Re: Views on the morality of child sex work (e.g. prostitution, pornography)

I went with unacceptable but shouldn't be treated so severely. I don't think sex work is good at any age. I know some people do it because they enjoy it, but I just think there are enough who do it out of necessity with long term effects that it shouldn't be encouraged. I don't like the idea of anyb...

Re: A Proposal for Changing the Age of Consent

You know there are people crazy enough to agree to that, even to raising the age of consent eventually above the age of reproduction, ending the species. But I do believe Age of Consent rules are fundamentially flawed, as evidenced by the fact that they are different in different countries and rarel...

Re: Incest - Worth defending?

I think the issue of incest is different to the issue of being a map or intergenerational relationships. Incest can be between siblings, often between adults. I think fighting that battle and fighting the rights for maps is taking on two big and unrelated battles. Personally I don't have an issue wi...

Re: Bombshell report claims Roblox is ‘pedophile hellscape’

I heard about this environment but I know several kids that play Roblox all the time and when I've asked them about it they've said there are bullies and people who try to ruin your game, but they've not encountered anything like this sets out. I expect it's another case of clickbait reporting based...

Re: Child sex trafficking more than tripled under Biden-Harris administration: report

Might be true but I'd want to see the source data and understand how that figure was arrived at. I have low confidence in these reports because the data is often cherry picked and the reporters often have an agenda, so I have to see the source material and reasoning before taking it at face value. I...

Re: Banned from 4chan for being a pedo

We're not in danger of going to gas chambers We very much are, unless we fight back. Who would stop the authorities if they tried? We need aggressive activism to stop it happening. I used to believe that activism worked; I'm not so sure now. Consider those jailed in the UK for attempting to organis...

Re: Banned from 4chan for being a pedo

It's a sign of the times. It makes me think that this is how Jews must have felt in Nazi Germany. We're not in danger of going to gas chambers but we are routinely marked out for public humiliation and treated like subhumans at times, without breaking any laws. I look at it as a learning opportunity...

Re: Who would you throw under the bus?

That's tough, I genuinely can't think of a group I would actually throw under the bus.

How about politicians?

Re: Is "grooming" a meaningful concept?

Grooming is a terrible thing to happen, when someone manipulates another in any way, especially if it's manipulating someone into sex or into harmful situations such as drugs, crime or seclusion. There are many other words for this (deception, manipulation, etc.) But the term "grooming" i...

Re: Is "grooming" a meaningful concept?

In my opinion, terms like grooming and rape are very serious terms with were created to describe specific and serious situations, but both of which have been coopted to serve an agenda which weakens the meaning of those terms and exposes people to increased risk who were supposed to be protected by ...
