      I hear if you’re attracted to anyone under 40 you’re basically epheebiphile adjacent… A real creep if you ask me!

        Yeah man bro, 40-50 year old men liking teenage girls is based and super cool! I too am going to go defend this behaviour.

        It’s especially cool when they make the girls try to appear even younger than that age. That’s totally a normal healthy thing for all old arse men to lust over!

          I’m not defending shit. Words have meaning and are important. Especially words like pedophile today. When you make behaviour most people find acceptable like two adults consensually participating in sex work (porn) the same as the president raping children, you are actually helping the pedo rapists MORE than you’re harming the people “creeping” you out.

            Most people do not find it acceptable, most people find it creepy.

            By trying to normalise this behaviour and argue it’s technically legal, you are helping normalise the concept of attraction to children.

          So true we should ban everything that someone finds slightly creepy, even if it hurts absolutely no one and is clearly a fairly common thing. We should especially put it on the same level as doing things that irreparably ruin lives!

              Fighting the dilution of the word pedophile apparently is the same as defending pedophiles… This is definitely a pedo psi-op…
