I'm not moving the goal posts. Read vaultboy's post. Of the four sentences (if we ignore the apparent typo) three of them focus only on the age gap. The other establishes the premise of grooming and mentions the age gap again. Vaultboys point never addresses a 17 year old's capacity to consent. Vaultboy makes a case that the age gap is objectionable. That is a valid point, it's just not the one that they thought were making.

Bad bot.

No, but I also haven't made comments like yours that display a profound lack of understanding for what constitutes a victim.

Are you one of those people that say girls aren't victims when fake porn is made of them and distributed so long as it's never distributed directly to them?

People have the opinion that the climate isn't changing. People have the opinion that the world is flat. People have the opinion everyone with dark skin is sub human.

Some people frame their terrible views as opinions so they can use the bad faith argument that it's just a difference of opinions so everyone should just be ok with their hateful or ignorant stances. Some people frame their terrible views as opinions to try and avoid valid criticism of their opinions contradictions with reality.

You are fervently engaging in a behavior exhibited by the hateful and ignorant and there is a pretty safe bet as to why.

Is this post part of a meta trend of making obvious statements as though they were unpopular opinions?

Your user name is appropriate, but probably not the way you intended.

Your phone or car saying you were near the scene of a crime when it occurred. Your phone or car showing that you regularly cross paths with a person of interest. Jammer would keep those devices from rating you out.

that’s why opposing Putin “defends” liberty

You lost me here. Could you explain?

I occasionally listen to a podcast that reviews basically any and all movies that are adapted from comics and they take their name from the exact issue you mentioned, Not Another Origin Story. I guess it shows that even among the people that really enjoy and are passionate about superhero movies constantly redoing the origin is a tired act.

The point you are making is aside from consent though.

I used to like Neil but then I saw him give a talk in person at a local college. There was some girl that asked a silly question during the q and a part of the visit and in front of an audience of hundreds of people Neil laid into her about how her question was stupid and she was wasting everyone's time. He did that until she started crying and left. After the next person asked a question as Neil was wrapping up his answer he decided to get another jab at the girl he already chased off by saying "and that's a real question". It's hard to convey how clearly the cruelty and contempt hung in that room.

An omnipotent god needs, by definition, be equally able and likely to be exceedingly cruel as wellwilling.

How do you figure that?

I think you would be surprised how many people would not only understand but also engage in the same activity.

More of the childish insults that you were acting above and accusing me of poor reading comprehension after I pointed out your own issue with it.

Are you special? Because you seem to have missed that the original "they" and the "they" offered in Apollo's anecdote were not the same or comparable. Apollo never engaged with sympathy. I asked a question that they didn't answer. I asked it again politely and they started getting rude. I am not demanding an answer I'm pointing out that they just never actually answered.

I have not refused to engage in discussion. You gave an anecdote about yourself instead of answering my question about the percentage that mellow was talking about. I acknowledged your anecdote and asked my unanswered question again. You are avoiding the question because you know answering it will show that your initial quip was off. Mellow wasn't saying that wanting those things was selfish. Don't cry about insults. Every negative turn in this conversation has been initiated by you.

No, you wanted to be hostile from the start. And you still never actually answered the question. Dodging the point and the question is manipulation. Doing so repeatedly does seem dishonest.

Keep dodging the point you know I've made. I'll want to hear your answer if you ever give an on topic honest one.

Or you could have answered the question I asked instead of offering an irrelevant personal anecdote.
