Megan Kelly follows the "if you're old enough to bleed, you're old enough to breed" playbook.
It's only paedophilia if it comes from the pedophile region of Alabama. Otherwise it's just sparkling ephebophilia.
Lookit that, ephebophile strat went mainstream.
I got banned from reddit for commenting "woodchipper" on this article next to posts openly supporting violence against young girls. Pretty cool platform to be thrown out of.
Regardless of whether or not he was a pedophile, we should not be using that medical term the way we do. Most pedophiles don't molest children. Most child molesters aren't pedophiles. Sexual assault isn't about sexual attraction and being sexually attracted to someone doesn't make you a predator.
Eh. Mostly right. Given that pedophilia is, by definition, sexual attraction to prepubescent children, and given that any sexual contact with a prepubescent child is sexual assault, a pedophile sexually assaulting a child is probably about sexual attraction. But not necessarily.
But yeah, most child molesters aren't pedophiles per se, but are assaulting children because they're vulnerable. I don't think that we can make any absolute claims about most pedos not assaulting children, simply because we don't have a good grasp on how many people are pedos. I've heard that up to 25% of men (!!!) might have some level of sexual attraction to children, which is disturbing as fuck. (And no, I couldn't give you a citation for that, I'm sorry. Just a weird claim that stuck in my head.)
so… if they releases the files and we know who will be there… you know what will be the excuse…
There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?
She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.
There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?
"There really is, one is annoying and one is hot". -Trump, probably
More like "I'll be dating her in 5 years, and her in 15."

Megan Kelly has a 15 year old daughter, someone should call CPS and look into this poor kid if her mom thinks a grown man grooming her isnt a bad thing
Yeah, that seems on brand
Yes, it's technically Hebephilia or Ephebophilia. That doesn't change the level of disdain.
Yes, it’s technically
Exactly the same if I started to call driving with a blood alcohol level between 0.8% and 25% "happy fun time driving" and pretended that means it's no longer the same as DUI...
People can make up all the terms they want, don't change the law tho.
You're off by an order of magnitude in these percentages.
In most places, it is legal to drive with a blood alcohol content between 0.025% and 0.08%.
Over 0.08% is a DUI.
Over 0.8% is death.
25%... you'd indeed need a thanatologist to get there.
technically Hebephilia or Ephebophilia
You've been made mod of r/Libertarian
That doesn't change the level of disdain.
You've been removed as mod for r/Libertarian
Holy shit they're actually doing the hebophile bit
Yeah, but it's impossible to explain without sounding like a pedophile....
Look at those goalposts go!
It is so predictable that conservatives would end up in "Pedophilia isn't that bad" once it became undeniable that Great Leader raped little girls.
funny that QAnon stuff circled around Dems having pedo-leanings and that was an OUTRAGE yet now it turns out to be OK, Humane even... wtf? Their morals exist only to stick it to anyone opposing them and they evaporate the second one of their own is caught doing exact thing
He's not a Pedophile unless he comes from the Pedo region of Epstein Island, otherwise he's just sparkling child molester.
I'm pretty sure they named the pedo region of Epstein island after him
Im sorry, is this a conversation about the degree to which he is a pedophile?
This is one of the wildest most disgusting goal post moves I've ever heard
What are they even defending here. Even if they were 18 year old trafficked women it would be heinous.
It’s not like he was dating young girls or some shit, this is about sex crimes of which their age is only one of the awful awful factors.
When you start making defenses that involve distinguishing between pedophilia and hebephilia you lost a long time ago.
Getting out in front of the Epstein release I see.
Law enforcement baits out pedos to arrest using fake 16 year olds all day long. They can't spin this.
Here it begins. Republicans will want to normalize pedophilia.
These people are sick. Saying this is public should earn a person an automatic 48 hour mental welfare hold.
"This is this person's view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls," she continued. "I'm just giving you facts that he wasn't into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby."
"And that is what I believed and that is what I reliably was told for many years."
Kelly admitted that she began to change her opinion after Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that Epstein had thousands of videos with child sexual abuse material.
"For the first time, I thought, oh, no, he was an actual pedophile," the conservative host recalled.
Megan "I was fine with him fucking teenagers" Kelly, everyone.
goddamn this fucking talking point is spreading. Just yesterday I was watching a video where some maga piece of shit was questioning a streamer about why he thinks its wrong that adults rape 13 year olds. Pretty soon we're going to have absolutely no choice except physical violence.

She has a 14 year old daughter
If you tell someone not to fuck kids and their response is "actually 15 year olds aren't kids" then that person is a pedo.
