>>3931992>We can't have full knowledge of anything, if full knowledge is required to make decisions then we should never make any decision and always let someone else decide for usBy "full knowledge," I meant knowing the "pros and cons" of making incredibly important decisions such as signing for a loan without knowing the total financial burden (in that case, an 18 year old not having any experience with borrowing, interest, or even debt should barely be considered "knowledgeable," let alone eligible for a loan they won't be able to pay back). But because we've reduced sex and sexuality to something unimportant, then it leads us to make severe, irrational decisions that could have life-changing consequences without even being aware of it.
>he doesn't seem to be harmed by his choices (that is, assuming his story is true, I think he made it all up personally).We only know what he tells us, and that one anecdote doesn't outweigh the amount of data we have on sexual trauma, child sexual abuse, etc. which shows just how horrific it is to experience it. From my own experience as an 8 year old when my grandfather tried to assault me - it does have a severe impact on one's sexuality and mental health to the point that I'm mentally (maybe even functionally) asexual.
>Not really. You can tell very obviously what is consensual and what isn’t. Saying something like this is shaming people for who they are and is exactly why people are afraid to do that. Which causes them to repress it and lead to far more significant problems later.Except you can't. When Nick Bate tried to groom his little cousin with reverse psychology tactics - had she acted on them - was that consensual? When Keffals/Lucas Roberts was on Discord talking to underage boys, convincing them they had gender dysphoria, and sold them DIY hormone replacement therapy - was that consensual? If you answer no to both, someone else will come along and say that it was consensual. That's what I'm talking about.
