people over it is fucking nuts. Many feminists have pointed out that making rape equivalent to murder in terms of punishment only incentivizes murder.
This also brings to mind an argument that I hear often which is that CSA is an issue/crime of power since most adult-minor sexual relationships happen between: school teachers, coaches, tutors, parents, other family members etc. But I feel this mixes up cause and effect. The reason that this is the case is that these are the people who spend a lot of time with minors and are allowed to spend a lot of time with minors and can do so without drawing nearly as much suspicion as say a random MAP that strikes up a conversation with a minor on the street.

One reason among many that I'm skeptical of "power relations" discourse

@GothboyAL Power relations devolve for me once I start asking "Well are all men raping all women since they're physically stronger? Are 40 year olds who date 20 year olds raping them because of their greater experience? It's ridiculous. Not to mention I didn't give a fuuuck if a teacher failed me or even punished me in some way, I'm still not listening to or respecting that fuckin cunt, so the thought of them using their "power" over me to get me to suck their dick is laughable. I punched a teachers aid for getting in my face at like 12 and I dropped the twink.
