You are absolutely not tripping. This guy is a pedophile that spends his time making posts that all eventually feed into the idea that it should be normal and OK for adults to hook up with under-age teenagers. Please report him wherever you see him, I’m happy to share the sleuthing I’ve already done with any instance admin that is having second thoughts.
It’s very disappointing. They seem to be testing the waters, for example this guy won’t outright promote pedophilia, instead he’ll make arguments such as:
teenagers over 14 are fully developed young adults
it’s bigotry to treat them like children
it harms and infantilizes teenagers over 14 to treat them like children
the brain is fully developed by 14, the rest is just a myth
power imbalances between adults and teens are a myth
puritans are to blame for the hysteria against age difference in sexual partners
hysteria around pedophiles today is the same as the witch hunts of the past
child beauty padgents are just kids playing dress-up and harm nobody
punishment for adults who have sex with teenagers over 14 is disproportionate for a crime that hurts nobody
…etc. Nothing he says is technically illegal so he’s banking on everyone going along with it on this technicality. At the end of the day, this is a 50+ year old dude with a squeaky voice that is trying to make a case for how he should be able to have sex with 14 year olds. He is (somewhat) indirectly promoting pedophilia and can fuck right off.

Gross dude why do they slip into the fediverse?
