I agree with the underlying sentiment.
However, this seems like one of those comments that’s going for outrage over rationality.
I disagree that it matters, but the point of the controversial statement was that there’s a different term and level level of moral culpability between a person having sex with a 17 year old and the same person raping a 2 year old.
A tweet responding that they’re both illegal misses the point completely.
Genocide is illegal and jaywalking is illegal. We don’t equate them morally just because they are both illegal.
Just like how a person who rapes an infant isn’t morally equivalent to a person having sex with high schoolers even if it’s illegal to do both in your state/country.
