Okay, but the context of this meme is people making arguments that “children” shouldn’t be protected from pedophiles because they are potentially biologically “capable” of bearing young.
Every adult person on some basic level does know the difference between biological capability, age and status as an adult.
To obfuscate that in a search for “clarity” only allows wrongdoers to work their way out of bad situations.
Of course there may be some fringe circumstance that is so fucked, confusing and bizarre that it may in fact need some kind of understanding deeper than a basic moral or legal understanding. However rich, powerful, informed, adults intentionally engaging with minors in sexual, intimate and private ways is not one of them.
I understand you yourself are not attempting to protect pedophiles, but please understand that you need to specifically make that clear before you make such a comment or argument. That discourse is valid, but needs to be properly contextualized.
The user I responded to changed the subject in my mind. Neither of us referenced the original post other than we talked about definitions. The original post is so obviously a bad faith argument coming from the Nazi that it would’ve never occurred to me anyone needs to point it out. This isn’t Twitter where 70% of users are nazis.
