Yeah. It's kind of gross, but whole genres of porn are barely legal 18-20 year olds. Sounds like that's what he's into. And he went about it in a very creepy way unlike Leonardo DiCaprio that uses the prestige of the model and hollywood industry.
Sounds like he is into 16 years olds to me.
Yeah, but it sounds like he waited until they are 18.
Oh, so it's OK then 👎
Legally, yes.
That doesn't make it much better...
Well it makes it legal. So that's empirically better.
Well obviously it's better legally. It's pretty terrible from a moral standpoint though.
Legal is significantly better than illegal
Did you read what I wrote below?
No I read what you wrote above.
Having read the below now, I do agree with this
Fucking an adult, and a teenager are not the same thing.
Yeah. Fucking a 18 year old that is pretending to be 15 is creepy, not criminal.
If they are 18 or 19 it is the same thing.
What mentality do you think someone who only chases 18 year old girls has? If the age of consent was lower, they'd go lower.
But it's not lower and he didn't go lower. I think he's a creep. Just not sure he's technically a pedophile or doing anything super illegal based on the article. And being into 18 year olds isn't that out there. Just look at porn, strip clubs, the model industry, film industry etc... Also, not sure if he only chases 18 year olds. That was just the topic of the article about the 18/early 20s.
