the operative search terms here would be shota and loli, and also Fakku.com. Heck, punch “young teens” into google and see what you get. Again, definitely do not do this from a work computer.

This conversation seemed to grow fairly acrimonious, but I have no axe to grind. I’ve spent a lot of time on the internet where the phrase “delicious flat chest” didn’t raise any eyebrows, and it’s pretty obvious from the porn market that an awful lot of people are being giant hypocrites on this issue. Current age of consent laws are entirely arbitrary. There’s been lots of mention of “harm”, but a number of other behaviors have moved from pathology to normative, so why not this one?

>Incest seems unlikely — I don’t think anybody likes it and the pushback would be ridiculously strong.

google wincest, or visit fakku.com.

Edit – You probably should not do either of these things from a work computer.

BTW, Scott, have you seen this nature article on peer review tampering?

In my browser, the text is written in a grey (#4E4E4E) and the background is “transparent” (white).

I’m surprised at the number of people who think that the article is made of text and thus should be judged by the proportion of text. The purpose of the article is to launch an image macro.

The funny thing is that trying to mock someone’s appearance by saying that they look like a character played by Christian Bale is just ridiculously self-defeating.

Meh. The title highlights the appearance mockery, the post does indeed mock Holt’s appearance in the first two sentences, and then Futrelle spends the rest of the post (much longer than two sentences) arguing for the thesis. I’m content to continue calling that incidental.

Is there something wrong with my computer, or is We Hunted the Mammoth written in black words on a dark grey background?
