He says these things because it generates traffic, positive or negative responses are only registered by the social media algorithms as engagement, there is no such thing as bad publicity to these revenue streams. He's clearly a social opportunist building clout for his brand by incoherently stirring the pot and cares nothing for anything of substance.
It may be part of a desire to normalize their icky opinions. They are looking for the people in the audience who says: "hey , i agree with you." It's kind of a running theme with pedos.
I'm no psychologist but i suspect people like these find unbearable shame in their needs and this causes them to seek some form of validation, either grouping together to validate each other or over rationalizing "hot takes" like these to seek some sort of approval from the general public.

What? The Overton Window a real thing that exists.
It describes how politicians (and by extension, the PMC) view electoralism and policy: "What position could I take that maximizes profit/support while minimizing dissent?" It's Centrism 101, and it's how these ghouls operate. It's important to understand how they think. It's wrong—because fuck electoralism—but that's what they believe. And it's not surprising that cardboard leftists like Vaush are on board with trying to shift public opinion that way.
I feel like there's exactly one reason to have strong opinions on age of consent laws in general. Might just be me

I think there are two different perspectives of these things, because I know that when I was a teenager I wanted to have sex with all sorts of people. My desire for sex back then isn't especially different than it is right now.
I still think it's weird when someone much older goes after someone much younger, but like age of consent isn't just about the older person.
Different people are different, so setting a specific age is always going to set the age too high for some people, and too low for others. Age of consent is always going to be a compromise as a result. Like I've met plenty of people in their mid-late twenties who were so emotionally immature I'd feel like a creep dating them, even when they were older than me.
People should be allowed to have sex when they're younger, it's pretty natural. The problem comes when you have older individuals grooming them or using their naivete to suit their own goals. Wether that be for pedophilic reasons or pornographic ones (18+).
I don't really see how blanket bans would work, except for the lower end and maybe if there was age gap clauses. It would be case by case thing for the over 16 instances.
You're correct, it's still a bit of a grey area in some places. Especially with evangelicals and homosexuality.
lol why even get into this?
Even if you believe it, why say it?
Why tell people your socialist utopia will have legal lolis?
Is this meant to make people want to be socialists? Because idk maybe let's pursue different demographics for recruitment.
“I was fascist until I learned socialism will legitimize my Second Life persona irl. Long live the revolution.”
Lol Vaush is a pedo confirmed. Hope he fucken gets the rona and never comes back.
eh, I campaigned for a simplification of consent laws to make it equal for people of all genders (before it was 16 unless it's anal then it's 18 and also if one of you is 16 theres some leeway, now it's just 16)
but anyway I think now it's 16 for all cases it's fine, I guess people could push for 18 if they want but it's fine here
When I was a teenager, I definitely looked up the Romeo & Juliet laws for my state so I could know who it was legal for me to date. (I don’t know why, no one wanted to date me). This was from the perspective of me being the younger one though.
You’re completely correct that it’s not something I’ve felt the need to look up since turning 18.
I agree with you; the age of consent is not just about power disparities, but also about how malleable is the mind at young age and how early experiences can affect a child's sexuality and personality growing up; Given that relationships even between adults can be toxic or abusive; the point of the age of consent in this case would be to make sure the emotional and intellectual maturity of the individuals in a sexual relationship would be enough not to leave scarring sequels for the developing child.
I still have no idea who Vaush is but that’s something only a pedophile would say
socialists don’t try and use socialism to justify sexual predation, pedophiles do
I can see the logic behind age of consent reflecting age-based power disparity, but if you follow it to its natural conclusion, it means that the current age of consent is too low*. Which would be an actual present-day moral crisis, which you'd notice and call attention to if you actually got there from moral reasoning, instead of from trying to come up with a hypothetical future where you're allowed to fuck children.
*The student loan debt crisis means 18-30 year olds have a lot less power and freedom than they had when the age of consent laws were established.
Which would be an actual present-day moral crisis,
unlike the nonexistent crisis of the sexual objectification of young people, reactionaries are so dumb lmao
putting the "libertarian" in libertarian socialist
also this is the guy who's been accused of sexually harassing people
