Source: ifyouonlynews.com
The largest conservative conference of the year known as CPAC is in the process of self-immolation after the invited keynote speaker, professional bigot Milo Yiannopoulos was recorded not only defending pedophilia but actually encouraging it.
In a hangout session recorded and posted online, the Breitbart writer is seen explaining to the group (including one person inexplicably wearing a wrestling mask) why raping children isnt always bad. His justification was horrific.
This arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent, which totally destroys the understanding that many of us have of the complexities and subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships.
The relationship he was specifically referring to was talking about an adult having sex with a 13-year-old boy. Even the guy in the wrestling mask seemed embarrassed to be a part of this.

(41,977 posts)You are in no way, shape or form, or under any circumstances, defending pedophillia. Cause I got to tell you, that's what it sounded like.
Having an on-line discussion on a Democratic board, during very tense times, even seemingly defending a perverted, racist right wing piece of shit like Milo Yiannopoulas, is not anyone's best move.

(8,747 posts)When I was 12 in Jr. High, back in 1969, most of the boys, and a number of the girls wanted sex. The lucky ones had various types of sex. We had sex education, and access to condoms. So as far as I am concerned we had the knowledge and the ability to consent. No one was forcing anyone. You don't like that, too bad.

How do you know, for an absolute fact informed consent was a part of all the 12 years old you are referencing repertoire? Can you state, with absolute assurance there was no coercion, conditions, force and each experience was if not a good experiance, not a traumatic one? In 1969?
MicaelS
(8,747 posts)I do know no one that I knew complained.
LanternWaste
(37,748 posts)"most of the boys, and a number of the girls wanted sex.."
As your entire justification is predicated simply on "what children want..." you may need to try again.
Good to see these conversation arise every now and gain though, as they often work as fly-paper for the worst among us, advertising themselves without fully realizing it.
And, as peevishly and as petulantly as yours... "You don''t like that, too bad."
Iggo
(47,552 posts)Because that's what this whole thing is about, adults fucking children.
I'm going to put you down as being against that, okay?
MicaelS
(8,747 posts)But if two adolescents whose age is the same, then I believe they should be able to engage is consensual sexual activity without finger waggers on the Right and Left shaming them.
Those on the Left who decry them engaging is sex, would not be wagging their fingers if an adolescent wanted an abortion while the Right would be condemning all sexual activity and contraception.
Most on the Right and some on the Left are modern versions of Orwell's Anti-Sex League, and I am definitely calling all of them out.

(583 posts)NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)There is NO valid defense of pedophilia, not with a "consenting" 13 year old or anyone else underage. I remember being 13, very well, and there's no way I, or any of my classmates, had the life experiences or the wisdom to make an intelligent choice about having sex. That's why we have statutory rape laws. As far as age, where do you draw the line? 13? 12? younger?
I can't believe I'm seeing this on DU.

He's saying "Gay people are horrible, I know, I am one. And trans people are even worse." So the right gets the "proof" it needs to demonize LBGT and roll back equality rules.

TDale313
(7,820 posts)In a rather perplexed and disgusted way, that all those on the left care about is consent. And, um, yeah. Pretty much. And no, a 13 year old cannot, in any legal or moral way, consent to sex with an adult 20 or 30 years older than him or her in a position of authority/power. And lust does not equal ability to consent or make a rational decision about this.

(10,476 posts)Many here, myself included, assumed that all we'd have to do is run campaign ad after campaign ad of Donald Trump saying misogynist, racist, hateful things and the election would be a breeze. There are many Tea Party loons who just lap this stuff up and don't care.
2018 has to focus on OUR candidates and getting progressive voters to the voting box. We don't win against hate by convincing their hateful voting base that they're wrong, we have to win by getting more of us normal people to vote.

Kimchijeon
(1,606 posts)He just goes around sayin' the most offensive crap he can, trolling as hard as his little brains can muster.
Look, they know they don't need anyone with much intellect anymore. Just basic level trolling skills.
All they need is to appeal to the emotions of the halfwitted people who are spurred to vote out of hatred. They know hate sells, trolling sells. It works, plain and simple. There's no critical thinking for the most part. Just blind emotional response. So anyone who is good at being a baldfaced liar and troll is PERFECT for them to keep on board. Media is corporate, or social, easy to manipulate. Too many people don't bother to research what "news" they see.
Why would they get rid of him? He's great to have onboard for that younger asshole internet troll demographic. Also he can draw in the older bigots with some trolling too (like gays=pedophiles) They L?VE him, he's still handy for their trolling purposes.
