TW: Pedophilia
Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.
And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.
It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.
Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.
They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.
And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.
So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.
house just stands there with a thousand yard stare after this
*wrinkles nose* shouldnt you be repressing that
Just for context, the book he gifted house is worth hundreds of dollars and the note he wrote says "Greg, made me think of you."
If House and Wilson got together in the show there would be a scene where House walks out of a closet. A patient stares at him and House lifts his cane and says "oh my leg? You should see the other guy" and walks away. Five seconds later, Wilson scrambles out of the closet with his shirt unbuttoned, his hair sticking up in every direction, and his tie pulled down. He sees the patients shocked face and and says "uh. There was. Um. See you" before running away too
If you're expecting your employee to fix a mistake that's costing you millions, then they deserve a very significant cut of it.
If they were being fair, they'd ask for half, which would be $9 million. But they didn't even ask for that. They asked for a raise, which would probably be a few thousand a year. And you couldn't even give them that.
No disrespect to roleplay blogs but house would never say "I'm gregory house, a doctor" if he had a blog he'd make an introductory post like "what's up [random slur]s bigbootylover420 here" and it would be 99% shitposts except for when it's 3am and he's posting "I have nothing in my life. The drugs create a short facade of contentment and when I wake up sober life crashes down on me once more." Followed up with a picture reblogged from a porn bot
House MD is awesome it's like. Did you know self harm isn't always physical. Sometimes it's sabotaging your relationships so you can feel emotional pain when people leave you. Now he's dancing with a boombox

I think the sky is trying to say something? 🤔 👀 🏳️⚧️
So much queer discourse is just "i like pancakes" "so you hate waffles?" Type shit
"I believe mspec lesbians are valid" "so you think lesbians just need good dick?"
"I believe trans men can identify as lesbians if they want" "so you think trans men are women?"
"I believe transandrophobia exists" "so you think transfems oppress transmascs?"
No bitch that's a whole new sentence wtf are you talking about
I always thought cockatiels resembled little clown babies with their rosy cheeks. ❤️ So Imma just roll with it for this months sticker design.
i just think it says a lot about the person. my favorite is a bear named theodore
some of my current favorite responses to weird/confusing sentences:
“many such cases”
“we love/hate to see it”
“honestly, work”
“many are saying this”
“love them or hate them they’re spitting straight facts”
“you conjure a beautiful world”
Most 00's shows: here's some queerbait and longing looks but no they'll never actually be gay we can't put that on tv
House MD: House and Wilson are so gay that they're too useless to fuck but here have Olivia Wilde being bi onscreen
