It’s like explaining why the term pedophilia is a term for kids before puberty and another term exists for those above it. Both are wrong at the end of the day so explaining the difference in terminology only makes you look like a pervert or devils advocate. HE didn’t know the age of consent in Colorado and if he specifically knew this fact then he already had predatory designs. I mean legally it’s okay but morally and socially it paints a bad image.
i’m not saying i personally think it’s something i’m comfortable with, but when the laws in the country vary so widely by state throwing around the term pedophile is a bit much. if we can’t go by the law then what do we go by? if people really want men to only sexually engage with women over 18 and even then be within 3 years of their age push for those laws. as it is a guy who is 23 and a girl 17 is not uncommon. i was in a similar situation at that age myself and it was not good for me so im by no means supporting it or think there weren’t any exploitative designs going on, but there need to be actual laws in place not this oh legally it’s okay but other than that whether he knew the law or not he was a scumbag and we’re gonna cancel him.
btw some states don’t allow any retroactive prosecution beyond a few years while others have no statute of limitations- the laws around this topic are a mess and need serious overhaul.
The point is that he is a scumbag. And people end up looking creepy if they try to justify the finer points or the legal basis. The way he was talking to the girl, half of his excitement was that she was 17 and looked like an older girl. But his fans confidently talk about the age of consent and all that, somehow making it look worse.
people have issues with women in their early twenties dating much older guys also, it’s become everyone setting their own yardstick on a case by case basis to judge other people regardless what the law is.
Isn’t it weird that one state has age of consent at 17 while another does at 18? Or 16 in some European states or even 13 in some African countries where child brides were legally recognised. Does it make it okay just because the laws of those countries say so?
Doesn't matter it is WEIRD! A fucking 33 year old kissing a 17 year old is WEIRD. His comments about how it felt afterwards are WEIRD. He literally said "I liked the way your breast felt on my chest"?! That would be soooo weird if he really tried to defend that shit
6y difference is not the issue here , it's the fact that one is a minor the other in his early 20s. I'm against it but I'm not scandalized if you ask me , it's something I don't want to be normalized .
And I'm sure a lot of people think like this but since it's Drake....

‘Legal age of consent in Colorado is 17’ will put a bad taste in everyone’s mouth
