Also how in the HELL does a six-year age gap compare to what has to be at least a twenty-six year one? If the age gap's enough of one for you to qualify as a guest on Jerry Springer, it's too much.

And your friend's girlfriend was 17 which is legal in most states. 14 ain't. Some fics have Danny legal, which is better, I guess (even if it, again, is OOC).

Actually if you're a 14 year old girl in South Carolina you are of legal age to have sex. http://www.coolnurse.com/consent.htm

So would it still be right for a forty year old man to have sex with a fourteen year old.

Say that out loud. "I think it's a-okay for a forty year old to sex up a high school girl or boy."

Say that at work. See what happens.

Or even better, go ask a fourteen year old if they would do a 40 year old man or woman.

My fourteen year old sister, for instance, is looking at this discussion over my shoulder and snickering in an intellectual fashion. Kind of a "heh heh, boy you're nuts."

I know it's fictional. It's still just a little creepy how much people defend it, especially when they're pulling out the RL laws.

I brought up the real life laws because it annoys me when people act as if there is only one constant age of cosent everywhere.

You appear to be one of those people who claim writing about something means you support it. Is this true?

Nope. It depends on how they write it.

Writing about a crime or something traumatic as if it's a crime or something traumatic: okay. The person's just writing about it.

Writing about a crime or something traumatic as if it's supposed to be sexy and not a crime or traumatic: no. Kinda gross. A little alarming.

Por exemplo, if someone writes a really chilling story about, say...rape in a fashion that acknowledges it's chilling, or does it from the bad guy's point of view but sort of make it apparent from their writing that they don't agree with the bad guy's point of view, they're just writing it to explore the bad guy's point of view, that's fine. You can tell, if it's a good writer, that they're just writing a really good, really sinister bad guy.

What freaks me out, really, is when some people will write about about stuff like that, and in author's notes or summaries or if you talk to them or something, their attitude is "Isn't this cute? Isn't it sexy?"

Uh, no. Dude. It's one thing to get into the villain's head or something. It's another to think it's sexy or hot or whatever when they do horrible things to people. And I don't mean like in the fun kinky way, like they're hurting a consenting partner, I mean how there are some people that say that they think it's hot for the bad guy to actually hurt someone.

That's when I want the people to get the fuck away from me.

It is more often on the Anti side, which makes me desperately afraid to dip my toes into the water.

Meanwhile, the self-righteous "Let's go out and crucify 'em" crap is why I stay away from the other side.

So I don't think it's just writing about it--I think it's creepy when a person gets turned on by the idea of violence. Not like bondage and whips and all that kind of violence that can actually be fun, I mean, like nonconsensual violence. No safe words. "Ooh, it's so hot, he's getting assraped and beaten even though he doesn't want to be." "I'm going to draw her bruised and bleeding and crying with her clothes off. That's hot."

With cartoon characters. o_< In a kid-targeted cartoon (because with some animes and stuff, the original canon has that kind of stuff in them so it'd make more sense in the fic).

It just doesn't jive with me.

And even then, crazy and creepy sexual fantasies that might not fit the mainstream are okay.

...It's just a little weird to see them expressed in fics about cartoons for the 7-14 set, with mostly under-age characters.

Like I said, it's not EVERYBODY, but it's not exactly like I'd like to be associated with some of those people. Hence a lack of involvement, since I'm not a bitch and I'm not going to demand people change for me. I'm just going to sit in my corner and occasionally stare.

Truth be told, I am actually more freaked by the Truie side, because every single one of them I've talked to is completely batshit crazy, but there are still a few authors and artists here and there on the Anti side that freak me out a little. Not because of what they portray, but how.

[nods] Alright, understood.
