    That’s not the question at hand. The question at hand is why they’re flattening the two things in order to describe the act as “child abuse”, and generally overreact to the exact nature of the action. The fact of the touch being non-consensual is not in question but the description of it as violence, traumatic, and abuse is.

    Jumping to extremes is not rational behaviour.

      why they’re flattening the two things

      That’s not what’s going on though. The two things share one very very crucial detail in common that y’all keep pretending isnt being mentioned repeatedly in this thread. Deal with that or do not expect to continue this conversation.

        What detail is that? It can’t be the non-consensual touch since I’ve mentioned that in most of my comments outright, including my last reply to you.

          It’s the fact that non-consensually touching a stranger’s child is absolutely unacceptable behavior. Why do you have such a hard time understanding that? Are you looking to get away with something like this in the future and want to make sure it’s downplayed sufficiently? Get outta here with this pretense of not understanding the issue.

            So the thing that was regularly addressed is the thing you think nobody is talking about. And there’s not a single comment saying non-consensual touching is okay or questioning if it can be, but somehow you imagined there was.

            Meanwhile you’re ignoring what I told you what I’m actually questioning. Don’t pretend like you were ever trying to have a conversation when you were just looking to get angry about something nobody said.
