In my experience, people tend automatically assume you are defending adults having sex with teenagers and want to do so yourself. It’s actually quite annoying and why I stopped trying to correct people about that type of mistake.

Smearing that particular demographic group would be considered an _excellent_ use of time by many unpaid 4chan types.

I’ll cop to that, regarding older teens anyway. Sexual interest in younger teens is pretty gross, and interest in preteens is really disgusting. I definitely do not like to see them all conflated together.

Yeah, people should just ignore the video evidence of the little asshole being an asshole, because right-wing propaganda has told them that the little asshole wasn’t being an asshole. And hey, what kind of society would we have if right-wing propaganda couldn’t do our thinking for us?

Did you read all 17 pages before you came up with your conclusion? If you didn’t, you probably missed the good parts.
