Introduction Back in 2021, a 16-year old girl, a man in his mid-twenties (Jason Edwards), and a man in his mid-thirties (Lee Strickland) brutally murdered a psychiatrist, Dr. Gary Jenkins, in a park in Wales. The press and the media never named the young girl. The more intellectually bankrupt members of society always make the assumption that if a 16-year-old girl is in the company of older men in their twenties or thirties or even older, then her reasons for being so have to be sexually exploitative in nature. In this particular incident, a 16-year-old girl was a partner in crime with two adult men. It could have just as easily been that this young girl hated psychiatrists, and the two adult men shared that animosity with her; and they wanted to act on their rage. How she met these men still remains a mystery to me. She could have merely overheard the two men talking about how much they hated psychiatrists and wanted to kill one. Here in the United States, the approval rating of the psychiatric profession sits at a noticeably low 38 percent. More and more psychiatrists carry handguns on them. It can be no secret that psychiatrists do not receive the same amount of praise as other doctors do and for very obvious reasons. There have been a number of cases of psychiatrists financially exploiting their patients throughout the years. Therefore, why would the anti-psychiatrist sentiment be any different in Wales? We also have to remember that the above-described 16-year-old girl wasn't necessarily having sex with either one of her two adult partners in crime. Also, just because a 16-year-old girl dates a man in his twenties or thirties doesn't mean that she's having sexual intercourse with him. Teenage girls have been known to wait until marriage before losing their virginity. The other day I stumbled across a YouTuber who goes by the name of "misc." Last October he posted a video titled "two of my old friends from high school are now p3dos." I immediately clicked into the video to see what it was all about. It turned out to be nothing more than clickbait, because it had nothing to do with pedophilia. YouTuber misc appears to be only 21 years of age. ## 2. Fake Pedophilia Disguised As Real Pedophilia When I viewed YouTuber misc's above-described video, I expected it to be a story about a man in his twenties accosting a 5-year-old girl in a playground, kidnapping her, and doing unspeakable things to her. Instead, it was a video about YouTuber misc whining about two of his former friends from high school being in relationships in which there was only a measly four-year age difference between them and their respective girlfriends. Oh, brother! The video is below. YouTuber Misc Spews A Load Of Pedophile-Panic Propaganda To Promote Fake Pedophiliahttps://youtu.be/CjBNNb41v5A?si=htBNmOyjykpi477C Now, before any of you scratch your head and wonder what fake pedophilia is, allow me to explain it to you. Real pedophilia is when someone 16 years of age or older is sexually attracted to a prepubescent child under 13 years of age (under 11 years of age under certain circumstances) that is more than five years their junior according to the Fifth Edition of the *Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders* ("*DSM-5*"). Fake pedophilia, on the other hand, is when someone falsely accuses someone of being a pedophile merely because they're dating a teenager or have romantic interest in a teenager and he or she and that teenager each just happen to be on opposite sides of the legal age line from each other. Fake pedophilia may involve someone sensationalizing such a relationship to be the characteristics of a serial child rapist. This is how crazy these self-righteous do-gooders can get. I've noticed a bizarre pattern of gamers from Generation Z engaging in this practice of promoting fake pedophilia as YouTuber misc has done in his video above. Now, I guess we all have to understand that it's not really the fault of these Gen-Z gamers that they think this way, because, after all, most of them grew up in an environment in which they were inundated with pedophile-panic propaganda from every direction. The older generations had more opportunities to form their own opinions whenever they came across a couple in which the girlfriend was in middle school or high school and the boyfriend appeared to be older than high-school age or merely may have been slightly older than what the young girl's parents approved of. In other words, many Gen-Z gamers are brainwashed individuals who have lost their grasp on reality while sitting in front of their video screens. In this particular case, YouTuber misc insists that his two former friends, Cookie and Tony, who were 20 years old when he found out that their respective girlfriends were 16 years old, have to be pedophiles because of the four-year age difference between them and their respective girlfriends. What nonsense on his part! According to the *DSM-5*, Cookie and Tony don't even come close to being pedophiles. YouTuber misc and his friend, Geo, are clearly taking writer's license with the definition of pedophilia. It's not as though either one of these young men raped a toddler. Their respective girlfriends are not victims despite what YouTuber misc claims in his video above. Both of these girls are in their relationships by choice. Society here in the United States has gone overboard with its pedophile hysteria. YouTuber misc and his friend, Geo, both have what can be best described as Pedophile-Panic Derangement Syndrome. Also, they could be diagnosed with POCD by proxy ("Pedophile-Obsession Compulsive Disorder by proxy"), if such a mental illness were to exist in the *DSM-5*. Once you get beyond the barbed wires of our so-called land of milk and honey, it's common to see 16-year-old girls in relationships with noticeably older men. Almost every European nation has a statutory age of consent of 16 years old or younger with the exception of Ireland, of course. Therefore, you'll see 16-year-old girls walking around with their 20-something and even 30-something-year-old boyfriends everywhere. Other cultures simply choose not to live in a make-believe world of age-appropriate perfection and wholesome purity. Travel to Mexico, and you'll see 16-year-old girls with boyfriends in their thirties everywhere. The same happens in most Spanish-speaking countries. None of those boyfriends get accused of pedophilia, because they're not pedophiles. Once my paternal grandfather's sister told my parents that when she was 16 years old, a 24-year-old man used to flirt with her. She commented that she had no problem with it inasmuch as nobody put age limits on teenage love back then. My great aunt has been deceased for a number of years. May she rest in peace. You realize that YouTuber misc is not thinking straight when you hear him refer to 16-year-old girls as little kids. I mean, come on! Many girls that age are full-figured women. They don't still watch cartoons and play with Barbie dolls. Duhhhh!!!! Below his video, YouTuber misc typed, "Is it really that hard to date somebody your own age? Nasty work." YouTuber misc? If you're reading my article here, allow me to answer your question. Merely because you wish to date within your own age circles doesn't mean that everyone has to follow your so-called example. Everyone experiences life differently. Merely because someone is a non-conformist doesn't make them evil. What it all comes down to is that YouTuber misc is slandering his two former friends, because no decent psychiatrist would ever diagnose either one of them as being pedophiles per the *DSM-5*. YouTuber misc hates these two former friends of his from high school so much that he is only looking to demonize them any way he can think of without paying any mind to the facts. They didn't really do anything bad to him, but obviously he believes they did. What about Cookie lying about being 16 years old? It wouldn't be the first time that a college-age man has ever lied about his age to get permission from a 16-year-old girl's parents to date her. It doesn't make him a monster. It only makes him human. YouTuber misc? Why would you want to report Cookie and Tony to the police as you said in your video? How do you know whether they have violated any laws? They and their respective girlfriends may have not gone all the way, so to speak. Even if they have, would justice really be served from you meddling into their lives in that manner? They're not involved in pedophilia. They have what can be best described as Romeo-and-Juliet relationships. Sending both Cookie and Tony to prison and forcing them on a sex-offender registry are not going to serve the greater good. You only have to watch Norman Michael Achin's video below to know how screwed up the statutory-rape laws are in this nation. Norman Michael Achin Describes A Debacle That A Romeo-And-Juliet Couple Went Through Because Of Upside-Down Lawshttps://youtu.be/AmUzlcDmm4c?si=nQsEgJUVDeO7GsbG YouTuber misc? John Walsh was dating his current wife, Revé Drew Walsh, when he was comfortably in his twenties and she was only 16 years old. Does that make him a pedophile? You know that he was co-founder of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. YouTuber misc? Corey Feldman was dating Drew Barrymore when he was 18 years old and she was only 14 years old. Does that make him a pedophile? He proclaims himself to be waging war against Hollywood "pedophilia," so to speak. However, you would likely never accuse John Walsh and Corey Feldman of being pedophiles. Heaven forbid. They're likely your heroes, because you're probably one of those self-proclaimed child advocates who put people like them up on pedestals. Does anyone believe that Cookie and Tony's respective 16-year-old girlfriends would have been so much better off with 16-year-old boyfriends? I mean, that arrangement didn't work out so well for Bristol Palin. Back when she was 16 years old, Levi Johnston raped her while she was drunk and unconscious. However, because he was the same age as her, somehow he received a get-out-of-jail-free card. It is people like YouTuber misc that are precisely the reason why 18 years old is too high of a statutory age of consent for any nation to have. Police become irresponsibly tyrannical with a statutory age of consent that high. Promoting fake pedophilia becomes a regular thing among the mainstream. The statutory-rape laws in their present form have ruined the United States. Entire communities are being built on the promotion of fake pedophilia and all the violence and chaos that come with it. Now, YouTuber misc? I completely get it. You're definitely not a fan of Dahvi Vanity. However, it doesn't give you the right to go spreading false allegations of pedophilia against anyone without at least first looking up the actual definition of it in the *DSM-5*. Let's get real. Neither Cookie nor Tony molested a 3-year-old girl. So they and their respective girlfriends each are slightly on opposite sides of the legal age line. So what? YouTuber misc, like so many other Gen-Z gamers, lives in a make-believe world of age-appropriate perfection and wholesome purity. He got to participate in the teenage dating scene when he was in middle school and high school, but not every man can proudly say the same thing. Therefore, they may still feel themselves gravitating toward teenage girls after they get into their twenties. It doesn't make them perverts. Now, I do understand that Cookie and Tony peaked in high school, and, yes, that fact would tend to cause me to question why they're still interested in 16-year-old girls if they got to date girls that age without any problems when they were that age. I guess I would have to interview them to know what their reasons are for being with these girls. Then again, it could simply be that they fell in love with them. So then it's not really rocket science to figure it all out. YouTuber misc should read the online publication titled The Paradox of Statutory Rape by Russell Christopher and Kathryn Hope Christopher from beginning to end, and he'll get an accurate perspective on what pedophilia and sexual predation are all about as well as the myths behind them. All the fake pedophilia that gets thrown around in our society is precisely why I hate Dr. Richard von Krafft-Ebing. In conceptualizing pedophilia in the first place, he opened up a can of worms. Fact has it that most 20-year-old men are going to be attracted to 16-year-old girls, even though they may not readily admit to it. YouTuber misc even inadvertently admits to it himself upon posting his video titled "I almost accidentally developed feelings for a minor." I wouldn't doubt that YouTuber misc has watched videos like the one below. A Teenage Girl Shows Her Genetic Beauty On Camerahttps://youtu.be/0BAZ_8BdwTw?si=55Gj5DXcKE4e0JUh The girl in the video above could be 18 years of age or older. On the other hand, she might only be 15 years old. Regardless of whether or not she's a minor, do you honestly believe that someone like YouTuber misc would stop watching the video above if he were to find out that she were a minor? His hormones would not let his so-called moral compass stand in the way of his desires. YouTuber misc shows his ignorance in lumping toddlers in with teenagers in his point about adults needing to avoid cross-pollinating with minors. There is a world of a difference between a 20-year-old man dating a 16-year-old girl and a middle-aged man sexually molesting a toddler. That's for sure. In the comments section to YouTuber misc's video above, a YouTuber that goes by the name of @lebannen6056 posted: > Both these cases don't even come under the definition of p3dophilia so can we please stop using terms where they don't belong? And those two relationships are perfectly legal in the majority of the states, like in around 30 of them and also in the majority of the other developed countries in the world. While I agree that it's not the absolute best, a 4 years gap after 16 is not that crazy either, why are we treating 16 years olds like children? And it's not like the men were 40 years old. I honestly think that this sensationalism is very exaggerated and blown out of proportion, the only thing that I would say it's very bad about this is the guy pretending to be 16, that's not an honest behavior and should absolutely be criticized, other than that there is nothing wrong with dating a 16 years old as a 20 years old, it's not a big gap and they're not children anymore. Now I'm waiting for the mob of angry Id!ots in the responses, do your worst YouTuber @lebannen6056 makes valid points in his post above. Even if Cookie and Tony had been in their forties when they dated 16-year-old girls, it still wouldn't have been the same thing as middle-aged men sexually molesting toddlers. In the comments section to YouTuber misc's video above, @BCgaming replied to @lebannen6056 and posted: > Yeah it’s weird but I was expecting him to say they got caught meeting up with 12 year olds Well, I do agree that Cookie and Tony's age difference with their respective girlfriends would be steeper in that event. However, when Matthew Koso and Crystal Guyer first fell in love with each other, Matthew Koso was 20 years old and Crystal Guyer was 12 years old. They got married to each other two years later, and Crystal Guyer was pregnant with Matthew Koso's baby by then. It did stir up controversy, but most people felt that they should have been allowed to live their lives together the way they wanted. ## 3. YouTuber Misc's True Colors Interestingly enough, in his video titled "I almost accidentally developed feelings for a minor," YouTuber misc reveals that he once found a 16-year-old girl to be attractive when he was 18 years old. He made a mountain out of a molehill in that event. His video is below. YouTuber Misc Describes His Shocking Reaction To Finding Out That A Co-Worker Of His Was Underagehttps://youtu.be/bEdM_UmxiEg?si=nxFouuszNmenCyk- In his video above, YouTuber misc denies that he's attracted to minors. So he says. His experience with this underage co-worker of his is karma coming back at him for lumping teenagers in with little kids as young as toddlers in making his points about underage sex in his video I've embedded herein before the above one. When I was in high school, I knew plenty of 15-year-old girls that were dating 17-year-old classmates. These boys didn't break up with their girlfriends once they turned 18. Some of them even married them later on. When you're a young man and you turn 18, you're not going to lose all interest in teenage girls that are younger than you all of a sudden. You don't automatically grow a light switch on you on your eighteenth birthday that you can flip off every time a hot 15-year-old girl goes walking down the street in a skimpy bikini. You're still the same person as you were a month ago. YouTuber misc was only two years older than this girl named Samantha who had just turned 16 at the time of her conversation with YouTuber misc about her age. Why would he not have been attracted to her? As for YouTuber misc's spiel about wanting a woman to have the same emotional and intellectual maturity as he did when he was 18 years old, let me just make this one point. When a man is 18 years of age, he hasn't forgotten everything about high school. YouTuber misc could have dated Samantha when she was 16 years old, and they both would have found something to talk about. They didn't necessarily have to talk about high school. When YouTuber misc met his co-worker Samantha, he was merely learning that the heart does what it wants rather than what society or even the law expects it to do. Never mind all his lectures about age-appropriate relationships. There's no law against an 18-year-old man dating a 16-year-old girl. Is there any jurisdiction here in the United States where an 18-year-old man can be prosecuted for having sex with a 16-year-old girl? There may be a few here and there, but these laws are constantly under challenge in the courts. YouTuber misc obsessed over whether Samantha was a minor. He underestimates how much power Mother Nature has over each and every male adult. He says that he hated predators. Who doesn't? It's really a matter of not mistaking someone for a predator merely because their behavior may be slightly unconventional. Chris Hansen doesn't know everything. He's nothing more than a TV personality at best. Even Chris Hansen likely gawks at videos like the one below. It could very well be that he got into the predator-catching field because he is obsessed with teenage girls. Teenage Girls Model Shop Styles From This Yearhttps://youtu.be/IkS700C_fq0?si=48eLY5a08GmpHbML The poor younger man in the video below probably didn't realize what he was getting himself into until after the police were pounding on his front door. It's incredible that the prosecution was not even required to establish intent in his particular case. A Young Man Is Sentenced For Having Nude Images Of Teenage Girls On His Computerhttps://youtu.be/LaSIEAu3V5o?si=XGbl42_xaf7QQSpF I understand that underage pornography is a form of contraband, and, in Ohio, it's apparently a strict-liability offense. However, anyone can see that this man in the clip above is clearly not the next Joshua Duggar. He made the improvident mistake of not knowing exactly what he was downloading. The charges against him should have been dismissed. I've heard that there have been cases in which police officers have tunneled into innocent people's computers to plant illegal pornography on them. Of course, that's another article for another time. ![Herbinisaac is the creator of this image/Source: Pixabay](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/03/12/19/36/the-legal-4926021_1280.jpg) ## 4. Final Thoughts In figurative language, there can be no question that Americans obviously had more sexual freedoms in seventeenth-century Salem, Massachusetts, than they do now. It only makes matters worse that there are narrow-minded individuals like YouTuber misc that buy into all of the pedophile-panic propaganda that is out there. Our society has turned into a puritanical black hole for that matter. The best thing that we can do as Americans is to educate ourselves about the realities of our oppressive criminal justice system that thrives financially off of draconian sex laws. Public awareness is our only weapon against this same tyranny. **This article is copyright-protected.**
