but I am unsure whether I'd call him a predator (of course, language differences apply, too). That's just because I need words to express the predatory nature of people like Maxwell who prey on teens and YA.

What do you mean by this? Beahm was preying on a minor by sexting that minor and asking to meetup at twitch con. Are you specifically referring to people operating child sex rings? In either case, I don't think anyone else uses your ultra-specific definition. For myself, and I assume most others, pedophiles are merely a type of predator. For example, the show, to catch a predator, was about creeps sexting kids online. This is precisely what Beahm was doing so I don't think it's unreasonable to call him a predator.

Very true. I've seen no info regarding the minor's age, which honestly is probably a good thing. The victim's identity should be protected.

Twitch con was in California. And in the legal sense, almost an adult is a minor. So yes, this is a crime. And immoral. And worse than cheating. And yes, I'm ok with personally attacking pedos and those who defend them.

Also a lot of those states use age-gap/romeo and Juliet laws. In most states it's illegal for a 38 year old man to solicit a minor.

Raped at twitch con is better than raped in an alley? Jesus fucking Christ.

I'm guessing libertarian and pedo, you probably don't actually give a shit about Beahm.

So you agree that Beahm is a pedo? You replied to a person that does not think he is a pedo with "fair take". Maybe you replied to the wrong person.

The country is America dumbass. Age of consent is 18 in America. She was a minor, he was trying to solicit her at twitchcon. If you want to go the legal angle, that is a crime.

That's not societal definition, that's the clinical definition. But If you want to be pedantic, yes you are right. He's actually an ephebophile, which is still detestable and is still illegal, still immoral, and still very fucking creepy.

Sexting a child is wrong. How is that hard for you to understand?

Are you a Doc fan? Are you a pedo/ephebophile? Libertarian? What's going on here?

Speaking of ruining it for everyone... Paid Plex shares do exactly that for those of us using Plex for friends and family.

He admitted to sexting a minor. How the fuck is he not guilty and why are you out here trying to defend pedophilia?

No it's not. Beahm, a 38 year old man at the time, was sexting a minor. That makes him a pedo.

It's called statutory rape. And he was married and 38 at the time. And he was also trying to meet this person at twitch con. And this is the same year of twitch con that he was caught cheating on his wife.

No amount of spin makes this OK. Please stop trying to justify pedophilia in defense of your favorite streamer. Sexting a minor is not ok, and the fact that even Beahm himself couldn't spin this in a way that's good for him should tell you something.

I'd be willing to bet humans also innately believe the earth is flat (in your day-to-day life it certainly doesn't look like we're on a spherical object hurling through space), but that doesn't make it so.

I'm sure they do, likely have their own internal security team as well as contract security work out. The purpose of hiring hackers isn't to make the company unhackable, it's to make it harder, more time consuming and costly to hack the company.

Science is that and so much more. Any imbecile can question the curvature of the earth. But if they aren't actually building a model, formulating a falsifiable hypothesis, testing that hypothesis with a reproducible experiment, and publishing their findings for peer review, then they're not doing science. That is pseudo-science and you are just a member of a cult.
