    Good ol’ “anchoring tactics” to make the discussion about 15 year olds.

    The youngest documented age was 14 in criminal filings, and those investigations have been repeatedly criticized.

    The youngest alleged victims, in civil court filings, are 11.

    So, let’s stop talking about 15 year olds. Let’s discuss 11 year olds. I’m assuming the Overton window will be shifted by bots to talk about how the world was pre-1800s.

      If someone ever finds themselves having to use the phrase “non-adult women” in defense of their actions, preeeeeetty sure you can write them off as the bad guy. They’re called children.
