Sorry, but this is a particularly terrible case of kids being interested in kids their own age, and deserves the death penalty. Can we still crucify them?

This should be a crime, and there are victims. But it's not on the same level as something like revenge porn or actual CSAM. It's damaging for the victims, but it's a hell of a lot less damaging when you can legitimately say, "that's not me".

We need to not be hysterical and find a reasonable middle ground. There needs to be consequences, but not so harsh that these boys can't have a normal life.
