CW age of consent bullshit, Dersh.

libertarian-alert

  • a lot of states and nations have “romeo and juliet” carveouts, so young people near the offical age of consent can have their awkward rolls in the hay without it being a crime, so long as the older party is effectively near peer. like a 19 year old with a 17 year old, etc.

    for some reason, he seems to be completely ignoring that and attempting to champion a significant relaxation of the rules to allow 15 year olds to be groomed by a wealthy, elderly procurers/panderers under the guise of looking out for “the kids”.

      Yeah that’s the funniest thing. I will say - there is a REAL PROBLEM when states don’t have those and some parent can basically turn an 18 year old into a sex offender because they don’t like them dating their 16 or 17 year old child (most likely reason: racist bastards or some other CHUD shit). Statutoryremoved is important to have (against grooming, etc.) but it shouldn’t be leveraged against people who are within a year or two of each other. A pair of underage kids with a small age gap shouldn’t be made to suddenly stop having sex or being intimate (or have that criminalized and the consequences of becoming a sex offender) when the 17 year old turns 18 while the other is still 16. Any reasonable person understands this.

      So like, I don’t want to give Dersh any credit, but the fact is people can, actually, be harmed by age of consent when there’s not those carveouts. And if that were all he were advocating for (universal carveouts that apply the age/2 + 7 formula until 21 or something) then maybe he wouldn’t be a demon. But he’s a maniac.
