fuck this guy for putting white text on light pink background, how did he even fuck up a text page design, there's like 5 choices involved

If you're 10 emails deep in an argument about why you're not a pedo it might time to take a step back.

How is this project still going?

I think I heard about it a decade, thought "that sounds like a funny premise", downloaded it to try playing it, bounced off it quickly (it was very barebones), and then grew up and decided it didn't sound interesting or worthwhile. But that time has presumably also passed for the developer and at no point did he decide "yeah this is just not worth creating, I'm scrapping the project."

Actually read the image

Oh that's how the project is still going, this guy has no judgement

Still managed to be a more competent programmer/dev than PirateSoftware lol.

Oi, you got a loicense for that sex?

[–] DerRedMax@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There’s an interesting sleight of hand in his explainer. He uses the framing of a license to have sex as if there were two individuals, the same age, consenting to intercourse. When you use the example of 18 or 19, it seems rediculous.

Most people reflect on their own experiences and think, well I was getting handsy in the back of a Buick when I was 15, so setting the age that “the government allows you to have sex” at 18 or 19 seems a bit excessive.

But they are advocating for an adult of any age to have sex with someone who is younger, presumably under the age of 18. Not two people the same age.

Really a sick trick. These people are awful.

This is it. This is the actual crux of the issue. "Age of Consent" really isn't (or at least shouldn't be) about how old you have to be to be "ready for sex" but about drawing a line between children and adults to protect the former from being abused by the latter. There is a categorical difference between two 15-year olds like you said, getting handsy with each other and a 30-year old "getting handsy" with a 15 year-old. The first one is relatively normal human development, the second one is objectively sexual assault of a child.

The age of consent laws are flawed and do lack nuance largely because the bar is set too low. There should be gradations to it, but they should be going in the direction towards older, not younger. As one possible example of adding nuance to it, making it illegal for a 30-year old person to have a sexual relationship with an 19-year old person, but not perhaps with a 23-year old. Some of the so-called logic in the OP screed is sound, but because the person writing it still has a specific conclusion they want to reach, they can't see that if followed to an unbiased conclusion, it's advocating for an AoC that is higher than 18, not lower.

"Why I am normal, volume 17, annotated edition."

So, this whole thing about mental development. It is true that the brain develops at different places, but it is only fully developed at around 25 at the earliest. For many people they can be near 30 before it is fully developed. For some people, their brains don't develop in the same way or same extent as others. So if anything, shouldn't this line of reasoning lead to a much older age of consent?

He's a creep but I feel bad making fun of him because he's clearly very autistic. He needs to get off the internet, reevaluate some things, and find real-life friends.

Edit: I just read the allegations. He should also go directly to jail

I honestly didn't know it was possible, but this whole screed would probably be better and far less humiliating if he had just said "Yes, I'm attracted to underage girls."

[–] charly4994@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

I'd sorta agree on the literal wording of "...other people might not be mentally developed enough to make that decision until age 19 or 20." I was chatting with people in their 30s-50s when I was 16-18. I was lying about my age to them all, but when I did hit 18 and I met up with someone (and got over the crisis of identity and and cracking the egg) I came to the conclusion a few years later that I really wasn't ready to make that decision. I don't regret it at this point since experimenting ended up being a net positive for me in the end, I might have reached it in a bit less of a chaotic manner since things were already moving towards the egg cracking anyway.
