It’s too creepy to me. So you advocate that things you find “creepy” should be illegal? What about things that other people find “creepy”? ---

> [@Slash1972](#): > > So you advocate that things you find “creepy” should be illegal? What about things that other people find “creepy”? Creepy? You want creepy? Ever been a young girl who got catcalled? I’m not saying this is what **Mister Rik** is doing, nor should that be illegal. But it does make me think of when I was younger and you’d have way older guys (yes, your father’s age) telling you about how beautiful you were and how if they were younger, they’d be hitting on you and wanting to date you. It gives you the creeps. He didn’t just say, “Damn, I think my cousin is really pretty.” He said, “I know it’s illegal _to have sex with her_, but damn, my cousin is really beautiful and she’s totally of age, even though I’m old enough to be here father.” If you were never a girl who had to deal with shit like that from older men, you might not be able to understand. It’s not flattering. It’s like your dad’s creepy friend thinking about you in inappropriate ways. And no, I don’t feel like I’m piling on if I feel that he posts about his sexual fantasies a bit too much. It’s not “seeing two gay guys kiss”. It has to do with a concept called TMI. If that makes me a prude, so be it. We are not here to be your therapist, dude. ---

Then what is the purpose of your post? Especially since you don’t think he should be posting this. Why are you even reading this thread and posting stuff that has nothing to do with the topic?
