    I don’t get the downvotes, I agree with you. It’s not okay, and yes, it’s legally rape, but it doesn’t have to be traumatizing the victims in the same way as the examples you also mentioned. And that’s not an excuse, but a reasonable answer to the question you responded to.

        The critical thinking required is to admit that someone under the age of consent cannot consent. The attractive rock star is just as evil as the hideous Epstein client.

        The worst part about reddit that lemmy just copied inherently.

        Yay social media!

      So you think that if a fourteen year old likes getting raped it’s not that bad?

      Where’s the cut-off in your mind?

      Is it not that tramatizing if it’s a promiscuous six year old?

        Holy shit, I didn’t realize this community actually harbored people rationalizing the rape of 14 year olds.

        What the fuck.

          You’re a fucking idiot. But you seem to be in very good company here. The fact that you don’t register that it’s not even specifically Steven Tyler we’re talking about; but the difference between a minor that wants to have sex with an adult willingly (which is the hang up I think), regardless of legality, and a person of any age being physically or otherwise forces or coerces an unwilling participant into sexual acts. Yes, both situations are bad things. No, they are not equivalent. That’s what my first comment said, I have repeated it multiple times, other people with first hand experience have added their two cents. It’s ultimately up to you to rub a few neurons together long enough to process a rational argument and not responding emotionally. Have a nice evening.

            Someone else added their regret for getting raped when they were fifteen but I guess you’re going to ignore that, right?

            Even if the fourteen year old is begging for sex it’s still rape if an adult rapes them.

            That’s it that’s all and talking about ‘the consenting nature of said 14 year olds’ is fucking disgusting and victim blaming.

            What’s next saying a child deserves it because the way they are dressed?
