Am I taking sides? No, I am saying that both parties are guilty. Chief is guilty of having sexual discussions with a minor for a year. Ashly is guilty of knowingly engaging in inappropiate conversations with an adult as a minor.

There is no way you wrote this out and thought to yourself "this is a normal and well-adjusted way to think about A LITERAL CHILD being groomed and taken advantage of". I genuinely refuse to believe it.

This is genuinely insane and upsetting behavior. None of this was her fault in the slightest, and the fact that you still believe that it was is a crazy hill to die on.

I do not give a single fuck that your friend that you chose to defend over taking the side of a CHILD with actual evidence of her being preyed upon was going through a rough time. He was a predator, you had all the evidence you needed and you still chose to go out of your way to call her a "deceitful snake in the grass" while pushing for her ban. This is disgusting and delusional.

Edit after reading more replies:

She was a child, a fucking child. She didn't know any better, she didn't have the life experiences to know better. None of this is her fault, the responsibility in these situations ALWAYS falls on the adult. Children can not consent. I will truly never understand how this is a hard concept to wrap your head around.

As someone who has also been in her shoes, many fucking times while growing up, genuinely go fuck yourself.
