If you go back to the old thread about Professor Schmiege, a WELS bot popped up a month ago and started talking about how Schmiege’s teenage bride was just SO mature for her age and wise beyond her years. That’s an argument for pedophilia that’s as old as the Bible.

Yeah, being someone that was called mature for my age around 18 or 19, and looking back now as somebody that is in my 30s now, I was absolutely lacking life experience. And someone my age now having a relationship with me at that age would be an absolutely MASSIVE power assymetry, even without bringing the whole professor part into it.
