      This story reads straight out of the "Letters to Penthouse" section if you bumped the kid's age up over the legal line. I suspect quite a few people won't see the problem or even be outright envious.

    I see shit like this, and in this day and age, I can never decide whether to feel bad for the husband, or if he was in on it.

      If it isn't inherited pathology, a lot of the appeal to kiddie creepers is in taking advantage of people so young and impressionable that they can't effectively refuse them. And for some the cruelty to children is the point. epsteingelion

    I'm past the point of calling this "projection" or whatever. I think most of these fuckers are actually consciously evil now. Like they are 100% self aware and internally honest about how they're just doing this Q crap to misdirect from their own perversions and strip sex Ed so they can get away with it easier.

      I don't quite think so. They know what they are doing is wrong, but they justify it with "My enemies do worse things, so comparatively I'm still the good guy." That's why qanon is so successful, and conspiracy theories in general with people like this. An invisible, imaginary enemy will always be morally worse than them, no matter how disgusting their behaviour gets.

      I think it's more that reactionaries have an outsized belief in how good they personally are. Because they are so certain they're a good person, what they're doing can't be bad even when they'd demonize someone else for it. This belief is reinforced in all the classic stick-up-your-ass conservative institutions: they go to church so they're godly, they back the blue so they aren't some criminal, they put their head down and grind at work so they deserve whatever they can get their hands on. It's individualized exceptionalism.

        Nah, I'm convinced when they're alone they literally cackle "Ha ha ha! I am doing this for power and treats! I know this is fucked up but don't care cuz I'm literally Lord Freeza!"

    Literally a walking racial caricature of a white person. How TF do you fit the stereotype so perfectly?

    Maybe it’s just the coffee hittin different this morning or that this post was underneath the goblin titty post but my take away here is that our stereotype of molesters and rapists being unattractive social outcasts who have to turn to a coercive dynamic to get human interaction is just dead wrong.

    What even causes people to behave like this?

      I think they feel like anyone equal to them is too threatening. Its like with the epstein express. All these billionaires who could be fucking supermodels instead are getting with 13 year olds. Because of their money they get whatever they want from anyone without considering anyone but themselves. They become used to it. And anything else starts to feel threatening and unauthentic.

      Being in an intimate setting with someone is an intense experience. Sex often times feels more real than the rest of life. Our insecurities and subconscious whatevers love to come out. Experiencing all of that with an equally developed person is intimidating and difficult. Some people just aren't up to the challenge. All they want to consider is what they want, so they seek out the vulnerable people they can take from.

      Take a conservative whose entire ideology hinges on their right to take what they want from people who are beneath them. The idea that they can't have whatever they can take is threatening. I think from this angle it feels a lot less surprising. This is a pretty white conservative woman who is used to getting whatever they want. That will turn them into a threat to others over time.
