      I’m not talking about how it was seen. I’m talking about how it is. There’s a difference.

      Cutting off hands was seen as socially acceptable at certain times in history, if someone was merely accused of theft. But it is horrific and terrible. How it was seen as irrelevant to it being terrible objectively terrible.

      Are you just trolling, or are you actually trying to defend some of that behavior?

        Fuck you for trying to win internet points by trying to paint someone as agreeing with pedophilia. It’s fucking disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.

            Then you need drugs or therapy or maybe to get off the internet for a while, because you’re so damn eager to find someone to throw your righteous anger at you decided to paint people as pedophiles. It’s fucking sick. Stop. Get help.
