    | she was 16, and he was 21

    Related a story about being 23 with a 16-yo back in the 90s and lemmy informed me I was a vile rapist. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Guess it was only OK 200-years ago.

      Yes. It was generally considered okay, and then most of humanity realized how long it takes children to mature and realized it’s not okay.

      Kinda like slavery. Or colonialization. Or any number of other topics.

      In many places back in the 90s, you are a statuatory rapist. Even where age of consent had exceptions for persons close in age, those were typically 2-4 years, so you still would have been.

      Make yourself feel better about it however you wish, but you sure haven’t expressed any sort of regret or anything here, so yeah, you sound like someone who supports statutory rape to me.

      Looking for sympathy on a history post for fucking an under age girl is a WILD choice. I had no idea who you were and that would’ve been something I could live without knowing. You’re a bitter person because no one likes you. No one likes you because you make bad decisions. “Don’t force sex on kids” should be a no-brainer. Yeah, you can see how people call that rape, right?

      Here’s a tip, next time don’t bring it up. You aren’t normalizing it. You will not garner sympathy. I assume you were never prosecuted. Learn from your mistakes.
