Why are you trying to inject a terminology discussion into this? Everybody here is clear on what was going on. These were children who were trafficked as sex slaves. It isn't a debate. You're either part of a troll farm, or just a willfully dense individual with no actual social skills.
The post litterally contained "why is the press inventing the term..." I mean it is right there inviting a terminology discussion. But also, the lack of proper termonology has given defenders of rape an argument to distract from the crime. I want that taken away, and I want it clear what they did so people don't just wave their hands and say... "but was it really"...
No, the post is very clear. The press is minimizing what happened. It doesn't at all invite a terminology discussion. You're being downvoted to all hell bcz you've doubled down on your stance no matter who you are talking too.
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Failure to look deeper then what you expected to see is why these problems with terminology and communication exist.
There is no problem here.
