The “power dynamic” argument and why it is disingenuous bullshit
Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2025 8:50 pm
I hear alot of antis say “oh children shouldnt have sexual contact with adults because of the power dynamic adults have over children, the kid will feel forced to say yes to things they dont want to do so it is inherently abusive”
And that argument is a red herring, complete BULLSHIT, and heres why.
The only way this argument would be valid is if we lived in a magical fantasy world where kids actually listened to adults. Antis apperantly live in a seperate plane of existance where children are blind obedient slaves to adults who always listen and obey. In this made up fantasy land, you tell a kid to jump and they say how high, no questions asked, no resitance or anything. Espcially when it comes to things the kid actively dislikes. Because as we all know, children always listen and always obey adults and are completely incapable of voicing their wishes and desires and speaking up when they dont like something. /j
Babies dont whine and cry, toddlers dont throw tantrums, elementary school kids dont throw fits and scream and yell, teenagers dont rebel and blindly obey authority figures with absolutely zero resitance whatsoever. Thats why we dont need juvinille detention facillities, because no teenager would ever go against any adults wishes. “No drugs or sex or alcohol.” “Yes ma’am whatever you say, I am the child and you are the adult so I will do whatever you say. We dont need things like timeouts or spankings or grounding either, because children under 13 always listen and would feel too scared and pressured to speak out against adults. “Do your homework, eat your vegetables wash the dishes, clean your room.” “Yes of course I will get to it straight away and eagerly at that, I am a child and you are the adult, so how could I ever say no to you, I am simply too scared of the power dynamic.” All those memories you have of your childhood and other kids in your life, of throwing tantrums, screaming at adults, yelling “NO NO NO NO!” when they try to get you to do the most basic of tasks, hitting, yelling, cussing, that clearly NEVER happned and are just false memories, as children are clearly to scared of the power dynamic adults hold to EVER even voice their disagreement, let alone actively disobey adult orders. Parenting is actually the easiest thing ever, because if you tell your kid to do literally anything, your kid will immediately drop what they are doing and do what you order without any disagreement because power dynamic.
I mean it makes sense really, parents, the adults who have the LARGEST power dynamic over kids, who basically legally own them in, have the EASIEST time getting kids to do what they want via power dynamic. Even getting your toddler to eat your vegetables or your teenager to stop drinking and do their algebra homework is the easiest thing ever and a complete walk in the park because a child will always do whatever you want because you are the adult. So of course, even a random ass adult with zero real legal or social authority over the child other than being over 18, who the child, if they so wanted, could easily lie and say “he abused me” and get the adult sentenced to decades in prison, life on the SO regristry, homeless, jobless, friend and familyless, and abandoned by society, will obviously be able to get the child to do whatever he wants. Because reason.
And of course, this “power dynamic” only matters when it comes to sexual matters. Children can medically transition, sky dive, go horseback riding, do contact sports, all with direct adult intervention and participation, despite the fact that all these actions could lead to death or permanent disabillity, because obviously, a kid getting their dick sucked and potentially not being a huge fan of blowjobs is WAAAAAAAY more serious than literal fucking death.
All those memories you have as a kid of talking back to your parents? According to antis, that never happned. All those memories of making fun of your teachers? Never happned. Of blatantly disobeying and disrespecting adults and their authority? Pedo implantanted propoganda, that clearly could not have happened because the power dynamic would make you too scared to resist adults. Espciially those with a huge power dyanmic over you like teachers and parents, who you NEVER EVER disrespected or disobeyed or talked back to right?
Seriously, what is this magical fantasy world that antis live in? Where children obey and respect adult authority are too scared to ever disobey, where pubsecent and post pubescent teenagers are asexual and have to be “groomed” into being sexual. Where looking at a nude selfie of a kid will telepathically abuse and traumatize the kid, even if she doesnt even know you fucking exist, even if she took the selfie herself, she will still telepathically sense that adult eyes are viewing her picture and traumatize herself accordingly(unless those adult eyes belong to the police or law enforecement, then she will be perfectly fine), where a boy getting his dick sucked will cause crippling life long permanent trauma, where an orgasm is more serious than death itself, where children under the aoc mutually “rape” each other (cocsa). Where finding a 17 and 364 day old teen makes you a fulthy inhuman predator but finding a girl on her 18th birthday hot makes you normal.
I mean, the very fact that antis who usually use this argument start of with “children are told to listen to adults” destroys their entire argument. Because adults wouldnt even HAVE to tell children to listen in the first place if children fucking listened ever. They would just do it. You dont have to tell a fish to swim or bird to peck because they just do. If kids ever fucking listened or respected or feared adult authority we wouldnt have to constantly tell kids over and over and over and over to stop talking and listen. Seriously, all you have to do is search up “bratty kid” or “parenting help, kid wont listen” or “disrespectful teen” or “kid throws tantrum” or “supernanny” to see this supposed “fear of authority and adult power” in action.
Not once in my life do I ever recall being too scared of adults and their “power dynamic”. My parents literally fucking beat me and even THEN I still never gaf and did what I wanted and spoke up when I didnt like something or want to do something an adult wanted me to do. And this is with a PARENT, the adults with the largest power dynamic over their child, BEATING CHILDREN, if even literally beating the fucking child wont make them blindly respect and obey your authority, then how the hell is being some random ass pedo who doesnt force or beat the kid and has no legal or social power over them supposed to do shit? Even the children who are literally fucking BEAT INTO SUBMISSION by the adults with THE MOST POWER still dont obey this “power dynamic” shit. In fact, kids that are forced into things by adults, even by things like beating, tend to act out against adults and be the most. disrespectful. But most pedos arent beating kids, pro Cs arent arguing for sexual contact that involves any type of force or beating and agree that that should stay illegal, and the vast majority of cases of AMSC dont even involve any force or beating, yet antis will say that the power dyanmic alone will make the kids blind obedient slaves?? You can literally beat the shit put of a kid and they will still speak put against you and voice their opinion and disobey your orders, so all this argument is is a red herring.
“Little Jimmy its time for your booster shot.”
“I have a crippling fear of needles and hate shots, but I am so scared of her adult authority and power that I will sit her like a good boy and take it, I wont thrash around and whine and scream or hit or yell or anything, because scary power dynamic” Fuck out my face
Its like the “grooming”. Antis claim that kids arent pleasured by sexual pleasure, espcially not from adults, and have to be “groomed” into enjoying a good dick sucking. That adulrs somehow possess this magical special power to make kids want to do things they dont want to do and dont enjoy. Yet for some reason, this magical grooming can only work for sexual pleasure, if you try to groom a kid into anything else they dont want to do, like their homework or chores or obeying the law, this magically doesnt work. Its almost like…kids…recieve pleasure…from sexual pleasure…and not pain…hmmm. Just something to think about.
