Another day, another pedophile called out.

This comment doesn't sit right with me. The behavior is manipulative and gives groomer vibes, but saying this is pedophilia is a stretch. 16 turning 17y/o and 19y/o are both high school age. Pedophillia is a 28 year old grown man manipulating innocent children and potentially putting them in mortal danger because they're too much of a loser to date another mature adult. This thread shows a hormone ruled teenager manipulating another hormone ruled teenager because they have $700 in the bank from their first part time job at McDonalds. Yes its weird, yes its manipulative and groomy, but no it's not anywhere near pedophilia, this is some dumb shit the teacher would call your mom about.

It's important to make the distinction, because calling any moron a pedo downplays the threat actual pedos pose to children. Actual pedos are monsters and should rot in jail. Stop throwing out life-changing allegations to the stupid teenager who's barely old enough to have a real drivers license trying to play sugar daddy for the high school sophomore. Yeah its weird and creepy, go flame their DMs about it if you want, but if anyone thinks there is an actual case of pedophilia or child endangerment, call the fucking police instead of our fat video game admin council

To be honest I don't like that I said it myself because I allowed someone to tempt me to make a rage bait comment.

Sadly, this was a rage bait comment and upon reflection, that's not something I should do so I will apologize for that. It was a tasteless joke about a rampant history of people who have been degenerates throughout the years in this community, and Nazu should not have caught a stray in that manner.


In truthfulness, I felt that this was more of a weird situation (like a senior dating a freshman in high school) rather than something that was actually horrid.

Thanks for your honest feedback, I'll make better efforts not to submit to old temptations in the future.
