Ironically, that sentence is basically conflating ephebophilia with pedophilia. Rapp was 14 when Spacey made a pass at him.Some media outlets initially bought Spacey’s cynical spin — a dangerous one that conflates gay men with pedophilia.

So the victim has to be between 15-19 for it to be considered ephebophilia. Is this ok to some people? It feels like there is some type of push to normalize this in society.Cap wrote:Ironically, that sentence is basically conflating ephebophilia with pedophilia.

No, it's no OK for an adult to come onto a 14-year-old, but it's also not the same thing as pedophilia, which is attraction to the prepubescent. I just found it ironic that a sentence decrying conflation of different sexual orientations or paraphilias was itself conflating different orientations/paraphilias.In2ition wrote:So the victim has to be between 15-19 for it to be considered ephebophilia.

FWIW, it seems like Rapp handled the situation pretty well in a way that, say, an eight-year-old probably wouldn't be able to.
