    The Narcissists Prayer

    That didn't happen.
    And if it did, it wasn't that bad. <----- We are here
    And if it was, that's not a big deal.
    And if it is, that's not my fault.
    And if it was, I didn't mean it.
    And if I did, you deserved it.
    

    progress at last

    Here it begins. Republicans will want to normalize pedophilia.

    These people are sick. Saying this is public should earn a person an automatic 48 hour mental welfare hold.

    Hebephilia vs. pedophilia? That’s a defense I’ve seen before. Didn’t work for creepy Internet boyz. Let’s see if it works for the Republican party.

    “This is this person’s view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls,” she continued. “I’m just giving you facts that he wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.”

    “And that is what I believed and that is what I reliably was told for many years.”

    Kelly admitted that she began to change her opinion after Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that Epstein had thousands of videos with child sexual abuse material.

    “For the first time, I thought, oh, no, he was an actual pedophile,” the conservative host recalled.

    Megan “I was fine with him fucking teenagers” Kelly, everyone.

      How does this make any sense at all? How does one “pass as even younger” but still somehow “look legal to passersby”? Those are directly conflicting concepts.

    He’s a hebephile not a pedophile isn’t much of a defence. So he goes after 11+yo children instead of children less than 11yo? Also most people don’t know, or rightly care, about the age distinction - both are child abusers.

      Yeah. I’ve only ever seen the hebebebenebphile argument made by creepy pedophile motherfuckers. Nobody else wants to split hairs to defend this sort of behavior.

          Oh I agree. Pedophile, hebebebenebebphile, who cares. Pervert. Criminal. Abuser. Rapist. Those fit either category.

      No, it’s that he was a hebephile instead of a pedophile.

      There is a distinction between the two, they are both still fucking bad.

          No, I’m not — I was disgusted to hear Megan Kelly try to draw some kind of positive distinction between “barely legal types” and “children”.

          Personally I don’t consider the distinction between terms to be meaningful beyond human need to categorize. A 12 to 16 year old is still a fucking child, a 17 year old is still a child. There are plenty of arguments to make about whether 18 year olds are adults.

          That being said, nothing about my comment suggests that I support the message they’re trying to portray. Maybe read the entire comment before calling me a conservative next time, ok?

            the more they try to come up with new terminology to excuse it away, the more I just put them in the bucket labelled ‘kid fuckers’.

            It’s the same old defense heard from conservatives everywhere. He’s not a pedophile, he’s a hebephile. Whatever
