The thing to pay attention to is that while whenever a story like this comes up a lot of alarmists (especially on here) denote it as being another sign of the end times and furthering the degeneracy of our culture, but much like rape stories, they are rare and isolated. This story got covered not because it's common but because it's fucking weird and crazy and will elicit extreme opinions from readers will which generates buzz and traffic.

I used to think that way too until I got to middle age and realized that a lot of the weird and crazy degeneracy that used to be "rare and isolated" has now become mainstream.

This is it, it's always about pushing the envelope.

Got gay sex decriminalised? Great, next: add more than just lesbians and gay men, to we've got LGBT.
Got that? Time to push for more letters to add.
Got those too? Time to push for gay marriage.
Got that? Time to sexualise children to keep the real sickos happy.
Give children ownership/agency over their own sexuality? Great, they are now sexual beings that can 'choose' to have a sexual relationship.

It'll take a long time to convince parents to abuse their children this way, but it won't be long until it's redefined as not abuse, and then it's game on.

I don't see many nursing home visits in the child's parents future.

The fucked up thing is these extremeist can't even wait for these kids to grow up before cramming this garbage into their heads.
