shahin7100? I realize that I have just walked into the lion's den, but I really have to say something about this article of yours despite that I realize that you will likely not agree with me and you might even send hate my way, which I hope that you are mature enough not to do. First of all, like so many other people, I feel that the word "pedophile" gets thrown around way too loosely and gets misused way too often for anyone to know whether or not an actual depravity is taking place in a given situation. To the best of my knowledge, Zhang Muyi has never been formally diagnosed as being a pedophile by any licensed mental health professional. He has no criminal record involving sex offenses against children. Zhang Muyi likely hates pedophiles more than you and I do, because he resents people equating him to such human garbage. Second of all, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), someone is only a pedophile if they are 16 years of age or older and are sexually attracted to a prepubescent child more than five years their junior. Zhang Muyi does not fit that same description therein. Now, I'm not going to pretend that his relationship with Akama Miki is the most conventional one, especially by American standards. However, this girl is now in her late teens and he is still in love with her and will likely always be in love with her. If it worked for Rene Angelil and Celine Dion, why can't it work for this couple? He's marrying her, and he wants to build a life and a future with her. I saw the movie titled I Know My First Name Is Steven and became outraged upon finding out about all the atrocities that Kenneth Parnell committed against Steven Stayner from the time the young boy was 7 years old. Kenneth Parnell was every definition of pedophile scum up until he died a decade ago. Zhang Muyi is nothing like Kenneth Parnell and could never be mistaken for him. And, yes, I get it. It may seem strange that Zhang Muyi and Akama Miki's initial involvement in each other's lives began as an instructor-pupil relationship when Akama Miki was only 8 years old. However, let's remember that President Grover Cleveland's involvement in Frances Folsom's life started out under similar circumstances, and he married her when he was 49 years old and she was 21 years old; and they lived happily ever after. President Cleveland was not a pedophile. Moreover, Zhang Muyi did not fall in love with Akama Miki until she was an adolescent. I don't expect you to agree with anything I say, but at least try to see this situation from a bird's eye view rather than from a pop-psychology point of view. The Puritanical Establishment is not always right about everything. Saying that every man over 21 years old who has ever fallen in love with a girl any younger than 18 years old is a pedophile is kind of like saying that everyone with dark skin who speaks Spanish is a member of the MS-13 gang. Zhang Muyi doesn't even live here in the United States of America, and people are actively persecuting him all over the Internet. Instead of going after him, we all need to be going after scumbags like Fleece Johnson. Fleece Johnson is no different than Kenneth Parnell, and yet there are people who find him to be intriguing. That seems so twisted to me. Anyhow, I know that this wasn't the first comment that you hoped to receive, but this is what I observe before me with respect to this entire scenario.
I can`t believe there are still people talking bad about Zhang Muyi over 7 YEARS since the start of the relationship for gods sake they are happy and married together now and he is as you said far from a pedo. for one a pedo or child sex abuser does not go outta their way to marry their victim second they sure as heck would not sit around and stay with said person for YEARS and even respectfully wait those said years till they are ready to get married and such. I mean damn Zhang and Miki relationship was so tame that they never once slept with one another nevermind that never even actually kissed as far as I saw just held hands and did some adorable thing they often did with their fingers where it formed like a sorta heart? or something I do not know you will have to see photos of them see what I am talking about.
But it makes me upset to no end that relationships like these are treated in such a way. Miki is what 19 now? she is gonna be out f her teens at 20 but that is besides the point that stuff aside this relationship was nowhere near pedophilia!! It really gets annoying that people throw around the word and attache it to so much where it does not belong! you use every other word correctly right? so the same should be applied to the use of peodphilia or pedophile. Shame on this author for misusing the term when they should clearly know better and shame on them for even relating this relationship that has stood for years and still going on to something as terrible and twisted as some pedo actually victimizing some small child.
Also haha I was not expecting to this artical at all but I got here through your page haha so hello once again Epicenterdefacto and wonderful comment from you. you pretty much summed everything up something that I myself I feel I would not be able to explain as well as you did and clarify. That and I am tired and exhausted heh I am mentally burned right now so me really putting much down right now is not going to happen. I thought about leaving my own comment here but I really do not have the mindset to do so right now.
Well, naglfar94, outrageously enough, after posting my above reply to this article, I found evidence that this same article may have been plagiarized from another post that I came across on the Quora platform. That is, unless the above Steemian is the same person as the one who posted it on Quora. I actually bookmarked the Quora site from whence the above article was copied. I tried to bring it up again on the Internet just a few minutes ago, but it has been deleted. Why? I don't know. If the Steemian who posted the above article is the same person who initially posted the contents of it on Quora, then I will be the first to apologize to him for accusing him of plagiarism. However, if he did plagiarize it as I suspect, then I think that that on its own is lousy of him.
So this could have possibly been over from another site? and it is possible this one might not even be the author of this? wow damn. It is really strange though that shortly after on Quora the post mysteriously vanished..hmmm I don`t know it just might be plagiarised
I looked around through his other posts on his Steemit channel, and he's actually been flagged by the Cheetah for plagiarism.
Also another glaring thing about this article is the fact that the writer stated that Zhang is the one that came onto Miki and made the first move when it was the opposite and she is the one who initiated things she is the one who confessed her feelings first. Not that it matters because in the end both shared the same mutual feelings and well they have been happy together since but the way things came off here made it seem like they were trying to further demonize him. Thing can`t even keep facts together and get them straight.
