@Drude@literatur.social @chisop@todon.eu Not everyone who asks a question sees it as rude or intrusive. You are, online, dealing with a lot of cultures, a lot of people's very different social backgrounds. "What age is ready to deal with informed consent" might be obvious to you, but for some folks, today is the first time they have thought about what that means. That's the internet.

@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk@mastodon.social But it's a pattern. The emotional labor in those discussions is expected from the people already hurt by a topic. While the ones "just asking questions" get the benefit of the doubt.

@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk@mastodon.social > "What age is ready to deal with informed consent" might be obvious to you, but Nice goalposts move! Very slick. That was not only not the original question, the original question was actually an argument not a question. Not sure why you're working overtime defending somebody being a dick by misrepresenting what they did to be something less objectionable than what they actually did. @Drude@literatur.social @chisop@todon.eu
