I Hate The Pendulum Of 'its Either You Support It Or You Oppose It' - Tumblr Posts

i like to think there is a big difference between saying something inappropriate on occasion because you weren't thinking and actively and deliberately making it your goal to groom someone - one is a unfortunate mistake and the other is continued malicious actions

Again; the anon provided absolutely no context or information to what actually transpired. I never accused them of intentionally grooming someone but likewise I'm not about to dismiss or immediately support whatever they did do. Because again; I have absolutely no knowledge of what happened.

Likewise; there's also the instance of choosing to trust a minor's "consent to inappropriate actions" which is making the active choice to engage with them in any manner regards topics that are inappropriate or potentially harmful even without the specific intent of grooming them.

Everyone will eventually, at least once, say something inappropriate around a child, be it swearing or sexual or scary. Regardless of intent. Its just the way the world works. He who says something inappropriate will undoubtedly be in the presence of a child who should not be hearing it.

So again, I'm not going to support or condemn anyone without actually knowing what happened and, frankly, neither should anyone else. Neutrality in a situation as precarious as this should be the only option.
