Turns out the post was fake anyway, but that's beside the point. (Pretending it was real,) they asked a question on Reddit, and people gave their honest opinions. That's exactly how it's supposed to work. Also, in the scenario given, one of the parents was already willing to do it, and the other was being a dick about it. See my comment here for more of my thoughts.

For the sake of the argument let's consider your argument in a different context.

If a suicidal person posts a question about whether or not they should commit suicide, should people be criticised for advocating for suicide if they believe that is the correct course of action?

Would you consider condemning this advice justifiable?

Are you suggesting that mob-rule morality is a viable source for advice?

That's why I also made sure to argue that what was being advised was not immoral.

Would you argue that is ok for a girls stepfather to give her a dildo?

Sure, what does that make any difference?

Ok. I get it. Nice trolling.

You got me.

Nope. Not trolling. It's more than possible (even likely in many cases) that a girl's stepfather be more of a father to her than her biological one, what does genetic relation make any difference?

I also disagree with some of the fundamental assumptions that this line of reasoning clearly has, but I don't want to upset the saidit "pedo police". They'll say I'm "sexualizing children" by giving me full, real opinions, which is (now as of a couple days ago where they edited a rule just to target a friend of mine) verboten.
