In Canada the age of consent varies between different provinces, 16 in most and 18 in some. Hence whether one is a "literal pedophile" for having consensual sex with a 17 year old is a mater of a train or bus ride.

The mere fact that I know the law is very "sus", because it suggests I intend to prey on minors. "Oh I bet you're an expert in the distinction between pedophile and ephebophile, yeah, you studied it veeeery well"

They don't mention the race of the perpetrator nor the victim on that one.

They always do when it's the other way round.

The media is a fucking disgrace stoking up racial tensions by doing that, BTW.

If they didn't mention anyone's race, how do you know what the "other way round" is?

unless you believe race is a social construct

When it's the other way round the race is mentioned in the headline and in the opening paragraph.

both npr so yeah

tbh though i think it's good reporting

i believe that it's much more likely an old white guy shot that kid in part because he's black than that black guy had a racist motive

npr put a very likable photo up of the white kid who was shot and an ugly shot of the shooter

it's when they play the not releasing the ethnicity of minority criminals altogether that bothers me

if it's a non-issue or even not worth letting the reader decide i guess our race problems are over
