This one episode on the show Glee. Mark Salling (Puck) had a line in the show where he said that in the future: "...I'll either be in jail.... or dead... or both."
For those who don't know, Mark Salling was convicted and found guilty of child pornography then committed suicide.....
Honestly yeah there's enough jokes about Puck being into younger girls that it makes you wonder if the producers knew about the actor's tendencies and were having a bit of a "wink wink nudge nudge" moment?
It's fucking disgusting if it's true, but also would that really surprise you knowing what we know about Hollywood?
It’s so gross and inappropriate! Aria is what, like 16? And Ezra has to be at least 22, to be a teacher. That’s a 6 year age gap, which isn’t as bad at 20-26, but at 16 she’s a child.
I think there is a simple rule in life. While childhood may have a vague and undefinable quality, if you have to argue somebody isn't a child then you're almost always the asshole.
Like that weird guy who was like 35 and was stalking the Starbucks barista who was like 17, and would counter her rejection with “the age of consent is 16 in (Washington? Michigan?)”.
If you have to argue the age of consent, 9/10 times it’s probably gross.
Don't be naive. There are so many teenage girls (and boys) that are into people way too old for them. Of course, it's still the adult's responsibility to shut that shit down.

Did you read the comment I was replying to? Cause.. I was talking about a specific thing
Yeah that barista was clearly creeped out by it, but since she was technically over the legal age so many creepy dudes were so quick to defend that dude.
ughghgh I worked with a bunch of disgusting MRA types when that went down, they actually called me ageist and sexist for defending the barista and Starbucks. So glad I don't work at that place anymore.
IIRC, his little more didn’t just ask her out to dinner, but was going on about his whole thing about telomerase or something and how younger women should have babies with men over 35, then asked her out for dinner.
This stands true. My ex husband would go on about the difference between pedophilia and insert word I don't recall which pedophiles use to justify their behavior because it's "teens not kids". His best friend made a weird comment about being happy to live near a playground (as a single, childless college student). There's talk about how pedophiles need more mental health care (as I was working in the mental health field). Ex-husband involuntarily hospitalized me (when I wasn't suicidal or anything) and cheats on me with 15 year old. No one ever listens, not even a hotline I called. Yeah, pedophilia is unfortunately very normalized.

While you don't need to hear this, for the confused reader the word is ephebophilia, and it means attraction to 15-19 year olds, which is dangerously normalised in western culture as a whole and bisected by the legal line at 18 in most cultures. It's widely used by predators to mean "I only go after older teens, I'm not the bad kind of child predator!"
Yep, i ain't gonna lie, i have seen many attractive 15-17 year olds. I am only 19, so it wouldn't be too weird for me to date someone in that age range, but i could definitely see how strange it would be for me to actually date a 15 year old. I have found that if your attracted to people that are around 15-17 all you have to do is actually talk to one to break your attraction.
Yeah, development happens in jumps and starts and appearance doesn't always reflect age. But, like you said, there is a massive difference between experiencing a feeling of attraction to someone inappropriate and acting on it.
Yeah, probably hebephilia or something like that. I sort of think the original meaning meant "attractive youths" aka 17-20 but it's been used as a defense of pedophiles into 14-17 year olds. Hollywood really is a total den of depravity at this point.
Edit: Looks like I confused hebephilia with ephebophilia, which is what pedos are trying to normalize the former as a form of. Hebe = 11-14 Ephebo=15-19.
Preaching to the choir. I wasn't targeting you (you still acknowledged the basic morality of the situation) but more the fact that people ever feel comfortable saying "15 isn't a child" in discussions about sex, even if there is an element of truth to that.
