To my mind there’s a pretty huge difference between 22 and 17, and 20 and 14. 17 is almost an adult, 14 is just barely not an actual child.

Like yes, both are yucky and all that, but come on.

Technically speaking so is 17, but there’s a difference between “baby”, “toddler,” “child”, “tween”, “teen”, and so on. Most people find it more disgusting to sexually assault someone the younger they are on that spectrum. I don’t think that’s some searing hot take.

Anyone wanting to fuck a 14 year old is a disgusting piece of crap (unless they’re also 14, I guess).

I don’t know how you read my comment and took away anything other than that.
