Re: The nightmare image keeping the NCMEC awake at night...

It's bizarre how many resources they want to waste on these things. It shows, in my opinion, just how unserious they are.

CSAM, as they call it, is meant to be one of the worst things in existence. Its very being constitutes a charge of abuse every time someone simply looks at it. People talk about ...

Re: What would society be like if there was no age of consent?

I can't really imagine how different it would be.

I believe that much of the way our society is built is reliant on hierarchical age structures. Age determines the sort of responsibility you have; it can determine the opportunities you get access to; it can determine your status and authority, etc ...

Re: Special needs old man dies in police custody after arrest for bikini images off Getty Images stock photos

Computer repair guy sits and looks through his customer's private photo libraries and somehow thinks he's a hero?

In the video Gary (the defendant) explicitly said he was saving images of beautiful kids from Getty Images and talked about how beautiful the girls were in front of the cops giving a ...

Re: The Touch-Starved Adult

Jealousy is sure to be at least some influence in people's disliking for AMSC (although it's certainly not close to the whole explanation). You see this reflected in how people respond to legal age gaps. It essentially boils down to younger people upset that an attractive person their age range that ...

Re: something i dont get

You see, it is actually rather remarkably simple. You can't consent until you're 18, because the brain doesn't fully develop until 25.

You can however consent with someone else's brain who hasn't fully developed, but only if they're below 18, because their brain doesn't fully developed until 25 ...

Re: I don't understand why!

Because they don't really care about any supposed harm towards kids. It's always been about vilifying an attraction they don't like.

That's why people hate and want(ed) to criminalize lolicon/shotacon and fictional CP. That's why in some countries, it's illegal to even write about it, nevermind ...

Re: A couple (13 & 20) commits suicide because they weren't allowed to be together


I try to keep believing that there’s a glimmer of goodness in these anti stances—that there’s a genuine concern for young people’s well-being and that they’re simply mistaken about the best way to ensure it—but then I see things like this, and it’s hard to hold onto that hope. And this girl was ...

Re: Antis who are minors. Thoughts?


I've even read posts from minors arguing for an age of consent higher than their own


I've seen this too. Usually along the lines of something like, "I'm 17 and I don't feel I'll be ready in a few months?? It should be 21/25/X!"

I think it's a result of how a lot of people are reacting to ...

Re: Argument for pro contact


If the powers that be want to make MAP/AAM contact illegal, then spanking, or even yelling angrily at a child, should also be equally illegal.


Of course it's laced with hypocrisy at every corner. You can't give a child an orgasm, but if you're their parent, you can do things such as... deny ...

Re: The number one cause of teen depression I've noticed?

The way people raise kids nowadays (i.e., helicopter parenting and adjacent styles) is absolutely a major source of depression among youth today. It reinforces isolation, it's usually defined by being overly controlling so fun hobbies tend to get restricted, etc. Not sure how someone could disagree ...
