| Topic | "You look like a guy who has a nuanced opinion on the age of consent" |
| Chrknu 02/05/22 6:33:42 AM #30: | A buddy of mine was accused of being a pedophile because he apparently made a move on a 16 year old when he was 25. The age of consent is 16, so he wasn't breaking the law or anything and he was really hurt by those accusations. I wasn't there, so I had no idea what happened, but I heard the accusations and noticed how he reacted to them. I guess I have become a little a little technical on the definitions because of this, but the term ephebephile is new to me. I guess I think that age of consent should be leading, but i know that there are some countries where it's disturbingly low, so that kinda ruins my point for those countries. And perhaps people think 16 is disturbingly low as well, but there are other laws to protect younger people (abuse of power etc) The problem is that I think that someone who does something to small kids is the lowest scum on earth and even though i recognize that it probably is a sickness, the gloves comes off right when that person acts on those feelings towards a kid instead of seeking help. I don't judge someone who had consenting sex with someone age inappropriate, but over the age of consent, as harshly. --- Hell is not a place you go if you're not a Christian, it's the failure of your life's greatest ambition -Immortal Technique ...
