Kelsy Brainard, 18, a student of the $70,000-per-year Roman Catholic institution in Worcester, Massachusetts
Now it makes sense, they're rich kids looking for an excuse to beat someone up
I want to know how they pronounce “Worcester”.
you know it's some shit like Wooou-stah.

a 22 year old was beaten up for dating an 18 year old
they were a us troop
This is just plain liberalism of not having any actual convictions and not knowing why age gaps are actually bad in the "adulthood" beyond the reflexive and visceral "hurr pedo bad you're literally Jimmy Saville if you're 19 hanging out with 18"
fr a 22 year old is still just a fuckin kid. I'm 40 this year and I would never ever consider dating a 22 year old. 30 maybe, but like how can you have anything in common with someone 20 years younger than you power dynamics aside. All that said 22 and 18 is a lot better than the relationships a lot of my girl friends as a teenager got into.
Edit: okay it was a troop fuck him he deserved the beating even if it was for the wrong reasons.

Liberals who infantilize women should be called out for their misogyny. Just ridiculous how they treat adult women like they’re still children. 
and no one cares about my poor groomed boy 
A group of Assumption University students...
well, at least they are living up to the alma mater's namesake.
the reasons for the beating are obviously wrong, however, upon further reading he was an army soldier... so 
College senior hooks up with college freshman? Possibly worthy of teasing by peers.
Meanwhile actual pedophiles flying under the radar: 
Pretty amazing that the USA is both beating up people for dating someone slightly younger and putting them in positions of power.
Meanwhile known pedophiles sitting in congress
Power dynamics. Do you disagree?
Seriously though, this is fucking stupid. I can't believe I'm saying this but I don't think they were justified in mob beating this US soldier. Stay within your race and birth year is the message we'll all be getting soon, then? Is anti-age gap really a common thing now among younger people?
I would figure maybe this was caused in part by conservative Catholic anti-sex brainworms and young guys feeling ownership of women their age and jealous that their classmates are dating older guys instead of being their Catholic trad wife. Hook up with a guy a few years older and we'll lynch his ass? That's the message.
I feel like we're splitting hairs here the correct takeaway should be imo that it's always ok to beat up a US soldier
You're right, Comrade. I take back what I said.
Their desire to beat a US soldier was justified but their analysis was wrong.
ok nvm i stan them good job 
conservative Catholic anti-sex brainworms and young guys feeling ownership of women their age and jealous that their classmates are dating older guys instead of being their Catholic trad wife
This is 1000% it
When I was a young man I thought I was "raised Catholic" because my Catholic parents took me and my siblings to church weekly until we were each 18. But the older I got, the more I realized how fantastic they were at shielding me and my siblings from Catholic brainworms, after seeing what actually happens to the actual "raised Catholic" victims.

Yeah this is too much. If he was like 40 or something going after an 18 year old it'd raise my eyebrow but a 4 year difference, 18 and 22? C'mon.
why is always when some shit like this gets posted i see a bunch of reactionary comments on hexbear like 'oh well i guess we all have to date someone born the same SECOND as us HUH? I better tell my WIFE I'm a P*DO because there's two years between us!!' like come the fuck on
i get it, idpol's gone wild and the youth are nutso but do you really have to throw out the nuance?? maybe i'm misreading things but it feels like some of yall get really defensive when this topic comes up, and as a result we can never have any valid discussion about this topic without someone throwing some reddit-level bad faith thing at you for saying 'yes, there is some truth to age-gap discourse'
maybe i'm misreading things
No, it's definitely the vibe
I'm only seeing one set of comments like that, and they're definitely satirising those redditorisms rather than being reactionary.
you missed this one https://hexbear.net/comment/5812044
and this one https://hexbear.net/comment/5811125
and this one https://hexbear.net/comment/5811178, specifically sooper_dooper_roofer's comment
and as for what you've linked, where you're reading 'satirising' i'm reading 'taking something to a logical extreme to show how ridiculous it is', and it's definitely pointed at this discourse and not at redditorisms
Gonna be real, when I read
i see a bunch of reactionary comments on hexbear like 'oh well i guess we all have to date someone born the same SECOND as us HUH? I better tell my WIFE I'm a P*DO because there's two years between us!!'
and
do you really have to throw out the nuance??
together I don't expect you to mean any of those comments. Just go reply to them instead of vagueposting.
I guess I see what you mean about the ones I linked, but I'm inclined to give them some benefit of the doubt from being on Hexbear.
A lot of he/him pronouns in this thread 🤔

18 and 22. Both college aged young adults. Such a terrible age gap.
