He had a certain fan base here and some weren't gone on him.
He disappeared very fast last year and now he's about to sue Twitter.
That all depends on the Jurisdiction.
Problem here is that some posters just want to label this 17 year old a “child” and not at all consider that not all 17 year olds are the same.
Some are very immature emotionally, as well as physically. But some are very mature both physically and emotionally.
but to dare consider this means a narrative/agenda may not be as sinister as some want it to be. And they can’t allow that, because that would mean that these 20+ year old males may be viewed less abhorrently.
No it doesn't, its my opinion.
I’m inclined to agree with you, though I wouldn’t go as far as to say it was sinister as that implies that he was breaking the law. But I doubt he was texting her to chat about her homework.
Lobby to get the law changed then. But that may fall afoul of young people wanting it to be 16.
Hes late 20s not some 20yer old. Age and maturity are generally intrinsically linked.
This is you suspecting sinister intent by default
Change what? Its McDermott who is the problem here not the age of consent, unfortunately cant change peoples behaviors.
so put the age of consent to 20 if he was 10 years older in this case same issues yes ?
Yep 100%.
So age consent at 16/17, 17 here in Ireland is not the problem? So if it it’s not the problem, is it that age difference is now the problem, or some people’s problem?
would you be in favor of age related laws for sexual relationships between people?
Suppose your own daughter was in the top 5% of girls for her age in terms of maturity.
At what age would you be alright with a 27 year old sniffing around and sending her messages? 14/15/16/17? younger/older?
Why should it be changed just because some odd ball men are out there messaging people much younger and less mature then them. Again mcdermott is the problem so we dont need sweeping change that affects teens engaging in legal activity.
They were engaging in legal activity.
Obviously age is the problem, iv always stated that. This type of scenario is not common as not too many weirdos like McDermott out there so laws would not be necessary for fringe blokes like McDermott.
I’d say 16/17/18 I’d not be mad if my mature daughter was involved with an older person. I’ve answered this before. Can’t really know until the situation presents.
What about a huge 17 year-old ruby player lad ?
"teens engaging in legal activity", ok McDermott was using a loophole in the law so to get his odd kicks, ill put it like that.
I'd say that when she is 16 and it isn't hypothetical any more, you probably wouldn't be happy with a 19 or 20 year old sniffing around her, never mind a 27 year old.
What loophole in the law ?
"Huge" as as in big mickey?
Wouldn't happen.
All the rugger buggers have small mickeys.
Don't worry about it, we wont agree.
You made my Night hats off my good man. 🤣
The famous imaginary one
She probably bought a round of drinks out of her childrens allowance.
Btw eoghan cant just decide he isnt woke anymore. Does as i say and not as i do sort of stuff.
Nah she was a school child. He knew. This kinda thing was what he preached against.
It amazes me the amount of people who'd defend a 27-year old man sleeping with a 17-year old girl. Immediately makes them suspect, in my opinion.
Oh don't get me wrong did not know much about the fella. Know he is woke now but still I have to side with the law in this case He maybe a hypocrite but noting illegal. I would say the same if a case was before the courts wait till a ruling.
Edit just to add I would be well known not to be an ally of wokness.
100 percent. Nobody is saying he didnt anything illegal. Its the hypocrisy and creepy carry on most have an issue with.
I can remember almost exactly 20 years ago I was 27, and frequented the local pub/cafe during the day.
Got friendly with a very attractive young waitress who after a while realised was only 17.
There was definitely chemistry but I didn't act on it because it would have been socially awkward with her friends and mine, and I felt there would have been a power imbalance; she was about to start college I had my own home, good job and had been around the block a bit.
To deny the how normal the attraction is is a bit daft though.
Red hair to wtf was I thinking 😕
Well My morality is fluid like a lot of people can change from issue to issue. Even can be contradictory but I'm only human. and in the case of false claims I normally go with the person that has been targeted. They happen to be a woke person this time. Could be a right wing next time.
