All of you miss a point. You talk if its rape this rape that. The thing is that if its fucking right. Grown up man ( 19yo ) doin anything with 14 yo kid, that barely has gotten into puberty is sick. There is no need for it to be a name in a law to actually know that its disgusting.

Someone posted earlier that it's normal and nothin unnsual for 19 y.o to do sexy time with 14 year old kid. Man what the fuck. Where u guys were growing up. It's huge difference when u are still somewhat young, and 5 years is a HUGE difference. If Stephano was 29 and this girl 24, then ofc no problem. But this? You guys are fuckin sick.

Also now he is trying to turn this into a joke. U can clearly see that this wasnt a joke when u look on the chat and his friends reaction when he actually was serious.


I don't think that's sick. 14 year old girls are well into their puberty. Look at "Rebecca Black" for example.

It has less to do with puberty and much more to do with emotional/mental development. I do agree with the previous poster who states there are some incredibly mature 14/15/16 year olds (albeit rare) and some very undeveloped 20+ year olds, but the law has to draw a line somewhere.

Puberty is directly related to emotional and mental development. That's exactly my point.

Not a single person here is defending pedophilia. Don't confuse defending Stephano with defending pedophilia.


There are plenty of people in this thread defending it - I don't care about whether people think stephano deserved to be punished or not, I care about people trying to justify the actual act of raping children.

Being attracted to a teenager is not Pedophilia, it's Ephebophilia. It's considered a sexual preference, not a disease.


It's still rape, thanks for your contributions.


That's not true. Not all pedophiles are rapists. attraction =/= rape.


Also consensual sex =/= rape


Children cannot consent.



they can in some other countries and parts of the war. (13 in spain i beleive and even lower in other places)

its purely a law based thing and that law is based on the morals of the country. a child not being able to consent is because the law in this country protect them from that, but they are certainly able to consent to smoking/drinking even tho that is also illegal. how many of you have started smoking or drinking behind ur parents backs when you were in middle school? how many of u have had sex with other underage kids ur age in middle school?

ull be amazed at how many "children" do it all the time behind the backs of adults. so ya they can consent. if a 14 year old can consent to have sex with a 15 year old then its no different for that same 14 year old to do it with higher age groups as well. (of course the adult in that scenario has to know it is wrong and refuse)

i dont know about u guys and im not speaking for everyone, but when i was 13 and 14 i was a pretty horny dude and was sexually attracted to adults and my own age group at the time and id consent to sex in a heart beat given the opportunity. it never happened cuz i was a very shy nerd, but w/e

Only 2 generations ago women at that age were getting married, having kids and managing a household. Pretty sure my grandmother got married close to that age too.

Stop acting like Stephano made an IRL human centipede or something.

Only a while ago, black people were slaves and regarded as less human in America. Does this mean its ok to be a complete racist? People are still being prosecuted in the middle east because of religion, does this mean its total fine to go kill your neighbor cause he happens to be Jewish?

Sure, let's compare practices that devalue a certain group of humans over a certain characteristic, and a completely arbitrary number that every society sets that a girl may consent to sex.

Puberty is directly related to emotional and mental development. That's exactly my point.


Life experience is directly related to emotional and mental development too. Are you willing to argue that 14 year olds, on average, have enough life experience for sex with adults to be socially acceptable? I'm 23, so I'm older than Stephano by a few years but I volunteer at a high school and sometimes I feel like an old man in comparison to those kids. And I'm referring to the ones that are 16 and 17. An adult, especially a man having sex with a 14 year old girl, is emotional and physical abuse, period.

I assume that this was just a bad joke that Stephano didn't know would wind up on a stream. I don't blame him too much for that but I think EG is also right to distance themselves from that joke by punishing him. If there's any truth to it then Stephano deserves to have charges pressed by that girl's family, no doubt about it.

I think some of you are arguing that it's not sick because some 14 year olds look older than they are and so it wouldn't affect your attraction. That's fair enough, but it's not sick because it's literally disgusting, in the way that vomit or shit makes your stomach turn, etc. It's sick because it's immoral.

A relationship is not the same as equivalence. You're basically saying: "If there's grass on the pitch, let's play ball" (in a slightly more artful way). There are many post-pubescent kids who lack the requisite mental capacity to manifest consent, and some pre-pubescent kids who might possess said capacity... Moreover, I'd argue most kids in the throes of puberty (i.e. ages roughly 13-17) are in many ways incapacitated because of all the hormones in their systems. So, no, puberty is not a good way to establish consent.

In a perfect world, we would treat these stat. rape cases on a case-by-case basis and determine whether the minor could manifest consent, but it's not a perfect world. We don't have the time and resources to make such determinations. So, we draw an arbitrary line in the sand.

All of you miss a point. You talk if its rape this rape that. The thing is that if its fucking right. Grown up man ( 19yo ) doin anything with 14 yo kid, that barely has gotten into puberty is sick. There is no need for it to be a name in a law to actually know that its disgusting.

Someone posted earlier that it's normal and nothin unnsual for 19 y.o to do sexy time with 14 year old kid. Man what the fuck. Where u guys were growing up. It's huge difference when u are still somewhat young, and 5 years is a HUGE difference. If Stephano was 29 and this girl 24, then ofc no problem. But this? You guys are fuckin sick.

Also now he is trying to turn this into a joke. U can clearly see that this wasnt a joke when u look on the chat and his friends reaction when he actually was serious.


I don't think that's sick. 14 year old girls are well into their puberty. Look at "Rebecca Black" for example.

It has less to do with puberty and much more to do with emotional/mental development. I do agree with the previous poster who states there are some incredibly mature 14/15/16 year olds (albeit rare) and some very undeveloped 20+ year olds, but the law has to draw a line somewhere.


Puberty is directly related to emotional and mental development. That's exactly my point.


Life experience is directly related to emotional and mental development too. Are you willing to argue that 14 year olds, on average, have enough life experience for sex with adults to be socially acceptable? I'm 23, so I'm older than Stephano by a few years but I volunteer at a high school and sometimes I feel like an old man in comparison to those kids. And I'm referring to the ones that are 16 and 17. An adult, especially a man having sex with a 14 year old girl, is emotional and physical abuse, period.

I assume that this was just a bad joke that Stephano didn't know would wind up on a stream. I don't blame him too much for that but I think EG is also right to distance themselves from that joke by punishing him. If there's any truth to it then Stephano deserves to have charges pressed by that girl's family, no doubt about it.

I think some of you are arguing that it's not sick because some 14 year olds look older than they are and so it wouldn't affect your attraction. That's fair enough, but it's not sick because it's literally disgusting, in the way that vomit or shit makes your stomach turn, etc. It's sick because it's immoral.


I can not speak for others. So I will leave the "socially" out of it. But I think consensual sex with a 14 year old can be acceptable. Many girls lose their virginity at 14 or even younger. Often to a person who is much older. Are you arguing they are all abused without even wanting to consider their opinions on the matter?

I also don't get why you are saying "an adult, especially a man". Do people somehow suffer more emotional damage if they are abused by one specific gender?

A relationship is not the same as equivalence. You're basically saying: "If there's grass on the pitch, let's play ball" (in a slightly more artful way). There are many post-pubescent kids who lack the requisite mental capacity to manifest consent, and some pre-pubescent kids who might possess said capacity... Moreover, I'd argue most kids in the throes of puberty (i.e. ages roughly 13-17) are in many ways incapacitated because of all the hormones in their systems. So, no, puberty is not a good way to establish consent.

In a perfect world, we would treat these stat. rape cases on a case-by-case basis and determine whether the minor could manifest consent, but it's not a perfect world. We don't have the time and resources to make such determinations. So, we draw an arbitrary line in the sand.


I fail to see how hormones can not be a reason of consent.

Guys, we know as a fact that it was a JOKE.

It was inappropriate, so it was sanctioned.

no need for a 120 pages debate on the word abused from a french guy .

And yeah we all fucking agree : rape is bad, pedostuff is bad ... we got your point guys.

Waving your arms in the air yelling about a joke isn't gonna help your ladder points,plus you Americans need to practice to reach the Europeans level


We don't know as a fact it was a joke. Even if it was, suspension is very well deserved, defending him against suspension is silly, defending him against rape is justified. If it wasn't a joke ........



Both Bling and Stephano confirmed it was a private joke, And read my post again, you might find out that I am not defending anything just saying that the 120+ page debate on the subject is ridiculous.

Now I shall let you go on for hours about how bad rape is, this is a point that obviously needs to be made, we Europeans are totally unaware of such basic moral and should be reminded of it for another hundred pages...


Stop saying "Europeans" when you mean "French". Europeans are very different between each other and their morals. And even more: Such foul language from him is no wonder. Coming from an arab background, girls are trash for him, we know.
Furthermore, stop saying we can't discuss it here. TL was giving away beta keys for anybody, that has 500+ posts. So don't be silly, and contribute here!



1 point Godwin ! Congratz
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it
