Looks like I got called out in one of the threads too, and while some of posts are taken out of context and I could say it was a different time, two things that were shared were really embarrassing.
First, I can't believe I was ever one of those people that made it a point to point out the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia since when I see that kind of post these days I cringe so hard. I spent a lot of energy back then trying to make the case for treating pedophiles instead of putting the attention to victims that they deserve. Ironically I think it was a GAF mod who went too far with that kind of argument that showed me how harmful that focus was.
The second thing was a post that comes off as defending a female teacher who took advantage of a male student. I don't even remember the context there but I'm ashamed that I gave any kind of cover for the perpetrator of abuse.
I'm sure my words back then were harmful to people who read them and if I could go back and smack some sense into myself I would. I apologize to anyone who was affected by my actions.
I'm not even a mod anymore, so maybe I don't even have to address these things, but I felt it important to do so.
