Posted on r/dirtypenpals as a prompt for horny texting i suppose.
An American that should be on a list for wanting to marry a 4'11 barely legal high school kid.
:cringe: I think still in highschool counts as barely but whatever
I mean, they are right in a sense, in most places in Europe age of consent is less than 18. Here it is 15. In the US 18 is barely legal, but it makes sense why they would be confused.
Fun fact, it used to be 17 for sex between men and 15 for everyone else, but it changed a couple years ago and it is 15 for everyone now.
I mean, two years over is still pretty close to being underage.
Ehhh 2 years is not a little. You wouldn't call a 20 year old barely legal in the US.
Either way, whichever way the law is doesn't make it more or less creepy.
STAY WHERE YOU ARE THIS IS THE VOLCEL POLICE
Nobody is fucking today, not on our watch. Now lets take you down to the station before you make this worse for yourself
Thank you for calling this in, we should have control of the situation
Imagine thinking a war with China would last more than two weeks.*
*endless occupation not included
What do you mean? I totally believe that an 18 year old Chinese non native English speaker would have perfect grammar and measure her height and weight in imperial rather than metric.
would have perfect grammar
That's not an indicator. Most people in many countries learn English at school and some are very proficient.
The height and weight thing though, definitely lol no one would do that.
Except me who has gotten brainworms from being online all this time and i know im 5'11 and 150-160 lbs
It kind of is an indicator.
I'm not saying that esol people can't learn to type like native speakers, but in my experience the vast majority of Chinese esol speakers bring over certain idiosyncrasies unless they were fully immersed in English at a young age (which basically making them native speakers).
There are many, many, Chinese people who speak English with great proficiency. But the amount who are 18, haven't received overseas education/immersion (went to HS in China) and indistinguishable from native speakers online is pretty small.

Everyone does. But it won't necessarily be apparent from such a short post. For instance I am not a native English speaker, and I have never received overseas education. Do you think you could figure it out from this post alone?
The post isn't supposed to be written by an 18 year old. It's basically role play. Remember that it's set in 2025. They're not pretending they really are an 18 year old Chinese high school student. I was just saying that a short post having good grammar isn't really a great indicator.
That got deleted but holy shit the second top post rn is “My throat is my son’s fleshlight.” Fuckkkkkkkkkk
Please don’t go there. How is this place even a real thing?
Next one I read “Free ass = Free Rent” 1 of 8 rules “by living here a girl consents to sex all the time with everyone else living here.”
:shrug: ppl get horny to what they get horny to. Unfortunately "people" means your average male white american. :mao-shining:
that last one sounds like a craigslist ad for an apartment that was constantly up in my city for years, looking for a roomate female only under 18 no rent in exchange for "services". Always wanted to answer the ad, go meet the guy & just ______________
Trust me that’s not just one. Go to any major city. They’re everywhere all the time. But this one is on another level. Where they remove your consent by living there. Disgusting.
Well that's a sentence that'll live in my brain for gods know how long, thank you for that
18 years old, in 2025. At best it's asking the reader to fantasise about waiting for a current 13 year old to age up, just a whole lot of nope going on here.
I mean?? Kinda? If it were to say "its the year 2070 and im a 60 year old trans-humanist grandma" i wouldnt say that.
Although yea 4'11 and 90 lbs? Shut up pedo
Yeah, there's several clues that it's a creeper, but "near-future barely-legal" is a gigantic klaxon for me. Ick, incredibly gross.
It's an op and Xiaohua is going make whatever reddit dork replies to this dig his own grave with a framed picture of Mao before she buries him alive.
Ewwhy would a picture of mao touch the dirt of this guy's grave.
What compels people to even think this, let alone decide to share with the world?
It's one of these things that is not technically pedophilia but it obviously signals it, dancing around actually saying it so that it doesn't get banned or so that they don't feel like they are doing pedophilia. You've got the very small height and weight, being 18 (the age of consent in the US) and emphasising how they are right out of high school, the virginity aspect etc. It's 100% disguised pedophilia.
Normally I don't go for things that stretch the definition of pedophile, IE I hate when people start morally judging age gap relationships where both partners are consenting adults by every definition (by which I mean 18+, I'm not including people 17 or younger even if the age of consent in that place allows it, I feel like I need to be specific here lol), but yeah this person is really really obviously intentionally skirting the line so the post doesn't get removed. The height and weight, the barely legal and "jailbait wait" aspect, the "would be still in highschool" thing. All combine to an obvious attempt to skirt the line and basically create a pedophilia scenario without actually saying it.
by which I mean 18+, I’m not including people 17 or younger even if the age of consent in that place allows it, I feel like I need to be specific here lol
But why? I mean, there isn't anything fundamentally important about 18. It can still be creepy above 18 and it can be not creepy below 18. Like, if some 40 year old is dating an 18 year old, that's creepy. If a 20 year old is dating a 16 year old, eh, not so much.
If a 20 year old is dating a 16 year old, eh, not so much.
I basically agree with this. I'd probably advise you start being cautious about people under 18 starting at 20 but I wouldn't automatically object.
if some 40 year old is dating an 18 year old, that’s creepy.
This is what I have a problem with. I dont think it inherently is. If she like, just turned 18, is still in highschool, the 40 was the pursuer and like, actively seeks out 18 year olds and shit, sure, thats creepy (not pedophilia though, just creepy). Also age gaps have the potential for power dynamics to develop, but I don't think thats inherently the case. It can be avoided with caution, patience, ect. Yes, I agree 18 isn't a magical line in the sand, but its the best standard we've developed so far and I've never been able to think of a better one. Obviously we have to allow for close in age pairs, but we also need to at some point acknowledge that a person is an adult who can consent to a relationship with an older partner if thats their preference. I just don't see age gaps as inherently creepy if both people are adults.
To be clear, I'm about to be 32 and my only partner just turned 20. It pursued me, I wasn't actively looking for a younger partner and do not fetishize its age. Its just the relationship that ended up developing. Some people would judge that harshly though, and I hate that. It takes away my partner's agency as a consenting adult. Most people justify that judgement with the "different life stage" argument. But like in 2020 a 30 year old millennial is quiet often NOT in a different life stage than a 20 year old lol. I certainly don't feel my life has materially developed much since I was 20. I'm disabled, and developmentally delayed. I don't have a career (or even a job), or a family. I kind of have my own place, but not really because its a subsidized apartment I get through disability services. Besides, "different life stage" only really applies in a romantic relationship, it has no relevance if the relationship is just sex, or friends with benefits. There are just a ton of holes in the argument basically. People basically just apply their own personal squick and come up with moral justifications for it.
Yes, I agree 18 isn’t a magical line in the sand, but its the best standard we’ve developed so far
According to Americans. Other countries don't share the same view and honestly I believe people think whatever line they're accustomed to is the best. When people say that the age of consent somewhere is 15 it doesn't necessarily mean people are having sex with 15 year olds like there's no tomorrow without punishment. It means that having sex with someone above 15 isn't INHERENTLY punishable but it can very easily turn that way because for these ages laws around power dynamics, abuse and coercion are especially strict.
That may be true, but I'm fairly confident in my position that a 15 year old is definitively a child. I don't think a person much older than that can have any kind of non-platonic relationship with them and have it not be predatory. I'm fairly confident in saying that the age of consent should be higher, even if 18 isn't actually the best one. I was under the impression that drawing the line at 18 is based on developmental psychology, but I could be mislead on that.
Anyway, what I am definitely confident in is drawing my own moral line at 18 (actually if I had a tinder Id set my lower age bar at 21). There's a 17 year old in a discord server I'm in that relentlessly flirts with me but I'm rebuffing her because of that line. Also when I was in my mid twenties and on tumblr I DIDNT follow that line and got in serious trouble getting called out for it publicly. As an autistic person, I need some sort of standard for behavior.
Well, it's good for the respondents to volunteer themselves straight onto the re-education camp lists I guess.
what the fuck
WHAT THE FUCK
this shit lmao what the fuck, i can't get over the derangement that goes into pretending to be thissss----ahhhhhh
