all dating is predatory to a certain extent

if you prey on a certain demographic (u know...the one we are actually talking about)...those psychosocial impulses that drive you to them is what makes u the true predator...

sure...a lion could lay down and swat at the first baby gazelle to pass his lying body...but if he stalks those baby gazelles by running past their momma and daddies...yea, that's clearly a bit different

it doesn't make the laying lion unwrong...just unoffensively so to many

also, it's worth mentioning...despite statutory laws we recognize that people mature at different paces and that if consent is giving even though they can't "legally"...there is a lot more room for moral grays...

but when someone constantly plays in the kiddie pool AND the harm is damn near quantifiable...yes...way more fucking outrage...nuance and common sense goes a long way

if you find them equally offensive...congrats on your odd ethical stiff necked high horse
