    No, it’s that he was a hebephile instead of a pedophile.

    There is a distinction between the two, they are both still fucking bad.

        No, I’m not — I was disgusted to hear Megan Kelly try to draw some kind of positive distinction between “barely legal types” and “children”.

        Personally I don’t consider the distinction between terms to be meaningful beyond human need to categorize. A 12 to 16 year old is still a fucking child, a 17 year old is still a child. There are plenty of arguments to make about whether 18 year olds are adults.

        That being said, nothing about my comment suggests that I support the message they’re trying to portray. Maybe read the entire comment before calling me a conservative next time, ok?

          It’s the same old defense heard from conservatives everywhere. He’s not a pedophile, he’s a hebephile. Whatever

        … And this, my friends, is a perfect example of Poe’s Law.
