Spoiler Alert: It's the dominant view like half of thread-filler GAF promoted like three years ago.

Yiannopoulos: Of course, of course, and I think the law is probably about right, that’s probably roughly the right age, I think it’s probably about okay, but there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age, I certainly consider myself to be one of them. People who are sexually active younger. I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way. And in many cases, actually, those relationships with older men — this is one of the reasons I hate the left, this sort of stupid, one-size-fits-all policing of culture, this sort of, this arbitrary —
Ben: You know, Milo —
T.J.: Let him talk.
Ben: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I was just —
Yiannopoulos: This arbitrary — I’m just gonna — I’ll be quick. This arbitary and oppressive idea of consent which totally destroys, you know, the understanding that many of us have of the complexities and subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships. You know, people are messy and complex, and actually, in the homosexual world particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, those kind of coming-of-age relationships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are, and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable — a sort of a rock for when they can’t talk to their parents. Some of those relationships are some of the most —
Yiannopoulos: You’re misunderstanding what pedophilia means. Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to someone 13 years old who is sexually mature.
PaulsEgo: OK, febephilia [hebephilia] or whatever.
Yiannopoulos: Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty. Pedophilia is attraction to people who don’t have functioning sex organs yet, who have not gone through puberty, who are too young to be able to understand the way their bodies —
Ah classic pot-kettle GAF. I believe the place is full of loonies as of now. As i've said before, I lurk voat for gems like this, that shows the whole civil discourse blablabla is a blanket statement for what it really is: we ban anything we just don't like to read.

It's not a forum anymore, as per the definition of the word: "a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged."
That right there was a view, an idea. It wasn't welcome. The reasoning? Rustled jimmies. Nothing said there was a lie. There's a lot of predators, and most of the times girls/women who fall victim of a predator it happens because of a lack of suspicion or a vote of confidence over the natural instinct of stereotyping to avoid threats. Stereotyping happens on an almost limbic reaction time in our brain. It's a method of defense. You see a pattern, you react.
So when you see this person:
Your brain will not say: I'm pretty sure this is a very normal and functional human being that has been through a lot in her life and despite all the shortcomings decided to achieve her lifelong dream of identifying herself with the gender she really is.
No, your brain will be like: man with a wig. Fat old man with a wig. pervert. RED FLAG. distress alarms engaging.
And sometimes trying to fight that instinct and neutering it will simply cause a very bad outcome, given that the person in front of you is a biological man that will be able to harm you (from the perspective of a woman). So I understand why some people think it's a very unnecessary risk for a little gain.
People need to understand that our survival in society, given "bad apples" depends entirely on our analytic point of view on how to avoid fatal situations. When I go back home as the night falls, I really don't get close to anybody. I keep my distance. There is no reason to give trust to strangers in expense of your security. And like I said, you stereotype to remove threats. You see a very cozy couple walking together, you don't mind them anymore. You see someone walking his/her dog, same stuff. Women altogether actually. Fat guy who wouldn't be able to follow me one street further if I started running. It's noooormal to use stereotyping to defend yourself from threats.
