        Oh, I know. It just seems like every time I call the pedophile a pedophile I get down voted for it, so I’m using libertarian friendly language, now.

          Personally I would go out of my way to use libertarian-unfriendly language. But still, the issue I have with the term “propositioned” is that it kinda implies that he may not have gone through with it.

          I’m pretty sure libertarian is a stance on business and government regulation(or lack thereof), so how is that relevant? I guess whatever your crowd is just thinks the way to go is tossing insults at your opposition wherever you can.

            Many Libertarians hold the belief that as long as a person has reached puberty, they can consent to sexual contact.

            Edit: For shits and giggles, here is a post from @Mango@lemmy.world

            You don’t think there’s an evolutionary advantage to getting at girls first when they’re young as possible before other guys do?

            Yeah. So… I understand why they might be so angry about the Libertarian jab, now. Even pedophiles don’t want to be called Libertarians…

              I don’t care about libertarians, and your quote is very out of context. I’m only bothered by you people who think you gotta drag down everyone around you. My conversation was about evolution where sex is the only way you make a blip on the radar. Shit like rape and pedophilia are literally competitive advantages which explains why it’s such common behavior.

              People like you who make talk about it taboo are the people who enable it by keeping it hidden. It absolutely needs to be addressed if we’re going to promote bodily autonomy and consent as the better means of building the future. Get over yourself and get over your instincts.

                Coming across this, a bit of advice?

                There’s two mistakes you’re making.

                The first is bothering to try and discuss the subject online when there’s another wave of moral panic around the subject.

                The second is in engaging with people after the first exchange shows they’re not on the same wavelength.

                It’s one of those things where you’ve got good points, but they aren’t points people will stop and think about at all. They’ll just keep having emotional reactions because that’s how they are. That’s how most people approach life. They feel something, and react. Once that happens, there’s no reason to reevaluate the situation because there’s an assumption of being right because they feel it.

                Doesn’t help that you let yourself fall into the slapfight really fast, but that’s not really cogent to how it starts.

                  Yeah, I guess I’m feeding trolls who lack the self awareness to handle their instincts.

                Yoooo. My guy doubled down on his pedophilia. Bro… you need to check yourself into some kind of treatment center. I looked through some more of your posting, and I hope you don’t live in Portland. I’d hate to ever cross paths with you.
