Daily reminder that all great literary figures were attracted

>>9090177
im attracted to your daughter

>God, the author of the most influential piece of literature, the Bible

13 or 14 was normal age for marriage back then. It'd be dumb to apply today's moral values to judge the past.

>>9090209
then why do people bitch and moan about the holocaust? its in the past.

>>9090189

I kek'd at that part desu

>>9090211
You think most people considered it moral?

>>9090209
are you implying that morality is relative?

>>9090232
of course it is.

>>9090232
Well, some morals change and some don't. Straight murder is always going to be immoral. But age of consent? That's a cultural idea. 18 years old isn't biological adulthood; it's judicial.

>>9090232
Fuck yes. Relative across people and situations.

Even our understanding of what morality IS is debatable.

>>9090232
are you implying it isn't?
if so you might be one of the first people i've ever seen actually go full retard

>>9090177
tldr op needs a justification for jerking off to cp on tor

No kiddie fucking in the epic of gilgamesh. Also, i'm not a pedophile. How will you cope op?

Nice bait. So a few quasi-literary figures were attracted to early pubescent girls (you only have Mohammad for prepubescent). Dante was only a year older than Beatrice, and makes no mention of lusting after her at that time (nor were they ever close). IF Laura de Noves was Petrarch's Laura, he saw her first when she was 17, and they had no intimate contact at all. There is little evidence that Carroll lusted after Alice: read the books. He never bothers describing her or praising her at all, and she acts like a snotty prim little girl. He liked photographing lots of shit, and nude children were seen as symbols of purity in art, so his subject matter isn't as telling as you might think. Nobody's accusing Julia MArgeret Cameron of being a pedo, last I checked. Given the immense scope of literature with no connection to anything like lust for prepubescents, your theory is absurd. The fact you had to include "God" and Mohammad speaks to that.

>Implying Shamhat the harlot was older than 15.

>>9090177
Jesus Christ you people are seriously fucked up

>>9090753
Nah, my dude. Carroll was deffo a pedo.

>>9090425
Fuck it, I'm leaping in. Morality isn't relative. If it was, how could we hold morals?

She was just tsundere

Because morals are social constructs we adopt to make all of our lives run more smoothly. Having a society agree on a social contract, a list of norms as a teacher of mine called them, gives all parties more peace of mind, security, and a sense of unity. Things the human psyche craves and 90% of people are willing to harness their urges to fulfill their end of the social contract so they can receive these assurances.

"""Straight murder""" differs wildly between cultures.

Reddit has an obsession with objective morals, and is also slowly diffusing into this board.

Can confirm that attraction. Except I'm not a writer. But still.

>>9090232
It's contextual which is different.

>>9091010
Morals are social consensus. Is it clear?
