I've been thinking about this for a while... The majority of people in general, outside of forums and lolcows.
Every day I see hundreds of cases of common pedophilia splattered across the news. Everyone I look up to is slowly being torn down by pedophilia accusations. Pedophilia is slowly becoming normalized. "Non-offending" pedophiles have been sheltered on SEVERAL platforms.
Here is an article pitying them... This has become increasingly more popular for journalists to document.
I have witnessed many people IRL and online justify giant age gaps within relationships (ex. 14 y/o with a 20 y/o) The people justifying it tend to be underaged themselves. Is society attempting to groom the gullible and weak? I see a trope very common with media today as well, where a "cutesy manic pixie girl" has a "dominant daddy" and it attracts crowds upon crowds. A part of the problem may be from media where age gaps are romanticized.... ex: Tumblr "Teacher Crush Community" where girls go to giggle about their overaged science teachers and basically stalk and harass them. To contribute to the publicity of this problem, in public the other day I witnessed a couple (Age est. 16-19) with a girl dressed as a toddler and a collar/leash around her neck. Her boyfriend was wearing a suit. I wish I was joking.
Or am I just re-taw-ded and paranoid?
