I dont like jerry seinfeld at all but implying that he is a pedo is completely unsubstantiated. I think the scandals here are gross but everyone is clearly above the age of consent.
It’s still fucking gross. He was almost 40 and dating someone far less mature, rich, powerful, and famous than he was. A young person doesn’t magically grow up the day they turn the age of consent in their home state.

True, I was being hyperbolic. 17 is the age of consent in New York, so he was skimming REEEEALLY close to the line.
Not everything legal is ethical.
And not everything illegal is unethical. (But dating a 17 year old when you’re 38 definitely is.)
Agreed

I completely agree, I just think that the term pedophile is “charged” enough that it should be carefully applied
Honestly same, it’s basically become code for “Person I don’t like.”
Especially as it keep getting applied to people like Leonardo DiCaprio who’s “victims” are… people literally over the age of consent.
