Hey guys and gals. So this is a purely hypothetical situation. So please mind the fine details.

So, let's say there's a husband and wife who are wealthy and are away on a business trip. They have two beautiful daughters, ages 12 and 14, who are left in the care of their housekeeper during this time. Their parents' business trip ends up being extended significantly, so after a few weeks the parents decide to fly their daughters out to come visit them. FYI: 12 and 14 year olds can fly without being accompanied by an adult, depending on the airline.

So, the plane ends up having catastrophic engine failure/technical malfunctions that result in it crashing into the ocean, somewhere out in the middle of the Pacific. Nearly everyone dies immediately on impact. The pilot managed to flatten out the plane a little bit before impact so the plane didn't shred entirely apart when it hit the water. This manages to save 10 people from dying immediately. However, of those 10 people, 7 of them drown or die from shock within the hour. It's super tragic and sad.

Only 3 people remain. The two daughters, and a 35 year old man who just-so-happens to be a survival expert. Former military. Tough as nails dude.

The man keeps his cool and manages to find a large flotation device and other resources to get him and the two girls safely away from the wreckage and drift in the ocean. They eventually wash up on the shore of an island roughly the size of a small town. It has plenty of natural resources that can allow them to survive with the assistance of the man who is an expert in utilizing these resources. However, the island is small enough to not be on any charts, and is obviously uninhabited.

The next several months are agonizing, tedious, stressful, sad, and desperate. It's a situation hopefully none of us ever have to experience. Novels could be written about what transpires on this island. Movies that rival Cast Away, Lord of the Flies, Robinson Crusoe, etc.

The 35 year old man is a god damn legend, and eventually develops an efficient system for gathering food, fresh water, and medical care for all of them. They get a solid system down, and as the months go by, things become routine. Routine. Routine. Routine. It becomes very meditative. It becomes their world. Their life. Their entire means of survival. After the first year, it even becomes slightly easy.

And before they know it, 5 years have passed.

Miraculously, a low-flying airplane filming a documentary about coral reefs manages to spot their island, and smoke from their fire. The plane puts out a distress call. A day later, boats and helicopters arrive and rescue them. It makes every damn news headline imaginable.

Here's my question:

After all the hype of them being rescued, the initial shock of them still being alive after all this time, how long do you think it would be before someone asks if the guy had sex with those two girls?

So you are choosing not to answer. Okay. Why did you even bother to reply in the first place?

Also, I don't like the use of the word pedophiliac. Before there is any misinterpretation, I am not condoning or promoting it in the slightest. That's disgusting. In fact, it doesn't even occur in my scenario (in case you didn't notice). It's all about society's PERCEPTION of it by default simply because an older man is there with them.

I believe it is sexist to assume he did. And yet, a majority of people (in my opinion) would assume that the moment they read the article and found out they survived.

Which is just interesting to me.

Not surprising you cant follow a simple one stranded conversation with that disengenuous attitude.

Freak.


I'm just trying to figure out if you are accusing me of something. Because it just seems like you don't want to answer the question. Which is fine. But it makes me wonder why you are still here.

I want to ride one of those eventually. A good friend of mine was in Japan earlier this year. It sounds sick.

Growing accustomed to bullet trains and then taking Amtrak while back in California was...frustrating.

Yeah. I'd just be curious to see how many people question it before/without further inspection. Just kinda coming to that sexist conclusion before any additional details are given.

"A 35 year old man and some teenage girls, living on an island for 5 years? Surely they had sex!"

Just kinda underscores the whole man-hating culture we live in. #MeToo and such.

And then it comes out that he never so much as touched the girls for those 5 whole years. That would probably make people scratch their heads. They'd refuse to believe it.

Literally the first question. Before they are even off the island the Twitter SJWs will be losing their minds over the position of authority the survival expert has and the girls ability to consent.

They are on the island for 5 years. In that time they both reach legal age in most US states.

Every airline is different. For a lot (in America) 12-17 year olds can fly without being accompanied by an adult. Some might cut the age to 13. It really depends on the airline. Also, it can depend on the situation. Like in my example, if the parents are away on business, and the children are being flown out to see them, it would make sense that they could fly unaccompanied, and then just be met by their parents at the airport. *shrug*

I never knew it was a thing. My BF flies his kids all the time between him and their mom. And one was pretty young. And was able to fly by themselves(They didn't live together, different moms). So, I guess I never really thought of it as a thing because I knew I could do that for certain airlines.

Agreed. And I appreciate you being the first to actually answer this question.

You also pointed out that both girls would reach the age of consent (in most states) over the course of their time on the island. So it would be interesting to see the media try to accuse him of anything, and how they would even legally approach any of it.

And this is STILL without me ever explicitly stating that the man had sex with either of the girls. That is just the pessimistic and sexist conclusion everyone would be coming to before they learn any facts beyond "they survived on an island for 5 years".

Yeah, I know back in the 60's, the laws were even more lax! My friend told me when she was 10, she flew out to see her brother (who was in the military). Unaccompanied. Just her little 10 year old self. If you had a plane ticket, and seemed mentally stable....they let you on.

Your question is difficult to answer because it depends on the man. His personality, etc.

14 is pretty limit, but probably not pedophilia at this point. By the time the girl is 16, it's 100% OK to sleep with her. So would he wait approximately 2 years to sleep with her? Maybe, again, depends on the type of person that he is and everything.

My question would rather be, if he chooses to sleep with the oldest: after 4 years on the island would he ALSO sleep with the youngest who's now 16 on the side?

LOL, those are all quite gross to think about.

I'm mostly focusing on the fact that a majority of society would immediately assume he DID sleep with one (or both) of the girls just because he's a guy.

Without any further details about their stay on the island. Before even seeing his picture or learning about his past. Simply having a random person pick up a newspaper....and see the headline "Man And Teenage Girls Survive On Island For 5 Years" and immediately think in the back of their mind...."Yeah, I bet he slept with those girls."

In a world without so much sexism and hostility towards men......a rational human's first instinct should be, "Wow! What an incredible story! I'm glad they survived! I wonder how they managed!? It must have been difficult!"

But I think now we live in a time where it's just "I want to see a picture of this creep's face. I wonder if he made the plane crash intentionally so he could get them alone."

Meh. Of course, everyone would want to know.

When the Peruvian miners got stuck in a mine for 2 weeks or something a few years back, some people asked if they had sex with each other, because of course somebody would ask that.

Yeah. It's pretty sad times we live in. Especially if you are male. Seen as guilty before proven innocent. Everything is given some kind of sexist, oppressive spin in the media. Sexualize otherwise normal situations just to create a buzz. That was the whole point of this thread. To point that phenomenon out.

I doubt it would take that long for someone, somewhere to ask it. Given your scenario though I doubt the guy would have lost his mind completely. When it's a matter of survival I'd think sex would be the last thing on your mind anyway and the bond he forged with these two girls would be more like farther and daughter as apposed to sexual. Of course it all depends what kind of person the guy is to begin with.

I really admire the way you think, and I wish the majority of people could think the same way.

One would hope that people would just be elated that they survived. But I suspect the majority of people would immediately want to know if the man "took advantage" of those girls on the island.

Which, as a man, I find really sad and offensive.

Like, put yourself in the parents' shoes. You find out after 5 years that both of your daughters survived the plane crash, and were living on an island with a strange adult man all this time.

Would you be happy? Or would you immediately want to know if this man touched your daughters? Or would that thought never cross your mind because you'd just be so happy they're alive and you'd want to meet the man and thank him for helping your daughters survive? Would you have the nerve to ask him if he 'touched' your daughters? Would you quietly sit your daughters down and ask them if anything sexual happened? Would that be offensive? Understandable? Or just acceptable sexism in 2018?

I'd be more happy my daughters are safe and unless they show signs of something off happening to them sexually I probably wouldn't suspect it. Would the thought cross my mind though? Probably a lot of thoughts would cross my mind if my hypothetical daughters had gone missing but I wouldn't act on those thoughts without reason. This would also apply to if it was a woman with my two young sons or any mix of sexes to be honest.

The man keeps his cool and manages to find a large flotation device and other resources to get him and the two girls safely away from the wreckage and drift in the ocean. They eventually wash up on the shore of an island roughly the size of a small town. It has plenty of natural resources that can allow them to survive with the assistance of the man who is an expert in utilizing these resources. However, the island is small enough to not be on any charts, and is obviously uninhabited.


Which inevitably raises the question: Did he deliberately save them and only them so he could have somebody to fuck? Because so far GI Jerk isn't looking good.

Pretty sure nobody reputable is going to ask that, considering the ages of the girls. (Well, unless they wind up bringing back 4 survivors instead of just 3.) The dirtier of minds are going to wonder about it, but nobody is going to directly ask them given the circumstances.

To play devil's advocate (more literally in this case), he said they'd be on the island for 5 years so the older girl will hit 18 at some point which is the highest legal age throughout virtually all of the world.

When the Peruvian miners got stuck in a mine for 2 weeks or something a few years back, some people asked if they had sex with each other, because of course somebody would ask that.

Of course. What would you do sitting in minez for two weeks, if not having an orgy out of boredom


Exactly. People, especially the media, assume everyone's a sexual tyrannosaurus, even in the face of tragedy and life-or-death situations. Because they can't just see a situation for what it is. They need to make it clickbaity. And what better way than to sexualize it?

Instead of "Man and teens survive on island for 5 years"

We'd probably get "Teens trapped on island with man. Sex slaves?"

lol

Which headline would get more people to read the article?

Pretty much the mentality of most people.

I don't understand why people are accusing the TC of this or that. This topic is actually a very good talk about society and what gets more attention than something else.

I'm sure at first all news stories would be about the heroism and strife of the ordeal, but then once that all loses its appeal, the sex thing would be brought up to milk more money from the story.

Because it's easier to just dismiss the TC as being a pedophile than it is to put forth mental effort into discussing the dynamics of gender and sexism in the modern world.

*shrug*

I'm just ignoring them. A few people have contributed to the discussion, and I thank them for that :)

I don't understand why somebody who's never posted here before would show up to defend somebody who barely posts here and whose few posts are creepily controversial (rape pheromone topic, trapping female minors with an older guy on an island, etc). I mean, why would two accounts just show up like that?

I'm confused. Are you accusing us of being the same person?

Am I impeding upon your virtual turf or something? You seem hostile.

I've been using gamefaqs for ages, and didn't realize until just recently that this Poll of the Day board is basically a free-for-all when it comes to topics you guys discuss. I kinda like that.

I once came here actually hoping to discuss the poll of the day....and you guys said, "This isn't where we talk about the poll of the day!" lol. I forget the date. Feel free to search through the logs for it.

And now you meet someone new, harmlessly wanting to talk about sensitive and weird topics....and that...upsets you? I'm confused.

Nobody is forcing you to talk to me, bro. Just ignore me.

Because your topics have otherwise had such a wonderful reception? >_>

I have a high threshold for creepy topics and even I think you're way out there. But hey, you do you. If you want to carve out a niche for yourself as that guy who posts cringy weird sex topics, go for it.

Hey now! Try talking about sex pheromones at work with people you need to see every day. No thank you. LOL. I think I'll use the internet for that. I thought this might be a good place (based on some of the other weird and random threads I've seen on here).

A high threshold, huh? So why you making it sound like a dude wanting to talk about pheromones and a guy getting stranded on an island with two teenage girls is 'too much'? I think it's the readers who are taking things out of context here. Not the writer.
