a lot of people are freaking out lauren boebert's son needing to go on the sex offender registry for having sex with his girlfriend when she was 17 and he was 18. normally that would be totally fine.

apparently all of them are missing the fact that it was filmed and shared to others by him. DISTRIBUTING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.

how and why people are defending this is beyond me. it is proof that nobody has actual stances on anything, they just go based off of whatever the current social media vibe is. most people are not real people, i swear.

Congratulations, you have finally figured out the true nature of morality.

@beardalaxy treating a 18 year-old filming a sex tape with his 17 year-old girlfriend the same as a sleezy child porn producer does seem pretty wack

@pettanko obviously he isn't fucking Peter scully or something, there is a sliding scale of severity and the actual sentencing should reflect that. But people saying that distribution of such material is fine when someone close in age does it is completely missing the mark. Close in age exceptions are meant for private intimate acts, not sharing comprising media. I don't want to approach a slippery slope. The laws exist as they are now for a reason and I think they are good that way.

@beardalaxy People generally shouldn't be filming themselves having sex, and even less so distribute those recordings if they are made. No matter the context.
@beardalaxy Well if you don't take "the current vibe" into account, I feel like the rulings would be even worse. Unfortunate reality is that people that age do share intimate stuff to brag. He trusted the people he sent it to to not share it further, and obviously that's a mistake.
You can put it in all caps all you want that's not the same thing as someone raping a child and sharing it with other pedos.
Not good though. Sex offender registry or other punishment is its own can of worms though

@beardalaxy a 17 y/o is not a child
granted, all moids who film and distribute pornography should go on the sex offender registry, we shouldn't have to add fake arguments like "she's a CHILD" for that to happen

@tomie he shouldn't have shared it regardless because that was done without her knowledge.
