Yes, @mattyglesias.bsky.social has also argued, in The Atlantic (of course), that older men pursuing sexual relationships with sixteen year olds is not pedophilia.

I get it - it's far cushier & easier to build parasocial relations retweeting Ezra Klein or David Brooks or Ross Douthat or Matty Yglesias or Ben Smith or Bedbug Stephens or Tom Nichols or Popehat and have their shitty takes pass for your own, than to meaningfully ally w/marginalized groups

This is why the "Matt Yglesias Follower" bsky labeller is so useful: it identifies other unreliable narrators that buy into his bullshit
