    Reject society’s creepy pedophilic obsession with youth. Embrace personal growth at all stages of life. We’re all works in progress.

    If you’re not learning and growing then you’re already dead.

    *edit

    Me: positive message encouraging personal growth.

    Lemmy: I want to pedantically argue with you about the dictionary definition of “pedophilic”.

    Ok guys lol focusing on the real stuff huh?

      Jesus fucking Christ, not everything is pedophilia. I’m starting to think that society is more obsessed with pedophilia that pedophiles are obsessed with children.

      I apologize in advance - I don’t mean to jump down your throat. It just seems like there is an unhealthy tendency to label things we don’t like as pedophilic.

      It’s not pedophilia if they don’t want to fuck kids but are obsessed with youth and/or wanting to be young. Most of advertising is built around “it’s fun to be young” and “youth and beauty”. Capitalism as monetized envy. Make the people with money want the thing they can’t buy.

        And the pedophilia is the root of it. Slowly, with small steps to youth and younger and younger. Women’s bodys must look like undeveloped, prepubety girl- slim , without hair on body and don’t let me start about being innocent and pure.
