The french dude is shit but the girl is 30, she can make her own decisions, what makes that situation sus is that the dude is a rich artist and probably wouldnt have any pull without that fake bullshit
You can definitely criticize but I just think the confusion is that you cant judge an old world and an old way of thinking entirely from your position and standards in 2023. Im very likely going to live past 40 and not die from diarrhea
I like that he's nice and thoughtful enough to consider this but I think he's making a molehill out of nothing and also the likely uintended insinuation that users, here of all places, are trying to vindicate bad power dynamics or pedophilia. Have some faith in the users here.
The French guy met the woman when she was hired by a third party as his translator. Sex tourism is not the only conceivable reason someone would go to asia
As a middle aged white guy, I'm unironically very sorry that you had to go through that. I'm kinda surprised that that shit was able to make it though on Hexbear. Maybe the guy had his own questionable relationship to feel bad about???
The age divided by 2 plus 7 rule most definitely applies as a hard limit if you're a white guy marrying in the global south, although honestly it probably needs to be tighter, like no less than 15% of the guy's age.
I think they felt you were being islamophobic especially as you brought up the child bride stuff out of nowhere as a counter to them talking about Islam's attitude to age differences in relationships between adults

I just feel like you failed to consider people died of diarrhea, something that I get once a week minimum as a red meated American

I just feel like youre insanely privileged as a modern diarrhea survivor to be judging a medieval pedophile

I think the joke was that they didn't want to continue the conversation and just wanted to break the tension by talking about diarrhea instead.

Have faith in the users? The fuck is that some kinda sacrilege? I'm not your god, chum. 😤
I, on the other hand, am a deity of some sort and I want you to put some respect on my name.

Ya probably. Dunno, but if a new account says something terrible here, I just report and ignore. Although I definitely get your rage.

a lot of that is pretty heavily disputed it was not exactly a time of great record keeping with regard to age
It is also worth pointing out that Islam specifically says that marriage is only valid if it is between consenting adults
