Edit: being "fair" to these people because of a friendship is always how they get away with it

I've seen it happen, came to terms with my role in it so now I'm no longer giving creepy ****s that inch.

You don't think there's a worthwhile difference?

And what do you mean by that last part? Your role in what?

Lucem why do you support pedophilia?

he was being extra af but in general I find conversing with 14 year olds online to be a questionable behavior. I think they should find other retarded 14 year olds to fraternize with, cause I don't have **** to say to them.

It's funny/creepy when I think back to when I was a teenager with AOL and **** and how willing adults were to talk to me. How the **** is it appropriate online when it would be weird af irl?

Well duh, because they're people too, and maybe they want to talk to older folks, and as long as you keep it to music recs and maybe movies or TV or whatever, I reckon that's fine. I thought Eleanor was great; for a 14 (now 15)-year old you'd never have known she was so young, the way she spoke. It was only OH who started making it all "daddys little girl" and then it got creepy. You shouldn't be afraid/unwilling to talk to someone just because they're forty years younger than you, or whatever. You're the adult (supposed to be anyway) and should know what's acceptable and what isn't.

I didn't see what was so ****ing great about her. Just a bunch of adults clamoring to groom a child into liking the fall or whatever. Not quite as bad as sexual grooming I suppose, but still weird.

Trollheart would probably say that's nearly as bad.

Seriously man, can you not get away from the grooming ****? Not every interaction between an older person and a younger has to be seen as grooming. All most of us wanted to do was open a young mind to the music we loved, and hope she loved it too. There's nothing wrong with that.

Are you seriously telling me that if a child came up to you you would walk away? Is it that you hate children, or are you so terrified of someone thinking the wrong thing that you won't take the risk? Don't you think children should be able to approach adults and vice versa without there being an immediate suspicion of sexually inappropriate motives? You wouldn't like to share your experience of music, politics, literature, whatever, with a younger person in the hope of enhancing their life a little? You'd be too scared, or just wouldn't care?

Hanging offence, that.

Let's not forget, Eleanor made a thread asking for help. It's not like one of us cornered her and started throwing unsolicited advice her way. What should we have done? Ignored her? Told her she was too young and we couldn't speak to her? For ****'s sake.

like if there is a reason for us to be interacting like maybe I'm friends with the parent or its a relative or something that's one thing... but I can't think of any irl scenarios where I'm just shooting the **** with random ****ing 14 year olds.. can you?

all introduction threads should be ignored. Especially those made by children.

Okay, so this thread took a really weird turn.

I'm sure collectively finding out what's acceptable behaviour when communicating with 14 year olds is riveting, but that's an age group we're not targetting or have any members from and it seems a little off-topic. Perhaps a moderator could move/split that discussion to its own thread?

I'd rather talk about how we have a neat little film club going.
