    I dunno, maybe I’m in the minority here (hope not) but I don’t ever recall hearing about any child rapist/molester - regardless of the depths of their depravity, how prolific they were/are, etc. - and thinking “wow, they must be an absolute sexual tyrannosaurus rex; I should subscribe to their newsletter”… Like, there isn’t an amount of nine year olds you can pay/coerce/cajole/force into sex (which, again, is by definition rape as minor do not possess the ability to consent) that is somehow going to impress me. Or anyone who isn’t a piece of shit, for that matter.

    So… That’s a pretty weird point to make, honestly…

        Ok, buddy… Try that argument out on the cops when you get busted for having nudes of teenagers on your phone… “The traditional view is that teenagers are adults-in-training; I was clearly just allowing them to gain valuable adult experience.”

        I bet the judge would absolutely adore that argument. I’m sure they’d see things your way.
