also worth pointing out that the age of consent in her country is 12. dunno about cultural standards but i find the fact that the american age of consent has become universal to be fascinating.

soon europeans will shame teens for drinking under 21. https://twitter.com/JekoJekoUEM/status/1279851538152935424

in the end age of consent is an obvious compromise for legibility. people mature at different rates and there are incredibly immature (both physically and immature) 18-year olds that you shouldn't lust after. similarly some 16-year olds are practically adults.

*both physically and mentally. i suck at typing.

age difference matters a lot too. typical 20-yo lusting after a typical 16-yo is fine in my book. 40/18? eeeeeek.
