I’m not correcting you, specifically, but... would everyone stop calling it a soundtrack? It’s an original cast recording. It isn’t a film soundtrack. Cast. Recording.

‘American juice’. Thank you closed-captioned typist for the fine work.

Even more out of line was the fact they let the guy in when his press credentials said “Internet Commenter.”

All the more power to him considering that the next president of the United States considers that position to be “alarmingly anti-semitic.”

Man, that guy in the back who stood up and yelled, “STICK TO SPORTS!” was out of line.

You don’t know shit about Muhammad Ali.

The only one of those sources that is even close to a real news outlet is The Telegraph and they’re Britain’s equivalent of, well, not quite Fox News since that’s the Daily Mail, but damn close. It’s sensationalist nonsense. The Tab is called that because it’s short for ‘tabloid.’ One of their top stories right now is…

Ugh don’t read his statement. He blames it on lack of confidence with women

None of that will make it legal, as you suggest. The conference was discussing how to classify it as a mental illness, which is the opposite of normalizing it. Two attendees (including one admitted pedophile who isn’t even an academic) took the extreme outlier view that it’s a normal urge.

It won’t be. It’s becoming recognized by academics as a compulsion and mental disorder rather than just as a character flaw, but since children can’t meaningfully consent engaging in it won’t be legal in 25 years.

This baffles me. It’s so incredibly gross and it’s probably what the person who sexually assaulted me when I was 14 would say, too. Except he was a peer, he made me trust him and then abused me and nothing was done.

My husband was a total spaz as a youngster (his assumption about those years) and honestly had very…

I’m talking about Yewtree.

“A bunch of people”

I think you’re confusing “normalised” with “able to receive treatment”. It’s a sickness. The goal is for the mental health community to accept pedophilia for what it is - a mental disorder. Those who act out on their thoughts should definitely be punished to the full extent of the law. But those who desperately want…

Any sources for that wild claim?

It’s really not possible. This isn’t ancient Greece. Britain just had a huge scandal where a bunch of people in the media were found to have groomed children and raped them and people are very glad the ones still alive are in prison.

No. No academics are pushing for the normalization of pedophilia, not in Great Britain, not anywhere else. And I say this as a #KrautforBrexit.

Not if paedophilia is normalised by then. Academics are pushing for it in England and others elsewhere too. It’s possible. And abhorrent.

‘Academics’? What?

Don’t be silly.
