I was honestly a bit amazed – it's one thing to know pedos exist, another entirely to see vocal pedo defense in the wild bsky.app/profile/jamt...

The old ' technically it's ephebophilia' defense

He's also anti flouride and thinks vaccines cause autism. It's just a sea of red flags.

Yep. Check the post immediately above this one for another gem bsky.app/profile/alex...

Oh he likes AI slop. His brain is thoroughly rotted.

He caught a block so fast.

"Revolution? More like 'revolting', amirite?"

So they're making clear now that statutory rape is fine with them. Fucking chuds.

Often promoted by the Christian right. There are just so many instances of them just shrugging off their own pastors sexually assaulting girls. They will blame the girls for wearing inappropriate clothing.

They’ll turn around and say that back in the Middle Ages men regularly married girls who we now say are underaged. And my answer would be once upon a time people executed thieves and heretics on a cross, and in the Middle Ages we burned them at the stake. Maybe don’t choose your laws from that time.

Also, from *historical records,* in Western Europe from the 1100s to the 1600s, the average age of a bride was 19-21, and her groom about 2 years older. This age skewed about a year younger for brides in Central and Eastern Europe and about 3 years older (so roughly the same age) for grooms.

None of those motherfuckers can read Medieval Latin.

Yeah, I kind of thought that was true. But there were times when brides were younger and an average means there were definitely many younger than 19 during those centuries. We’ve certainly seen that in the US too.

My point is that just because something was once socially acceptable doesn’t mean it should always be socially acceptable.

Agreed that society changes, and of late, much of those changes are in the realm of "let's make things less awful for women and gay people." The idea that "Oh, yah, errabody married girls at 13, 14!" just makes me want to shove someone's head into pig shit untl the bubbles stop comng up.

They forget that the records we have on that were usually some poor 12 year old duchess/princess, & an alliance depended on her producing an heir. A lot of those girls never conceived again, the babies tore them up. Margaret Beaufort had "procedures" written up for delivering heirs, later. 😡

Ah the old "it's not pedophilia if they've gone through puberty" argument.

Things now confirmed. He was raised very religious. He is conservative. He thinks he is owed a child bride.

Since girls are not adults, a “teenage girl” is by definition a child.

(its my ability to have shit like this on hand is why he lets me follow him)
