Rules (interactive)

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I don't like saying it because people get very emotional and unreasonable about this but:
These things were normal a long time ago. It's only been in recent years, especially starting from the 1960s, that moral panic took over and these things are looked at now as "a crime".
it was normal to allow your child to bang adults?
First time I am hearing of this dear... Do you let adult people to fuck your kids?
"Was" means past tense.
Also, fuck your condescension.
i guess depending on what is your position on child and adult here...
but yeah, i don't think anyone is permitting their jailbait to fuck anyone over 20 in good conscience.
Not currently. But it used to be fairly common, is the point.
ok... it was common for parents to allow catholic clergy to fuck their kids and when kid complained they did nothing. what is your point?
The distinction between past and present. And more abstractly, not confusing acknowledgement of past moral principles as agreement with them.
saying it was common back then is tacitly approving of it IMHO
but people can make up their own minds.
note that many of these people who fucked jail bait are still alive and it is still happening in celebrating circles.
did not charlie cheen rape some kid? and there many stories all the disney jailbat being raped?
What excuse will society muster for this shit happening in 1990s?
That's the mindset I take issue with.
where are you getting this information? how common was it?
who was fucking all this jailbait? just trash celebs? or everybody was bagging a 14 year old on the side?
who was supplying the jailbait? parents or they just acted on "their own"
Maybe if people weren't so afraid to acknowledge uncomfortable topics in history, you would know the answers to those questions already.
It was closer to this.
Well you don't learn this shit in history books but if it is true, then all these pedos need to go into a wood chipper.
They're mostly dead.
Here's my suggestion: stop with the moral outrage. The reason it's harmful is because of the potential for manipulation, not because such relationships are inherently harmful. The potential for abuse and manipulation is such that we've determined the risk is too high to accept as a society. That's a judgment call and a subtle determination, one which previous generations (pretty much all of human history) did not make.
Murder and assault are pretty much universally and instinctively viewed as wrong by all societies. Relationships between adults and teenagers has historically not been seen as such. That's a cultural phenomenon that's very recent. I think it's an advancement in society, like how we've decided misogyny and racism is wrong. But before you decide that literally everyone born before 1983 is Evil, maybe step back and consider history and culture a little.
That is the decision dawg... We will use the information but nobody has to accept these bags tbh
That's what's breaking cycle of abuse looks like.
No it's not lol, it's just being toxic and hateful. Maybe it's less unhealthy, but it's still unhealthy.
Ah yes, what a neutral and regulated way to phrase that.
I think they meant people's reaction to the idea that the past could've had a different view on it that we view as disgusting rather than implying it's "emotional and unreasonable" to view criminalized pedophilia as a "moral panic", but I'm not a telepath. That was just my reading of it.
what is the alternative view here? this 14 year old reads on 18 year old level?
