I’m not the news, so I’ll keep saying “underage sex trafficker Matt ‘Pizza’ Gaetz”.
I’m under no obligation to give this piece of dog shit any benefit of the doubt. Though, it may be more accurate to call him a connoisseur of underage prostitutes because he paid a trafficker instead of trafficking the girl directly. Or maybe ‘benefactor to teen sex traffickers’ would work as well
Well, he’d still be an alleged one since he hasn’t been convicted, but yeah, there would be nothing else I’d take issue with in that. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of the guy before, so I’ve got no partisan motivation here. “Pedophile,” like “Nazi,” is just such an extreme accusation to make against someone that I immediately assume people are being dishonest when applying these labels, and that turned out to be the case here as well. He’s already been suspected of sex trafficking minors, or at least being involved with it. I don’t see the need to lie about additional charges.

How about underage teen sex trafficker, does that work better for you?
According to that wikipedia page he has not been convicted of that either so alleged underage sex trafficker.

You do you.
Meanwhile, known pedophile Matt Gaetz will continue to do children and get away with it.
13 to 19 are teenagers. You can dislike him all you want, it still doesn’t make him a pedophile.

So if they instead said “known ephebophile Matt Gaetz will continue to do children and get away with it”, you’d just be like “well done, carry on”?
Add this comment to the huge list of shit I would never expect to ever say or type.
Edit: linked up definition of children highlighting that teenagers are generally considered to be children.

Are you really out here “um akshully ephebophile”-ing? I hope kids stay away from you.
All I care about is the truth. Not liking someone doesn’t justify spreading misinformation.
Go away, Matt.
Right, he was protected by the gop mafia - so you are pedantically correct, he was not convicted, conveniently.
But we all know the truth. All of us who are paying attention, that is.
woohoo! found a genuine “it’s ephebophilia actually” in the wild!
Dammit, I missed it! Nice response time by the mods, though.
Edit: I’m wrong, they’re still ephebo’ing strong below.
This is really not the time or place to make that argument.
Yeah. As much as I love to be accurate and pedantic, even I don’t touch this subject with a dirty barge pole.
It’s (to be pedantic, statutory) rape regardless. Which is the point.
Here we go
