    Pro-America and anti-groomer seems like a contradiction. How many movies made before like 2005 are centered around an adult man dating an underage girl? It's a nation of groomers and most of the anti-lgbt crowd has a long history of talking up the merits of dating underage girls.

    Like idk if this has changed but when I was in middle school a bunch of the girls were dating guys in college, and only in retrospect were we like "ew wait wtf"

      Damn what the hell. When were you in school? I was one of the few people in middle school dating at all, and it didn't cross age gaps. Only in high school (2012-16) it became more common, and junior/senior pairs became senior+college student when one graduated.

        Like 2004. A bunch might be exaggerating, just stands out in my mind now because it was insanely weird and we just kind of accepted it.

          Huh, I think I remember one relationship out of our grade and otherwise everyone dated within their year. Roughly same time period

      wtf really? I remember a freshman girl at our high school dating a college boy and everyone called her a "whore" and the dude creepy.
