KiA2 MetaAnyone got that list of postmodern "no age of consent" quotes from Derrida et al. that we're apparently not allowed to post on Reddit?

So I was watching a recent Sargon video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRRnZ_7X-5k ) and I was reminded of that set of quotes that gets you in trouble on Reddit. I did a bit of digging over on Reddit but - perhaps unsurprisingly - just hit more general stuff from torontoLDtutor:

And there's only so far I'm willing to search to hunt up something specifically talking about how great it is to violate kiddies, y'know? Does anyone have that quote block handy so I don't need to keep looking? (I'll try saving it somewhere I remember this time.)

/u/TentElephant 's block is the one you're thinking of, I think:

This is what got him suspended from Reddit for like 3 days:

Oh you want to talk about pedophillia? Lets see what the prophets of post modernism have to say...

Like communists and homosexuals in the 1950s, boylovers are so stigmatized that it is difficult to find defenders for their civil liberties, let alone for their erotic orientation.

-Gayle Rubin, Thinking Sex

It is not necessary to figure parent-child incest as a unilateral impingement on the child by the parent, since whatever impingement takes place will also be registered within the sphere of fantasy. In fact, to understand the violation that incest can be and also to distinguish between those occasions of incest that are violation and those that are not ­it is unnecessary to figure the body of the child exclusively as a surface imposed upon from the outside... The reification of the child’s body as passive surface would thus constitute, at a theoretical level, a further deprivation of the child: the deprivation of psychic life.

-Judith Butler, Undoing Gender

But, after all, listening to a child, hearing him speak, hearing him explain what his relations actually were with someone, adult or not, provided one listens with enough sympathy, must allow one to establish more or less what degree of violence if any was used or what degree of consent was given. And to assume that a child is incapable of explaining what happened and was incapable of giving his consent are two abuses that are intolerable, quite unacceptable.

-Michel Foucault, The Danger of Child Sexuality

tl;dr Not fucking children is child abuse.

Note: I am not supporting pedos. You are still a bad fortune teller.

Ah, the third was Foucault, not Derrida. Such a mistake, I'll never be able to show my face at fashionable parties again!

Thank you!

This stuff makes me cringe, but people should be allowed to argue it as long as they are not committing or enabling abuse.

I have absolutely no problem with them saying it. Indeed, I appreciate it when they do because it makes it easier to see the horrible, horrible people.

Nobody is suggesting they shouldn't be able to argue or say whatever they want. That doesn't mean it isn't sick and illustrative of the types of people these are.
