If I told you, “Gary’s fucking a teenager,” I’m guessing you wouldn’t assume that teenager was over 18 and would be thinking maybe the authorities should be contacted.
Sorry… you would “absolutely” assume that if I told you that “Gary [i.e. someone we both know on a first-name basis] is fucking a teenager” that the person was of legal age because of a porn category?
Because I’m pretty sure we don’t mutually know a porn star named Gary.
This also makes me worried about your feelings on incest.
Wow wtf is that kind of strawman? Do you not see the basic correlation between “fucking a teenager” and “fucking a teenager in porn”? porn has normalized that fucking a teenager is 18
We all get it, the type of porn you watch is still legal even though it has teen in the name.
This is regarding a legal matter where the man’s sentence will likely be decided by the fact that the court sees him as an adult. In most cases and as the other user pointed out 18 year olds are referred to as men in a legal context. This disturbingly seems to be the standard practice when describing black males of 18.
Generally speaking, describing alleged criminals as teens implies a lack of legal agency and thus biases the reader toward compassion. The point is that sometimes language can induce bias and consistency is needed. If that consistency falls towards the technicality of having the word teen in their name so be it, but that is not the case with our current media landscape.
That does not matter, by law, he is an adult. The term “teen” is used when under 18 in the news. This is clear bias because of his race.
EighTEEN. He’s a fucking teenager get over it you fucking weirdo
Literally just repeating the originally argument instead of responding to the responses. Go fuck yourself.
Gee I wonder why you’re getting downvoted. Your ideas are perfectly neutral /s
It’s not their fault they were born with an understanding of nuance that was two sizes too small

I absolutely would. Do you watch porn? There’s a whole “teen” category
And quite a few of those ‘teens’ are well over twenty.
Or so I was told.

Yes, the same correlation between “fucking his daughter” and “fucking his daughter in porn.” When you hear Gary’s doing it, you call the fucking cops.
Most people are able to distinguish what they see on a screen from reality.
Why are you even talking about incest? What’s your obsession with fucking your daughter?
This is you, correct?
What is another porn category? I’ll give you a hint, it starts with an I.
