      oh yeah it’s so much better to demonize an almost totally unrelated population who typically don’t even commit sex crimes. It’s way better to stigmatize a medical condition that people had no control over, no matter how they actually behave. You sure nipped that problem in the bud, UH-HUH!

      Just fucking say child molester. Actual pedophiles are no more likely to commit sex crimes than the general population are.

    I was wondering why he would say that unless he was running for murican goverment. Seems like Age of consent is 16 in Britian so he feels he did nothing legally wrong.

      Was it? Statutory age varies across the world.

      Even if legal, it’s creepy as fuck all, but that is still different from statutory

      Edit: the article quotes him as saying that’s the age in England, implying that’s where it occurred. So, creepy as fuck all, but the wrong terminology.

      You literally made it technically incorrect. The worst kind of incorrect.
