Honestly? Anything to distract us from the hellscape that has been this year and the upcoming elections.Another month, another pedophile thread on the Escapist.
Yes, because we can apparently only talk on absolutes and find the worst possible example of things. There is definitely no in between

It's honestly a bit weird how often paedophilia is discussed here on The Escapist.Another month, another pedophile thread on the Escapist.
Just keep in mind people that as someone that doesn't feel sexual attraction towards anyone or anything, I'm judging you all, you bunch of perverts!
I feel the need to ruin this for everyone by reminding people that Léon The Professional is surprisingly paedophile friendly, he rejects her constantly thoughout the film, sure, but by the end he calls her love and scenes throughout the film have Mathilda engage in a lot of sexual behaviour, which is to say insinuating herself to Léon, supposedly under the pretence that she's trying to act like an adult, but if we take context into account and the fact that the director of the film Jean-Luc Besson was dating a 15 year old girl at the time of filming with which she had a child by next year, the real disturbing context of the film surfaces, in which it's trying to portray romantically the relationship between an almost middle aged man and a 12-year old girl.
So yeah, while the film can definitely be read as you describe, I don't think choosing a film that portrays a romantic relationship between a child and an adult in a mostly positive manner that was directed by an actual paedophile is like a great choice on how to handle these things tastefully.
BTW, I don't give a shit that the age of consent in France is 15, it doesn't make him any less of a paedophile.

I couldn't even finish listening to that. :X
Like when me and my sister had to share a room.. if she had put that on her stereo and not on her headset, I would have likely wiped her stereo off into the floor .. again. XD
Soooo, you're saying we'll end up like it was back in biblical times. Well, the conservatives do want us to become a godly country again. So I guess child wives, buying selling women as property, and only being good for breeding, WOULD be in keeping with the lowering of morals, as we would be adopting religious morals at that point. So yeah I guess we're right on track for that world, if the religious types have their way.

Is bestiality actually bad? I mean there is the 'eww' factor but is it actually damaging? Considering all the things we do to animals, it seems like fucking them would be on the less fucked up side. I guess there is the consent issue and power dynamic.
I'm always reminded of a quote from Michael Stipe (lead singer for REM), when he was asked....I think it was about his sexuality, waaaay back in the day on MTV at a festival.
And I'm paraphrasing slightly, but it's basically my thoughts on sexuality.
"What someone does with their junk, is none of your/my business, unless we are sitting on their lap." With the implied caveat of adult consent. If I'm not being directly impacted by the physical application of your junk to a body that isn't me, and that body is an adult who is enthusiastically into it, I don't really care what you get up to.
This is about as slow as I go for music on my must play list... These are the " mild ones" I still must have
Yea, I could care less what he does with his junk, it is the song/ album that sucked. XD
Eh, I've never been a fan of JP, but most metal bands were never my jam. But I did love driving a remote control Knight Rider car in Watchdogs 2, while blaring Turbolover. That was just too damn fun.
