A 40 year old dating an 18 year old is pedophilia whether its legal or not. Sorry, not sorry, creeps of siberia
Don't you get tired?
Misusing the term "pedophilia" only gives room for pedos to mask their behavior. Large age gaps are weird, but not pedophilia
>>805795legends don't get tired of dropping banger after banger
I agree, unfortunately I don’t think there’s any way this can be stopped. Unless you want to heighten the age of consent
So cool of you to deny the agency of young adults, fascist.
If you look at the etymology, the "pedo" part in "paedophilia" means child, while "philia" means smth like affection.
Even though it is ultimately an assumption to set an age (16,18,19…) to be the definite transformation line between a child and an adult in conscinousness, most people won't consider 18+ yr old human a child culturally.
Kindly reminder that this is what chuds mean when they talk about “grooming”:

No, not pedophilia, just has some real potential for abuse.
Characterfags being libtards, say it aint so…
Now to be charitable, it is very creepy for a 40 year old to chase after swifties or something. On the other hand, so many people have deep and cherished age gap relationships. I know a dude whose most valuable relationship was with a woman in her late thirties whom he dated when he was 19. Ultimately, when both parties are of age its stupid to judge relationship based on labels instead of how the parties involved actually interact with each other. This same mentality of judging relationship based on vibes is the same mentality rightoids adopt to shame and attack alternative relationships like polycules. We all need to learn to be more humble and less judgemental

Also keep in mind that the people who spend the most time thinking about this, namely academic feminists, are still deeply divided around this issue. Not just with age gap relationship, but also with power dynamics in general (i.e what about relationship with teachers and adult students, or between neurotypical and autists, or caregiver and patients, etc)
It is the vulgarized, pop culture discourse around power dynamics that always confidently brand everything and everyone problematic. The actual academics are much less prone to jumping the shark
>>805836The way to defeat these assumptions is to just ask whether they think 18 year olds should be able to vote or held responsible for criminal activity. If they say yes then clearly they think they're capable of making their own decisions. A lot of the discourse around it makes some insane assumptions though. Like most people seem to assume that if an older man (say in his 30s or 40s) dates an 18-19 year old woman it's because he's predatory or trying to take advantage of her. In 90% of cases it will probably be just because she's more conventionally attractive than older women. People insist on reading malice into a situation where shallowness is the most obvious motivation.
>>805794>a 40 year old dating an 18 year old is pedophiliano, it is not. stop that shit. you can say it might be a skewed relationship with skewed power dynamics but it's not pedophilia, she's an adult, a fully mature biological female who has reached the age of legal adulthood. not to give the edgy pedophile creeps some legitimacy, but they make a good point when they say that adolescents who have reached sexual maturity but who are still underage legally are more or less (physically) adults, so it is fact that the law arbitrarily prohibits sexual relations between classes of adults.
pedophilia has a specific definition and people are DUMB to abuse it, like
>>805796 suggests.
Highjacking age gaps thread to vent
When people bring up age gap discourse on relationships i always tell them my uncle and his wife met and hooked when they were 17 and 23.
And then I hear them talk about grooming and how it was normal back then for men to seek preschoolers without revealing its unc who was the youger one, then suddenly it's not as gross (in their face remarks atleast sometimes)
>>805882
nah man, this image is coal. kys chomo
>>805896That reminds me of something that happened near me at a high school. This guy met his wife when he was 17 and a student at the high school and she was 21 and an employee of the high school. They got married had a couple kids and both ended up working at the school one as a teacher and the other as a counselor. He ended up leaving her for a younger teacher around 2020.
>>805897Mods are fukken pussy and so are you, but my point still stands:
The anons here whining about the age-gap hysteria coming to roost don’t get to complain about it when they partook in said hysteria when it came to age-gap relationships involving people below the magic age line.
That’s what happens when you base your notion of “liberation” around the deliberate exclusion of other marginalized groups to score brownie points with reactionaries. In fact, the cis gays stood with TERFs over trans people, and now you’re seeing a rise in homophobia across the west, which is downstream from both trans and gay rights activists shitting on MAPs after caving in on reactionary pressure after a century of MAP-gay alliance.
Harry Hay at least had the balls of not caving in to reactionaries unlike his other peers, and honestly Harry Hay was right about idpol. You should look it up, considering how the father of the gay rights movement was a Maoist
>>805797Wrong
>>805794If an eighteen year old is an adult, why is it pedophilia? Eighteen is old enough to drive, work, serve in military, and go to prison
To call it pedophilia is to admit to infantilism
>>805848I find it funny that people have no problem with fictional teens being used as soldiers or victims of unspeakable bloodshed but god forbid they have romantic relations with anyone a bit older
>>805838>>805843>>805836This is a result of sociological infantilization of young people.
Millennials and Gen Z are products of stranger danger and helicopter parenting.
Most youth media aimed at post boomer adults shamelessly promote awkwardness and cringe as essential to youth for “proper development”
Your twenties is now considered the second decade of adolescence, where it’s considered okay to outside fruitless endeavors.
The brain development theory is being pushed to save face for immature nuances that would never have been acceptable past early puberty.
>>805839SJWs were always in sane they just went turbo insane around the COVID era
They now are targeting fanfiction writers for “problematic fiction”
Please keep in mind that Luffy poster thinks that rejecting people for being ugly is “eugenics”
>>805987> Being attracted to minors is categorically different than same sex attraction or being gender non-conforming because minors are overwhelmingly incapable of consenting, so the comparison is fucking ridiculousIn the sociolegal sense this is correct
But sociopersonally, it’s not
>>805896There’s fandoms that think teen characters dating a vicenarian character is “le grooming/pedophilia)
These same fandoms have no problem with teen characters being used as expendable foot soldiers
