  9.  @jerryhehe  Isn't it true that by the end of that episode, it's made clear that this sort of thing is not "nice" at all?

  10. could *have

  11. Not at all.

  12. Not so. Smong other things, brain development is still occurring.

  15.  @WindsofChange  Kids today are actually better behaved than they were in the past, and besides, the two are not connected.

  16.  @WindsofChange  People always say that, but it just isn't true. See Kevin Drum's extensive work on the subject, among others. His data might be about ten years old now, but I think that it still holds.

  17. The "hot" ones result in news stories that get more views.

  18. Not this again. It's a total red herring, along with being censorious nonsense.

  19. Unfortunately, yes.

  27.  @ybi.3x  There's a power imbalance.

  28. This sort of thing is not more common now. It's just getting reported more often.

  29. This causes a lot of harm, which sometimes only manifests later on.

  30. None of that (to the extent that it's true) changes the mental (and physical) reasons why ages of consent exist.

  35. That's not how charges work. It has nothing to do with severity.

  36. Not so.

  40.  @steelhurricane4041  Besides other things, there's a serious power imbalance here. Do you think that this should be legal?
    1
  41. Yes, as a matter of fact.
    1
  42.  @afluffywhitekitty8589  Not just legally. This sort of thing does a lot of damage, which sometimes doesn't surface until later on. What, do you think that this should be legal?

  43. It's just being exposed/discussed more now, which is good.

  44. This causes a lot of harm, which sometimes only manifests later on.

  45.  smokeydiamond489  No. The facts are that this damages the boys involved.

  46.  @3naturalBionutrition Do you think that this sort of thing should be legal? It's not funny; attitudes like yours make it worse, and you don't know what you're talking about.
    1
  47.  @3naturalBionutrition  Even without the other things that I could mention, there's a serious power imbalance here. The evidence is that it does a lot of harm, and it doesn't matter that it's considered normal elsewhere and/or in the past.

  48. They were adults in that story.

  49. I realize that this is a South Park reference, but no, it's not nice.

  50.  @Derpherppington  First, is English not your first language? Second, no, I'm hetero, and I know that this sort of thing is very harmful. There's a power imbalance; turning her down can affect one's success in her class, for example. It's like the "casting couch" in the film industry. If women don't let men have their way with them, it can ruin their careers.

  51.  @Derpherppington  Grow the hell up. Do you think that this should be legal?

  52. It might not be an apt comparison, but this still causes a lot of harm, which sometimes only manifests later on.

  53. There's a power imbalance, among other things.

  54.  @ReligiousZombie  Again, those are non sequiturs. None of this is related.

  55.  @ReligiousZombie  One can't include links in YT comments.

  56. This causes a lot of damage, which sometimes only manifests later on.

  57. There's a power imbalance.

  58.  @audreymay9378  I'm referring to the teacher-student situation.

  60.  @eleanorrhiannon  These days it's getting reported more and tolerated less.

  61. It is.

  63. "Looking like" is one thing, but doing this sort of thing causes a lot of harm.

  65. This causes a lot of harm, which sometimes only manifests later on.

  66.  @kyled2329  Attitudes like yours are part of the reason that men keep the damage inside as they get older. It often doesn't manifest for a while, and then they're reluctant to get help, since they're supposed to have enjoyed it.

  67. Why?
    1
  68. This causes a lot of harm, which sometimes only manifests later on.

  69. True, but irrelevant.
    1
  70. Because they're ephebephiles.

  71. True, but the word is "their."
