If they're 18 is he still a pedo?

Legally? No. Morally? If I knew someone was attracted to an adult they thought looked like a child, I'd never allow them near my child.

Doesn't seem like quite that long ago that grown-ass men were counting the hours until the Olsen twins turned 18.

Not sure if a double-standard, or a change in the times.

It was definitely disgusting then too.

Sex has always been a double standard. Just look at teacher cases. Hot adult woman sexes teenage boy? Trumpets! Hot adult man sexes teenage girl? We must carefully decide the order of torture so he doesn't die too fast!

Technically no, he would just be a regular rapist.

Technically no, but he considers the specific men in the picture to be boys so is still claiming a preference for boys in general.
