People who call attraction to 16-17 year olds pedophiles are morons and virtue signaling

  1. Never said I was attracted to them. It's literally in the first bar. And you've never seen someone claim "as long as they look older" because ACTUAL pedophiles like the fact kids don't look older. I'm saying 16 is legal in 31 states because they look enough like adults and actively seek out sexual relationships.
  2. I'm saying in addition to their usually adult appearance (and sometimes adults under-age looking appearance), they have the mental capabilities to safely maneuver a sexual relationship. Doesn't mean I think creeps are allowed.
  3. I used 18 as a point to compare and contrast my similarities and differences between those ages and I barely found any differences
  4. Adults usually feel extremely awkward about the idea of people being younger than them because of how we've drawn such a line between "appropriate" and "not appropriate". But even then, 16 year olds crush on a fuckton of adults. Whether it's porn stars, neighbors, actors / actresses and such.
  5. Y you gotta hurt me like dis?
  6. You think that all you want, but with how much I defend my point, I would've just come out and said it by now, especially considering in my state, 16 is legal. I am perfectly "appropriate" in society's eyes.
  7. I'm sorry your father sexually abused you. I don't think that was correct at all. I'm not sure what age it was at, but it wouldn't matter anyway because you didn't want it AND it was incest. Sorry if this post brings up awful memories, and even though we differ in opinions, I hope you're okay nowadays.
