    No, I’m not — I was disgusted to hear Megan Kelly try to draw some kind of positive distinction between “barely legal types” and “children”.

    Personally I don’t consider the distinction between terms to be meaningful beyond human need to categorize. A 12 to 16 year old is still a fucking child, a 17 year old is still a child. There are plenty of arguments to make about whether 18 year olds are adults.

    That being said, nothing about my comment suggests that I support the message they’re trying to portray. Maybe read the entire comment before calling me a conservative next time, ok?

      the more they try to come up with new terminology to excuse it away, the more I just put them in the bucket labelled ‘kid fuckers’.

        I think that putting enough thought to categorize between hebephile and pedophile is already and upsetting amount of my brain power spent on people who hurt kids.

        I have a better thing to call them — castrated. Or dead, I don’t care — whatever prevents this from happening to other children.

          I too dream of a day when consequences are a thing for shitty people. keep hope alive.

      It’s the same old defense heard from conservatives everywhere. He’s not a pedophile, he’s a hebephile. Whatever
