The master of trolling is at it again. Hanania:
As of this writing, the results are:
Look at the engagement metrics on this tweet: 94,000 votes, 3.4 million views, 4,700 comments, 273 likes. This might be the most "popular" Hanania tweet of all time.
Now, I am one of the apparent sickos who voted "yes", but I can see some decent arguments for "no". I'm still surprised the results are this lopsided, and I'm also surprised that there appears to be no gender gap.
Anyone who votes no:
I vote no because Epstein getting to indulge his sick desire is inherently bad. Whether or not the girl is better off or not from the exchange is immaterial.
Your morality is evil in that is denies someone of 10M USD because you feel icky about the entire thing.
Your morality is evil because it allows billionaires to rape child prostitutes without consequence.
She consented therefore it isn't rape by defnition.
She's 14 and therefore below the age of consent and therefore sex with her by an adult is rape by definition.
That depends on which country you are in.
If she was 4 then it would be much more obviously evil. 14 is too close to 15 (most common global aoc) for 10M usd not to muddy the picture. I'm sure there are 15 year olds with the mental age of 12. Or 18 year olds with the mental age of 16.
No, money doesn't muddy the picture. It makes it worse.
Prostitution is worse than normal sex. Child prostitution is worse than normal statutory rape.
The use of money and power to achieve immoral ends is itself immoral.
