You're American, social life is foreign to you. This is not weird at all in Europe. People being involved in clubs and associations gathering people of all ages is very common here at least until very recently. Book clubs, sport associations, hobbyists of every kind. We haven't been bowling alone as long as you have.
What's the percentage of relationships that form on account of these associations?
High. At least historically. I moved in with my older girlfriend who I met through a political club around when I was 16. The fact that people have historically been a bit more relaxed about age gaps here is because once you see it out in the world it's very obvious that there's really not anything all that weird that like a 22 year old and a 16 year old with similar interests and overlapping social circle become romantically involved. Obviously if it's a case of a 22 year old leveraging his greater freedom, most likely better financial situation and marginally greater life experience to run through the local high schools freshman class then that's another story.

I see. So in Europe, grooming clubs are perfectly normal. They don't call it the old world for nothing. :M

I have a feeling not a lot of things pass as weird in your corner of the woods (the gay club)
America and maybe the other anglosphere countries are the only countries on earth where this would be weird. If you live in some mid sized town and you're into board games or bird watching or whatever you join the local association for your interest if such exists. For really popular stuff like sports there's obviously some internal stratification according to age and often sex but otherwise you end up interacting with people from all walks of life.

My now 80+ year old dad has been an avid ornithologist my entire life. When a rare birdie show up somewhere in the country him and the other local hardcore bird watchers car pool to it, it could be like him, another old guy, a 45 year old and a 19 year old in the same car going on a fun excursion together.

Well didn't Macron marry his high school teacher? And she said some wild shit about how he was so incredible and everyone was obsessed with his genius and her kids were the same age as him. And the French though, yeah, that's my guy.

A baffling way of looking at the world and social relations. Real autism hours.

Edit: I cannot overemphasize how fucking insane you look to 95% of even the contemporary word. Deeply anti-social.

I dunno. I live in Europe whole my life. I am not an autist. And I am with Roguey on this. In my 20s I didn't have much interest in socializing with teens. I found them stupid, whiny, and inexperienced.

At the end of the day, it's two consenting adults, and it isn't anyone's business.
You wrote a wall of text only to miss the fact that in most places (read: outside the of parts of the Middle East, Indochina and East Indies) 14 is not considered an adult?
A bit upside-down here. Highest ages of consent in the world (18 and up) are unique to mostly Muslim countries, some US states, South Korea, Vietnam, and Central America.

13-16 is practically the rest of the world.

When people talk about places like Saudi Arabia having no law, it's mostly because the law that tortures and kills you for fucking outside of marriage makes it pretty redundant.

You can't just pawn this of on Eastern Europe. The fricking first lady of France was horny for a 15 year old boy and married him.

I am not an autist.
Citation needed.

And ok, I thought so too at that age. I've later recognized that this was a very immature opinion to have. Feeling like that and actually being in an association or whatever with younger people is not mutually incompatible though. You want your association to grow and prosper. You can't be turning away interested even if they're young and annoying. Again a very anti-social attitude being displayed. I guess it's to be expected from a bunch of manchildren.

You mean the age of consent. I meant the age of adulthood, since the talk was about "two consenting adults".

If this thread is anything to go by ZA/UM really should've just pointed at Kurvitz and yelled "PEDO!"

How does Larian, and Sven personally, tie into the pedophilia? And has Sven ever met with Macron's wife?

Someone should finally ask the hard questions in this thread about Kurvitz being fired.

>me and maxie shitpost for 4 posts
>mass communist mobilization to defend and normalie pedophilia
this is why I will never play an rpg that has no xp gain on kills, it's a slippery slope to no age of consent laws
But isn't it more liek a libertarian thing rather than a leftist one?
Oh sure, I guess. In the sense that every kind of socialist—from Marxist to Nazi—is incentivized to blur what such allegations even mean, to fuel the panics that give their ideologies power, it thereby does become a "libertarian" thing to "defend" and "normalize" "pedophilia".

Really torturing those words down to an 85 IQ usage, but in that way you could be right. Like it's an anarchist thing to oppose civilian disarmament defend school shootings.

All these anti-government extremists, they hate women and children, that's what it is.

Well I agree with most of this, except the part about it being my business. I want to know who the fucking scumbags are. Now, there are lots of ways to learn if a person is a scumbag and there are lots of ways to be a scumbag in a way that will never become public. But if we're talking about a grown adult engaging in a relationship with a 14 year old, I want to know about it. If for no other reason than to get the piece of shit out in the open.
>Location: San Diego

Opinion discarded with great force. You have a diseased soul, it's not your fault but that doesn't make it better.

Yes, I'd agree. If that's my real location . . .
KKKalifornia, Gay Texas, Ohayou. It matters little, you and your bloodline is cursed.

Against better knowledge I'm actually gonna bite the bullet and give you a real response.

What does the knowledge you ask for gain you? How does whether some artfag on literally the other side of the planet being a bad person or not affect your life meaningfully? Is it because he has produced publicly available media? If they're playing Rolling Stones on the radio do you turn it off in disgust because of all the questionable and almost certainly outright criminal pussy Mick Jagger has slain over the years? Asking if you watch Roman Polanski films would be a dumb question because of course you don't, not because he buttfucked a luuded up 13 year old in 1977 but because you're an artless gormless buffoon like every other American ape man.

J'accuse (2019) is a very good film by the way, highly recommended (I think it was released as An Officer and a Spy in english).

Couple of things going on in this post.

1) Roman Polanski is shitty and overrated, he sucks and his shit is unwatchable in le current year. But also yes, he's a piece of shit for drugging up a teenager and anally raping her. He's a fucking loser. So of course Eurotrash like you would appreciate him.
2) Me turning off the radio when the Rolling Stones comes on has nothing to do with Mick Jagger's sexual conquests and everything to do with the fact that they absolutely fucking suck. If I was on the fence about your Eurotrash sensibilities before this, you liking Mick fucking Jagger has cemented my original impression that you have shit taste.
3) To your first question, it affects my life meaningfully because it helps to inform my decision on whether or not to support their work. I do not want to give financial assistance to a fucking degenerate, it's really that simple.

The euros talking about age of consent remind me of this
