Comment on Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick...

You’re missing the point here. This isn’t about defending whatever you seem to disagree on. Its the fact that you seem to think critical analysis is meaningless and “indifferent”. The first commenter had this message instilled, yet you are correlating this to things which where not even mentioned.

In respect to the post itself, then yes the age designation is meaningless as you cannot redefine rape and abuse. It is pretty clear that this comment thread was for a specific issue.

Why should it matter to society what the difference between the two is, if the better of the two is still bad enough they should be hung by their toenails and beaten to death with a sack of hammers?

After a certain amount of bad, there’s not much you can do to punish it.

What reason do we have to discuss the difference, unless you think a 30 year old fucking a 17 year old is redeemable?

  To answer your question, firstly consider the point of what is misinformation. Because this isn’t about the right or wrongs, but the factualities of science and countering misinformation. The function of this thread was to analyse the differences between different stages of age groups which are considered minors. This was highlighted by the root op.

  Redirecting the question to you, why do you think it is reasonable to be going off topic?
  
  It is clear the overall aim here is to reinforce the actualities. By introducing rhetorical questions such as “Why should it matter to society what the difference between the two is” it is an attack on education as a whole. Highlighting the differences and defining facts is the whole foundation of society. Of course, this isn’t ethics class, it is biology and psychology.

    This is a comment chain in a post about the Epstein files in which the top comment is about a 30 year old fucking someone in their late teens.
    
    Its entirely on topic, fuck off with your bad faith arguments.

    but do people really see no difference? If you need a legal line in the sand to determine if it’s either totally fine or straight to the guillotine then maybe there’s something wrong with you.
    
    This is a segment of the root op. This was the general scope of this. So I’ll advise you to quit with the straw men arguments and reread the whole passage.
