    dating a 16-year-old when he was 23...

     

    FYI: 16 is the AOC for most states.

     

    Toon, however, targeted a 14-year-old (which is illegal in all states) -- and didn't merely date her, but outright tried to groom her (which is also illegal in all states).

     

    Apples and oranges.

    a fandom that prides itself on love and kindness allowed all of the numbers of things Toon did.

     

    The same fandom that, once they found out, didn't hesitate to report him?

    I just don't understand why everyone is being so defensive about this?

     

    Not about Toon, but about generalizing the entire fandom based on one criminal who just happened to be a member.

     

    As the saying goes, "Correlation does not imply causation."

    A strawman is a logical fallacy used in an argument. Do you see any part of my statement that constitutes an argument?

    An opinion cannot be a strawman.

     

    How is "People who believe in religion don't do it because it is compelling or believable, they do it because it's easy and convenient and they don't care about the truth. Religion gives them the permission to hate who they want to hate, and kill who they want to kill, and ruin what they want to ruin. It is an excuse card for bad behavior and no matter how much truth you put out there no one will let go of it" not a strawman argument? It's generalizing all religious people based on the dogmatists, extremists, etc.; in reality, even many of the former aren't fond of the latter.

    I used to be like you, so much energy about the subject. The problem is you can't educate your way through willful ignorance. People who believe in religion don't do it because it is compelling or believable, they do it because it's easy and convenient and they don't care about the truth. Religion gives them the permission to hate who they want to hate, and kill who they want to kill, and ruin what they want to ruin. It is an excuse card for bad behavior and no matter how much truth you put out there no one will let go of it.

     

    I'm sorry, but that's yet another ironic strawman -- as @Yellow Diamond put it.

    Princess Cadence nearly missed out on her own wedding.  And not only that, it almost cost Equestria its own freedom.  It took alot of tears and toil to fight to stop the wedding, and a last minute Light in the Darkest Hour to save Equestria and save the wedding

     

    And then she had to spend her honeymoon nearly killing herself in a stalemate with Pony!Sauron.
