    This is actually so insidious, oh my god. Are they arguing for the legalization of children being in “relationships” with adults? Also the points made in the first comment make no sense, children are allowed to pursue relationships… with other children! Comparing segregation and how interracial marriage was illegal to children being with adults is disgusting to say. Preventing consenting adults from falling in love is an infringement on freedom, allowing an adult to date a child is abuse, not freedom.

    I remember your post about these “youth liberation” subreddits, and while I agree in the protection of the rights of youth and ensuring their prospering (creation of social spaces that are free, recreational activities, better education, etc.), this subreddit doesn’t really feel like it’s actually focusing on that. Maybe it was originally started on that premise but it devolved into something horrid. I wonder if the person in this post is actually a misguided minor or an adult cosplaying a child online. This reeks of grooming and should be removed from Reddit like how r/jailbait was.

      I will be fair to the subreddit and say that there is a good amount of it that seems harmless (if not really focusing on anything substantive.) but then there will be a post about teenagers that will give you the creeps.
