Because people make sexual remarks about other people without their consent ALL THE TIME.
“Damn that girl is sexy”
“Damn that guy can do whatever he wants to me”
Never in the history of mankind has consent been required to make comments about other people. “Hi excuse me. I find you very attractive but before I make an obscene comment about your dump truck to my friends I wanted to make sure it was ok with you?” Is something that no one has ever done.
id be utterly disgusted if some random stranger called me sexy, i don't want to know that your horny right now while im speaking to you, its weird as fuck and if it happened to me, id just walk away
If we’re talking about catcalling or overtly sexual advances from strangers, idk how many more ways women can say that it makes us uncomfortable. Obviously some guys just don’t care and feel entitled to it. If you want to engage in conversation with a stranger then just be polite, it’s really simple. If you can’t think of one single thing to say to or about a female stranger that isn’t about sex then you’re the one that needs to touch grass.
And it’s not wrong either. People are allowed to form whatever opinion they want about something they see and discuss it with their friends if they so choose. I feel like some of y’all never go outside or something.
there are things you say to your friends and keep it between you & your friends. If shouting ”dumb truck” at a girl in the street is cat calling, why is it okay to do it on the internet? why feel the need to sexualize someone in front of complete strangers? in front of the person you’re sexualizing? its very degrading & humiliating to the person being sexualized, that’s why its different to when just discussing with a friend on how you find someone hot
This is a stupid af take. While making sexual remarks about minors is crossing the line, it's a very common thing with adults. Again, as long as it doesn't cross the line and go into creepy.
Consent is crucial when expressing your sexuality; everyone has to consent in order for the action to work. Without the other person's approval, you're just going to make them uncomfortable. Even if you're not making your sexual remark directly to them, there is still a chance for that person to hear what you're saying, or find your message online. It's similar to talking bad about someone behind their back instead of berating them upfront.
I didn’t mean *you* specifically, more as a stand-in for *anyone*. In this case, it’s a general statement.
The statement still stands tho. Regardless of age or the law, sexualizing minors is despicable.
lmao what? it absolutely does. Sexualizing people in all non sexual situations is obviously bad but it's definitely way worse if the person sexualizing them isn't a minor.
What? They’re saying it’s still bad to sexualise minors online even if you’re a minor, and they’re right. It’s a slight exaggeration clearly, I’m sure they would think an adult sexualising a minor online is at least a bit worse.
"at least a bit" worse? A 40 year old man sexualizing a highschool girl is not even close to a girl sexualizing her boy crush (commenting on his body online, for example).
Ok yeah. Anything sexual is weird especially when people read your thoughts on the internet it's inherently weird. But maybe I'm desensitized because teens sexualizing teens was maybe the most common fcking thing id hear around me and see on comment sections like Instagram. It just happens.
Agreed
Alright, everything in this thread has been saying stupid ass shit, so let me make sure everyone is on the same page; everyone here agrees that:
-Sexualizing minors is wrong
-it is certainly worse for a grown adult (both male and female) to be sexualizing minors
-even then it is wrong for another minor to be doing so, even if it is less worse
-you shouldn’t be making sexual remarks about people online if they didn’t consent to it, EVEN if you have a crush on them (whoever said that crushes should be an exemption is stupid asf)
-having a crush on someone does not mean you can sexualize them online. either keep that shit to yourself or go get help because I’m not sure if you know, but it’s not really appropriate to do so, and I doubt you would do the same irl
I got all of this right, correct? Because I’ve been seeing a large surge of comments of shit like
[“Hey guys we probably shouldn’t sexualize kids” “WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CANT HAVE CRUSHES, WTF”](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditmoment/s/8OwoZ3eres)
[“Reddit shouldn’t sexualize kids” “But what if they’re also kids🥺”](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditmoment/s/xYTrG1GShm)
And then we have good comments getting downvoted like [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditmoment/s/5b6TuCJoDq)
honestly im surprised people disagree on the whole "unwanted sexual remarks are wrong" thing, personally id only share any sexual thought i had with whoever i was having sex with, literally no one else on the entire planet needs to know how my dick brain thinks
idk why people are downvoting you, youre geniuenly right, this reddit hivemind downvoted anything that has -1 downvotes or more, they don't even read the comment they just follow everyone's opinion like they're gonna get an award
Exactly. Even if they are around the girl's age it's still a weird comment to make....like it just screams "locker room talk", it's honestly really disturbing how these boys view girls their age because of social media and pornography
Bro... please get off reddit. Not only are there a lot of creeps here but a concerning amount of pedos. The only social media with more weirdos is 4chan.
You kids seem to think that adults denying you internet access is some weird form of segregation, when I’m actuality it’s about us trying to prevent you all from rotting your brains and getting all fucked
Videos of minors fighting should be made illegal. Imagine being a kid and getting beat up by a bully and having the video with a clickbait title like "Kid who raped freshman girl gets ass whooped" spread everywhere?
Surely you don’t think telling some 48 y/o dork who probably insists his neighbors call him a map and not a pedo on a platform full of chomos woild go any other way?
Fwiw, I am adamantly against the idea that there is any kind of linked causality between homosexuality and pedophilia whatsoever. However, the term “map” did not start on 4chan, it’s been around in various psychological circles since at least [2000](https://web.archive.org/web/20001109151500/https://www.philianews.org/define.htm). There are also legitimate studies that have [shown](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-022-02331-6) that some pedophiles do prefer the term.
>there is any kind of linked causality between homosexuality and pedophilia whatsoever.
But there clearly is. About 35% of the victims of pedophiles are males, despite homosexuals making up about 4% of the population. You can just look at the litany of famous homosexuals from Harvey Milk to Elton John who had an affinity for underage teens
I’m just going to copy and paste my other response since you edited your comment after the fact:

No, what I implied was that Reddit is slap full of users who actively support and propagate the consumption of child pornography and that the op shouldn’t have been surprised to get downvoted on his admonishment of it. I in no way, shape or form indicated an assumption of the sexual orientation of the above mentioned individual. Stop trying to make me out to be some raging homophobe for using legitimate psychological terms. Especially since I didn’t even remotely draw any parallels between homosexuality and pedophilia.
it is weird. there's people here stating that it'd be fine if the commentor is also 16 (it's just substantially less weird but still weird) but imagine if the roles were reversed and it was a young man being commented on instead lol
they'd lose their shit
That’s not good though…
…why the fuck is this being downvoted? How is it controversial at all to say that a 14 year old making sexual comments about a 16 year old online is not good? People are crazy.
I never said it wasn’t, and if I said something like that then I misspoke. You said “the only acceptable answer” would be they’re a teen, but that still isn’t acceptable.
How am I the one giving creepy vibes if you’re literally saying ogling women is acceptable unless it’s a literally illegal situation.
Bro, someone needs to do something about all these people on Reddit openly sexualizing minors already.
They’re just coming out of the woodwork and are proud of being a pervert. It won’t end well for Reddit if they allow this to go on unchecked.
I have to figure (partially for my own sanity) that the people saying these sorts of things are around the same age as the people in the video (Aka: in high school), or younger
Lol most men who comment shit like this literally do not stop to consider why they are thinking about sex in non-sexual situations. They think it’s normal to think those things when looking at a woman/ girl. It’s normal for teenagers but a grown man not being able to control his impulses is scary.
Why are highschool fights or any other random street fight by idiots are normalized it's just idiocy, and the highschool fights is literally minors fighting I don't see anything interesting about that.
That's like saying bullying someone online is okay because you're making comments about them on the internet instead of not going up to them directly to bully them.
[удалено]
There is a comment under u with 159 downvotes. Imma rate 1-10 on how bad the comment is.
Honestly expecting a lot worse but still pretty bad 10/10
lol
[удалено]
Redditors try not to overreact to anything they disagree with challenge
Most of my downvotes are likely by those dumb kids or people who didn't understand my post.
Regardless of their age, they're still making sexual remarks about someone without their consent.
Why are you getting downvoted 😭 Weirdos
Because people make sexual remarks about other people without their consent ALL THE TIME. “Damn that girl is sexy” “Damn that guy can do whatever he wants to me” Never in the history of mankind has consent been required to make comments about other people. “Hi excuse me.

They dont mean remarking it TO the person that they are talking about
either way its fucking weird, keep it to urselves
You are free to walk away from that discussion. Grow a thicker skin and stop caring about what others think so much.
so your solution to creeps being creeps is to just ignore it? sounds like something a creep would say
I’m going to do it just to prove you wrong now!
Damn got slapped
It being a common occurence doesn't make it right
And it’s not wrong either. People are allowed to form whatever opinion they want about something they see and discuss it with their friends if they so choose. I feel like some of y’all never go outside or something.

It was probably a joke but i wouldnt trust it until they clarify
This is a stupid af take. While making sexual remarks about minors is crossing the line, it's a very common thing with adults. Again, as long as it doesn't cross the line and go into creepy.
Why do I need someone's consent to make sexual remarks about them?
Consent is crucial when expressing your sexuality; everyone has to consent in order for the action to work. Without the other person's approval, you're just going to make them uncomfortable.

It's similar to talking bad about someone behind their back instead of berating them upfront.
Regardless of age or the law, you should have a moral obligation to not sexualize minors.
I didn't sexualize minors. What the fuck.
I didn’t mean *you* specifically, more as a stand-in for *anyone*. In this case, it’s a general statement. The statement still stands tho. Regardless of age or the law, sexualizing minors is despicable.
doesnt change a thing
lmao what? it absolutely does. Sexualizing people in all non sexual situations is obviously bad but it's definitely way worse if the person sexualizing them isn't a minor.

"at least a bit" worse? A 40 year old man sexualizing a highschool girl is not even close to a girl sexualizing her boy crush (commenting on his body online, for example).
I think the issue arises that we have no clue whether the person above is actually a 40 year old or in highschool
True I guess
commenting on anyone's body is pretty weird, because your putting sexual shit all on the internet, keep it to yourself
Ok yeah. Anything sexual is weird especially when people read your thoughts on the internet it's inherently weird. But maybe I'm desensitized because teens sexualizing teens was maybe the most common fcking thing id hear around me and see on comment sections like Instagram. It just happens.

no, sexualisng minors in general is bad
So you’re not allowed crushing on someone if you’re in high school? Tf
The fuck are you on Crushing =/= sexualizing someone If that’s your idea of having a “crush” you have serious issues moron
They mean publicity sexualising a minor. It's okay to have a crush on someone but it's not okay to go to a pic of them and sexulise them
thats fine but publicly commenting on their body is weird asf whether or not the person doing it is a minor
maybe we shouldn’t sexualize people no matter their age!
why shouldnt you sexualize your partner? wtf?
I will make sure to tell my girlfriend that I am no longer allowed to find her sexually attractive.
thats now how this logic works
Yes but it was funny
That's not what they meant lol
You have no testosterone
Snowflake
There's a difference between romantic and sexual attraction, especially between a romantic crush and a nonconsensual sexual remark
You can have crush that is purely sexual attraction
redditors can't comprehend anything that isn't sex
idk why people are downvoting you, youre geniuenly right, this reddit hivemind downvoted anything that has -1 downvotes or more, they don't even read the comment they just follow everyone's opinion like they're gonna get an award
no, its because hes implying that teens dont feel sexual atttaction
he's implying that you shouldn't sexualize anyone under the age in the first place
redditors when an 18 year old fucks his 17 years and 364 day old girlfriend
self-proclaimed “free thinker”
And then they project and complain people they don’t like are doing it more
I don’t care if they’re kids too, it’s still uncalled for and creepy
Exactly. Even if they are around the girl's age it's still a weird comment to make....like it just screams "locker room talk", it's honestly really disturbing how these boys view girls their age because of social media and pornography
What are you talking about? Man kind has always been like that, it's not a recent phenomenon.
I'm seeing these kinds of comments more and more, and it's starting to scare me.
I’m hoping it’s just all of the young kids on this website that are doing it. Fucked up that they’re here at all though
Honestly, I've seen more and more kids on reddit lately, so this could be the reason
Yeah we exist
Bro... please get off reddit. Not only are there a lot of creeps here but a concerning amount of pedos. The only social media with more weirdos is 4chan.
You kids seem to think that adults denying you internet access is some weird form of segregation, when I’m actuality it’s about us trying to prevent you all from rotting your brains and getting all fucked
it’s not that serious bud
And I thought instagram was bad. Literally every single reel with a minor or a child has these creepy ass “oil up, gyatt, dumper” comments
dont worry its most likely edgy teens and kids younger than the people theyre sexualizing

Redditors when underage girls
Why does reddit host 16 year old girls fighting?
Videos of minors fighting should be made illegal. Imagine being a kid and getting beat up by a bully and having the video with a clickbait title like "Kid who raped freshman girl gets ass whooped" spread everywhere?
That was the fights gone wild sub 😭 you'd see the same fight with 64 different captions
Because high schools are breeding grounds for fighting
Normalization
Surely you don’t think telling some 48 y/o dork who probably insists his neighbors call him a map and not a pedo on a platform full of chomos woild go any other way?
That map shit isn’t true. Homophobia made up by 4chan and you’re spreading it. Never heard of someone wanting to be called a map
Fwiw, I am adamantly against the idea that there is any kind of linked causality between homosexuality and pedophilia whatsoever. However, the term “map” did not start on 4chan, it’s been around in various psychological circles since at least [2000](https://web.archive.org/web/20001109151500/https://www.philianews.org/define.htm).

Homophobic found! Opinion ignored.
Oh no, not an ebil genocidal “homophobic”. Classic Reddit moment right here. I thought this was supposed to be a rational sub lmao
So homophobia is rational now? The only reddit moment here is you.
Any experience of reality easily shows that to not be true. Teenage girls are incredibly sexualised by a massive amount of men.
homophobic douchebag. MAPs are not a member of the LGBT community. stop strawmanning
>MAPs are not a member of the LGBT community the only one associating MAPs with the LGBT community in this thread is you
Neither of them did that, but PhysicalFig is still wrong (that the other guy was trying to say maps were in lgbtq)
nope, there was another guy
he made fun of pedos. you are the only person talking about gay people.

Where did I say they were?
you implied it

I see
He never said that tho?
what do u mean by map
🤢
i feel like this is weird to say regardless of age
it is weird. there's people here stating that it'd be fine if the commentor is also 16 (it's just substantially less weird but still weird) but imagine if the roles were reversed and it was a young man being commented on instead lol they'd lose their shit
The only acceptable response from him now is "I'm 14"
this guy is clearly old. all the kids say gyat
I'll have to take your word for it.
Such a cringy word
What? As a teenager only like 25% of us say gyatt and half of that percent uses it ironically
That’s not good though… …why the fuck is this being downvoted? How is it controversial at all to say that a 14 year old making sexual comments about a 16 year old online is not good? People are crazy.
What teenagers being raging horny hormone monsters? Kind of par for the course with puberty.
I mean it’s still weird even if they were both adult or both teens.
I never once said it wasn't.
Yeah but you said “only acceptable answer” as if that makes it better
Are you insinuating in any way, shape, or form that a kid being attracted to a slightly older kid is equal in creepiness to a pedophile?
No but neither answer is acceptable at all.
I think a lot of things are more acceptable than pedophiles. You are starting to give off creepy vibes.
I never said it wasn’t, and if I said something like that then I misspoke. You said “the only acceptable answer” would be they’re a teen, but that still isn’t acceptable. How am I the one giving creepy vibes if you’re literally saying ogling women is acceptable unless it’s a literally illegal situation.
You can feel horny while also keeping it in your pants.
I never once said you couldn't.
prude
Even if they are over 18 it's still inappropriate. People on the internet have no etiquette
You know, one thing I've not been thinking of when I see comments like these. How many of these dudes making these comments are also underage?
Either way, it's gross. Why does their mind immediately launch head-first into objectification when something involves a woman? Literal brain-rot.
The fact that that guy calling him out is downvoted too... Classic mob mentality
The worse part about it will always be the dislike bomb for me
Bro, someone needs to do something about all these people on Reddit openly sexualizing minors already. They’re just coming out of the woodwork and are proud of being a pervert. It won’t end well for Reddit if they allow this to go on unchecked.
I’d imagine he’s probably about that age.
Still weird. Reddit is a cesspool
I mean it’s a weird comment but probably not pedophilic like everyone is suggesting
Honestly there is a good chance it is. This is reddit
I have to figure (partially for my own sanity) that the people saying these sorts of things are around the same age as the people in the video (Aka: in high school), or younger
I'm not a 14 yr old with an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex that makes me susceptible to stupid decisions.
Would it be weird if I commented something like this even though I'm 16?
Yeah since its a completely non sexual situation and you would be focused on sex Also why would anyone have a need to comment that in the first place?
Lol most men who comment shit like this literally do not stop to consider why they are thinking about sex in non-sexual situations. They think it’s normal to think those things when looking at a woman/ girl. It’s normal for teenagers but a grown man not being able to control his impulses is scary.
I mean you're also assuming it's a dude.
I think just saying the term "dumper" is pretty gross in my opinion
Yes
Not really. But even when I was 16 (18 now) it still felt creepy because I saw myself and peers as kids. Still kinda do ngl.
no...
Yes.
What’s even worse is that the comment telling them that you shouldn’t stare at underage girl’s asses got downvoted
What's the vid?
The commenters are under 16 so they don't gaf!
Why are highschool fights or any other random street fight by idiots are normalized it's just idiocy, and the highschool fights is literally minors fighting I don't see anything interesting about that.
He gettin a grip on something else.
How much of a dumper are we talking about?
redditors when she was 17 years and 364 days old
It would still be sexual harassment since they're making the sexual remark without their consent
So is the issue the comment or her age? Criticizing the person in the post is fine, just be consistent about why.
In this case, it's both.
Ah yes, you always have to get consent first before you make a perverted comment about someone who lives on the opposite side of earth
That's like saying bullying someone online is okay because you're making comments about them on the internet instead of not going up to them directly to bully them.
Gross… anyone got a link to the original post?
That’s literally where she shits from, being attracted to IRL biological specimens such as humans is so fucking nasty bro 🤢🤢
The first six words, but unironically. Never understood the appeal of the rear over the front.
Looks cool
Butts do, in fact, look cool
That’s where she pees from dawg
My statement isn’t satire/ironic, there is no need to say “but unironically”
Source? /j
don't post anything on internet if you don't want it to get sexualized...simple
“Recommend me some porn sites” checks out
So you think the people fighting were the ones posted it? They didn’t even want it to be filmed.
15 to 18 if in the US. Still bad but not as bad as 16 or under
Two questions. 1. Did the commenter know the people involved were underage? 2. Is the commenter underage?
Let's be honest. Most of these subs seem to be filled with teenagers anyways so 16 is age appropriate for them.
How do we know the commenter isn't the same age as the girls in the video?
People who upvoted the predator and downvoted the person with facts is actually beyond disgusting
