    What does the sub matter? Look at the contents of that post.

    Never heard of Destiny before. I just found that thread with Google but you got me curious.

    he has promoted the idea that college campuses should have students who have diverse opinions in order to reduce polarization.

    Thanks. I may join the sub now.

    He made a stupid comment during the George Floyd protests though. Am trying to find out if he recanted.

        He isn’t a pedo. He says a 23yo with a 16yo isn’t pedophilia. Which is technically true: it is ephebophilia. He seems to have been baiting outrage.

        He hasn’t been convicted of sexual abuse AFAIK but he certainly does seem dodgy on that front…

        That sub should rename itself to distance itself from such behavior. Don’t think I want to add to its karma by joining or participating. So thanks for the warning.

        Still doesn’t invalidate the debunking of that report though.

          “No no, I’m not a pedo, to prove it, I looked pedophilia in a dictionary! It’s actually ephebophilia! …You don’t care that I used a new word? Well, I was just doing it as a joke! It’s your fault you’d think I would molest a minor!”

          When someone rapes a minor as a joke, someone still raped a minor.

                appreciate it, but it’s more like you’re saying sqgl is a pedo instead of destiny

                adding something like “destiny be like:” or some generic shit like that will make it clearer

            I gave you a specific example. 23yo with 18yo… consensually.

            If you think that is pedophilia or rape then you are out of step with the law and with cultural norms.
