I really wish people on this goddamn website understood how age of consent laws work. They AREN’T a “this is the age any legal adult can fuck you” (unless they’re the same as the age of majority, which in places like Cali they are) they ARE a “this is the age in which two minors can engage in sexual contact without potentially getting misdemeanors for it” the age of consent being 13,14,15 IS NOT TO PROTECT ADULTS HAVING SEX WITH TEENAGERS, IT IS TO PROTECT TEENAGERS HAVING SEX WITH EACHOTHER FROM LEGAL CHARGES and even THEN if they aren’t close enough in age (say 14 yo girl and 17 yo boy) the laws will not apply and it’s still considered a criminal action in many cases.

Pedos on this damn website love to scream “the age of consent in Japan is 13!!!” But it’s not because they consider 13 yo’s adults and ur twenty something neckbeard self would still go to fucking jail holy shit

Same deal with Call Me By Your Name, all sorts of fucks on here tried to claim “the age of consent is 16 in Italy!! You guys just don’t understand other cultures stupid Americans” the age of majority in Italy is, you guessed it, 18. You know, like most countries.

Age of consent laws do not protect grown adults from preying on children, stop hiding behind them like they do
