If your daughter turned 18 and that happened, you would still be pissed though, right? So it’s not really about the age but about the age difference.
Nobody is saying it is the greatest but people think pedophiles should be rounded up and executed. I even think non-offending pedophiles should be executed by the state. Like if there was a way to scientifically identify a pedophile gene, I think we could probably treat pedophiles the way rabid dogs are treated. If a dog get rabies but hasn’t yet bitten anyone, we don’t say, “Oh, give the rabid dog a chance to do the right thing! Who knows, it might be able to control itself!” Nah, the dog is rabid so the dog gets put down.
Then you have a multimillionaire Hollywood celebrity like Jerry Seinfeld who starts dating a 17-year-old, they get married, and they are still together. Now it’s entirely possible Seinfeld is part of the cabal and rapes children, but assume for now it was just this one 17-year-old who he met, courted, and has now been married to for - what? - 20 years now? 30 years? Even with all the righteous anger you feel, could you really walk into Jerry Seinfeld’s mansion right now, force him to his knees, put a gun to his head, and blow his brains out in front of his wife of 30 years because he started dating her at 17? Like would you honestly feel like a good, moral person as you did that? Because I would not be able to do that.
