>>94587I think the current outrage against consenting adults in "age gap" relationships being pedophilia is part of a slow creep toward demonizing all sex. That particular thing started with the #metoo movement and liberals deciding that sex between people of different ages had a "power gap" and is therefore amoral. The next logical conclusion to draw is that sex between a man and a woman has a similar power gap, and is thus "pedophilia".
It's absolutely absurd and does nothing but trivialize real sex abuse, and it is barely even the tip of the iceburg when it comes to the absurd moral panic around pedos. But, it's such a taboo thing that you can't even talk about it, which is why they get away with it. Calling someone a pedo is like a magical spell that makes them untouchable.
