      Ah, yes, you’re just curious about that independent of the thread topic and what the person you replied to said…
      This is on the same level as a thread about Trumps ICE militia kidnapping an disappearing people and you replying with “ah, but what about that one time Obama wore a tan suit? How do you feel about that?”
      All you managed to do with your comment is show that you’re ok with child rape because the age difference might be less, which is real fucking bad.

        why would i respond to a comment with a post?

        is the question really that hard to answer?

        i’m just curious because some of you guys think a 2 year age gap in a relationship in your later teens is rape while it’s not problematic at all when a freshly turned 18 year old dates or fucks someone decades older. for some people this is black and white to the point of ridiculousness, i’m not saying that particular user is like that, but that’s what the question is for

          Kinda a weird hill to die on. But I’ll answer this for you.

          Yeah, you need to put the line somewhere. Is it ok to send a 15 year old to war or let them smoke?

          They are children is the reason, not the age gap. The fact that’s not obvious to you is disturbing.

              i don’t understand why i have 17 downvotes and you’re getting upvoted when that’s exactly what i’m advocating for

            there’s these things called romeo and juliet laws.

            there needs to be a strict border but it could be even higher imo, when combined with reasonable romeo and juliet laws.

            the amount of downvotes on my comments has been a wake up call for me to how completely out of touch this website is. there’s not a single person i know that would call a 18 year old having sex with a 16 year old rape. this is just like the insanity ive seen on reddit, which is not surprising as this post is on reddit.world.

            this response signals just how chronically online this place is. pretty much nobody in the world thinks this issue is as black and white as people here are making it seem.

              Yes it’s rape, a child is not old enough to make clear decisions and is underage. The law sees anyone under 18 as a child.

              Rape
              Simple Definition
              unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person’s will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception

              Did you expect other pedophiles to unite here in your defense? You got a lot you need to work out, please talk to a therapist.

                Well ACTUALLY, different jurisdictions have different ages of consent. The laws are pretty clearly detailed. Just like child marriage is legal in many places even in the U.S. (with parental permission), and just like it’s legal for billionaires to not pay taxes. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s morally correct. An 18yo with a 50yo is morally dicey although legal. A 17yo with 19yo is legal or not depending on where you are. What’s morally correct? It depends a lot more on the situation than the local.

                beneath a certain age

                yeah so if the age gap is too large compared to the other party. if you go with these dictionary definitions, you’d have to argue for middle aged people being able to have sex with underage teenagers cus the age of consent is under 18 in most places which is fucked up

                i’m literally advocating against large age gaps and you’re calling me a pedophile. wow.

                i think i need a break from this website, this is so ridiculous

                it’s crazy that you’re saying i need a therapist when i’m even more restrictive with this than most of the world, including my own country. like i implied earlier, i’d advocate for the age of consent to be increased to 18. it’s under that in most of the world
