This is so low on my list of things to care about, that I even am outright pissed at the people who are so sanctimonious and outraged over it. (Which, ironically, arguably knocks it up on the list of things I seem to care about, except it’s more defined by how angry I am at stupid reactions to the subject at hand, not the subject/story here itself).
I think they (such outraged, faggot Redditors) become outright EVILLY sanctimonious when they throw around the p-word over age gaps like this. “Pedophile” or “pedophilia.”
Such an age gap is NOT the same as an older guy raping, say, a literal fucking 6 year old girl, which actually falls under the literal and legal definition of pedophilia. Not a fucking 40 year old dating a 17-18 year old. Hell, you even see some of these sanctimonious joyless twats and fags being almost or at least even as outraged and “ew!” “OMG ick EW!!!” if it’s even something like a fucking 25-year-old dating an 18-year-old.
>UMMMM THATS A BIG HECKING AGE GAP BRO, I DONT EVEN SEE HOW I COULD EVER FEEL ENOUGH IN COMMON WITH AN 18YEAROLD TO WANT TO DATE THEM!!! UMMMM, YIKES SWEATY, YOURE IN COLLEGE OR FINISHED IT AND SHES JUST IN HER LAST YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL!!! PEDO!!!
It’s outright disrespectful to the actual victims of pedophilia. And, besides that, people so outraged over it often typically reveal themselves as exemplars of that great irony and great paradox - namely, that people who are ‘liberal’ or ‘socially progressive’ enough (as they would use those terms, or as they’re used today) bending back on the horseshoe into becoming a similar sex-shaming, bitter, resentful, dried-up, joyless, spiteful, hostile and prunish old prude. The only major difference from the old Victorianisms having to do with sex, being that this new prudishness is especially characterized by contempt, fear, anger and hostility towards men. Wanting to emasculate men, and always looking angrily at situations they can point towards as revealing men as being the toxic bigots/patriarchs/oppressors/rapists/etc. in such situations.
I couldn’t give less of a shit about a roughly 40-50 year old guy having consensual sex with a roughly 16-18 year old girl some many decades ago, particularly if it was consensual (at least in the very moments of it, e.g. the girl wasn’t explicitly saying no and trying to shove him off or claim she’d been raped afterwards), and also particularly not in a way that had left the younger partner feeling traumatized, used, or abused afterwords; but rather instead, even years to decades later, viewed it all as a great relationship to reminisce on fondly.
Hundreds and thousands of years of history back me up on this. Boy, I almost hate how much of a chud the faggot Redditors turn me into.
