right-winger posts some obscene post.

left-winger replies with a “gotcha” style of reply, disregarding anything else.

Both continue to use the same platform.

Now I believe they where talking about this: https://lemmy.today/comment/23688619

But I do understand where you’re coming from in this case.

This historical data does not reflect current trends.

I think reading this last line would’ve been helpful here.

Just because it has decreased doesn’t mean that rape and sexual assaults don’t happen to teenagers and children anymore.

Yet again, you’re missing the point. This conclusion was already stated by countless of oppositions to your argument.

The main point is the fact that your research is invalid to explain the status quo - its the logic thats the problem not that “rape has somehow evaporated from existence”.

What kind of logic is that, of course it does exist - its just that your data has the capacity to be severely incorrect. The only one playing pretend is you, because this whole thing is about your original analysis not playing pretend that it “doesnt” exist.

I’m having a hard time understanding who are you trying to disprove with this statement:

Also adult men having sex with underage girls IS rape.

I dont think OP even mentioned justifying rape. So what purpose do these straw men serve you?

It’s reasonable to say that it was bleak. It is not reasonable to say that it is bleak. This historical data does not reflect current trends.

Thats the conclusion which should’ve been included within op’s statement. Honestly such an outdated statistic is a poor indication of the status quo - because it isn’t the status quo. OP may imply various repeated statements however it doesn’t magically supplement the facts and statistics which exist today.

Within the research scene, OPs statement would be framed as misinformation due to its age - this factor alone is responsible here, so there is no room in twisting the logic here.

I don’t care for this pedantic, know-it-all type of debates on these topics. We’re talking about pregnant 12 year olds.

Then why even attempt to supply evidence to the debate if you’re going to dismiss critiques of it later?

This is the point of research, and the thing is the ‘know-it-all’ type of debate ais all a result from your original statement. This isn’t about 12 year olds but the inherent logic within arguments.

This doesn’t necessarily make it appear as a disclaimer, but rather a reference. The premise doesn’t state that this may or may not be outdated - it gives the impression that it is the truth, despite the year.

I do suggest you add a disclaimer that your research may be slightly outdated. This of course, doesn’t invalidate it; however, clarity is important here as this can be on the verge of misinformation.

I do respect that this problem has been addressed, so well done.

I agree. OP is greatly over generalizing the situation here. But as the other commenter said (even if the evidence is on the older less reliable side): the majority of cases are of older adults raping 12 year olds.

The composition fallacy doesn’t necessarily make the statement invalid, as considering the aim of the first person, that aim directly corresponds to the conclusion of second person and has a link with the supplied evidence.

That is one hell of a strawman you got there.

Piracy in general shouldn’t be equated to theft.

You wouldnt download a car.

Don’t worry, if it all goes as planned it will even have a gender or even race verification; for your protection.

Its actually hurtful to watch the strong opposition to cirumcision involving girls yet barely any opposition involving boys. It looks like another take on sexism and like one commenter said, it makes it more difficult for trans people.

Circumcision for both genders should only be a medical decision, not a thing you or your parents decide just because.

EU always had its share of fascists. Now that children protection laws have failed, they are going after another thing not up to their liking.

Not only is this detrimental to future vegans and vegetarians, but it also makes the vegan foods look borderline unapealing to the general populations.

Even if they only targeted the plebs, it will completely tank the economy. One of the problems is that they will singlehandedly reduce the capacity of techies and engineers within this country.

New technical people will be hard to come by as there is no means/tools to pursue that passion, other than spending heaps of money.

It absolutely makes no sense that a bunch of corpos can do whatever the hell they like all while the common folk are forced to pay for their stupidity.

The electricity is one example. Bullshit like this which is completely useless shouldn’t be a thing - All it does is severely impact the general populace all while the borguoise is blinded by false narratives whilst living beside their fat stacks of cash.

Around 6 is the golden number. That’s when people decide to quit.
