A lot of rich men are currently-offending pedophiles. Its like the worst kept secret on earth. I wonder who is supplying for them now that Epstein is gone.

How did nothing come of the Epstein case? I just looked into it, all the investigations have stopped

Its almost like a former president known to be good friends with epstein did not want people looking into it and the media colluded to call anywho called it out a conspiracy nut almost like rich and powerful people on the right used there power in government to bury the investigation but that would never happen

I don't like Twitter either, but this is the weirdest overreaction about something Musk did if I ever saw one. That's just Misa Amane fan art, it's not even lewd or suggestive. And likes on Twitter aren't private.

... That's a meme about soliciting specifically young girls/young women. Not a "lock him up" type deal but definitely weird to me in the liked tweets of a 50 y/o man.

Also regardless of if you find it weird or not, I guess if this story turns out true then Elon was ashamed enough to make liked tweets private. Which is really funny.

I'd like it, and I'm 48. Maybe you're having some preconceived notions there.

If it's something wrong, then it's wrong for everyone, not just an age bracket. Otherwise it's ageism.

I had a 14 year old girlfriend when I was, you know, 14. It would be pretty weird now though.

You are talking about two minors, I'm talking about two consenting adults.

That wasn't what I said at all. The point was addressing your statement "If it’s something wrong, then it’s wrong for everyone, not just an age bracket. Otherwise it’s ageism." Dating a 14 year old girl was fine when I was 14, but as a 40 year old, it is very widely considered not. To expand on that, many people would cast a well-deserved side eye on a 44 year old dating an 18 year old,. regardless of legal status.

[–] RatherBeMTB@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

40/14 is illegal in most parts of the world. 44/18 is not illegal anywhere and the last part of your comment is prejudice.

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Amazingly, I am aware of that. Whether it is legal or not is not the same thing as whether it is moral. And yes, I am entitled to my own opinions. 40/18 is just as fucked up as 40/14 in my view, and if you don't like my opinion, good for you - that's your opinion.

[–] RatherBeMTB@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

You can't have a society based on morals and you can't impose your morals on others. Still I respect your morals as long as you keep them to yourself and to regulate your behavior. It's ok not to date 18 yo if you are 40 based on your morals. It's not ok to bullie 40 year olds and 18 year olds when they mutually agree to date between them.

No. Just, no. In fact, you are so off base you're living on Pluto.

Besides, are you actually attempting to argue that grooming is not only okay, but a defensible behavior? Hint: it is not.

[–] RatherBeMTB@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

Two consenting adults are free to date who they want regardless of race, gender and, yes, age.

There's nothing wrong with being 50+ and liking anime, I have a feeling for Peelon it's because of the age rather than the anime aspect.
