Social Greta Thunberg Megathread

[MVelsor]

Is 16 really crazy low? That seems right to me. I'm surprised it's 18 in some of those states. Utah? I guess they are overcompensating. I do remember growing up that it was 14 in Hawaii until some time in the early 2000s I believe. That did seem low. And mind you, that was entirely due to Native Hawaiians wishing it to remain that low. I guess because traditionally they married younger.

A lot of states also have laws that legally allow you have to sex with someone that's like 3 years older or younger starting at 14 until 17 or whatever. Basically acknowledging that teens are going to have sex. The age of consent is about protecting younger people from older sexual predators.

I was mostly referring to all the 14s on the Euro map. No, it isn't from the standpoint of sexual maturity and that's the basis. It just feels really sketchy on both a psychological and (presumably) socioeconomic standing front as the gap in age disparity grows.

I have been corrected in the past about this not being

is by definition prepubescent. Adolescents aren't.

Why does there need to be a backstory to a black and white line drawing? Do you need backstories for "I love NY" shirts with a heart instead of the word? Here's a real question. When you see a pic or gif on here of cleavage or some chick in yoga pants, are you thinking about raping the girl in it, or wine and dining her? According to you, those are the only 2 choices.

It's an illustrated version of saying "fuck Greta" as an unsolicited advertisement for the thing she protests. I personally found it tasteless and not especially clever, but apparently it was at least clever enough to fly over the heads of everyone here. Not sure how much thought or backstory you really need to give it.

"tasteless"...nice. It's suggesting fucking an unwilling participant who is a teenage girl...by people who absolutely despise her.

We probably care that it exists the same (not at all), I just ironically enjoy the sort of skirting defenses of it "well, I don't like it cause I'm a decent guy, but it's not rapey, it's just a drawing made by people who hate Greta suggesting they'd fuck her without her consent, what's the big deal libs?"...

Maybe so, but I know there were plenty of kids at my middle school having sex at younger than 14. I think people are in denial or ignorant about that. It's not uncommon for sure.

this seems...abnormal.

Go on...

Not defending this at all, it's crass and disgusting af but why is everyone talking about rape? It's literally fuck Greta sticker.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Let's just get down to it...

Who's getting the sticker?

Oh, so now it's a "consensual" sticker...

If you are calling people philes over this, or saying they are now on a watchlist, then you are having a meltdown.

Screaming ‘child rape’ is a meltdown

Unless a child is being raped, in which case it is likely someone observing a lefty.

Ah so you're one of those people that get emotionally invested and heated in debates so you assume everyone gets as riled up and angry as yourself.

Sorry that having an opinion opposite yours = meltdown.

The image depicting a child in a sexual act is pretty gross. Sorry if you enjoy it.

No, it's a fuck Greta in the most crass way possible. I'm not seeing where this is about rape. I'm really not.

No?

Clear case of sticker rape.

Way to completely ignore the questions I asked you in the last post.

Because it flew over your head. Imagine getting outraged by a joke you didn't even get, and you've had invent an entire story, entirely in your head, about whether a cartoon was a willing participant for sex or if they went on a date. That is some legit mental illness shit.

Feel free to quote your outrage posts from the threads about depictions of murdering Trump. Why is fantasizing about shooting, decapitating the president and blowing up the whitehouse, NYT printing a fantasy story about assassination all just harmless free expression, yet you can't even wrap your head around someone saying "fuck Greta"?

What exactly do you think should be done to the guy who made a cartoon saying "fuck Greta"? Should he be executed or just imprisoned? Maybe blow up his house or decapitate him?

Defo, I was already busy at 12.

It's natural, not normal.

Be careful with those political compass results.

We should probably ask the cartoon character if it consented to the emblem having sex with it.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

did she consent to the sticker?

No?

Clear case of sticker rape.

LOL
Where's Whoopi to tell us what rape-rape is?

No.
No, I’m not worked up.
I just came back from fixing a headlight in my car, I grabbed a beer, watched a Big Lebowski clip, and now I’m here again.

A seventeen year old isn’t a child.

You could let this ad hang itself, but instead you get emotional and go overboard, causing people to say, “hey, hang on..... it isn’t rape”

You guys never learn.

 

[Ultra O’Dia]

Clear case of sticker rape.

You are being funny, and it’s STILL more sensible than the lefties on here, who are serious.

There is, without doubt, more of an argument for ‘sticker rape’ than there is for this being an actual rape depiction.

 

[weed]

that looks like my kitchen wtf

 

[bref]

According to some it’s as graphic as a 11 year old boy dancing for dollars...

Don't drag me into your deflecting bullshit, please.

She's lurking in the Heavyweights...
