16 or 17, probably 16. Yeah, that's right, I hate freedom.
I see your point. I just think it shouldn't exist.
In an ideal world, yeah, it shouldn't exist. Is it broken constantly? Yes. I just feel that it is needed at this particular point in time. It helps act as a safeguard between people, and children would be abused if this was removed.
There must be better ways to stop child abuse.
The problem is, is that a seven or eight year-old has much less knowledge then let's say, someone in their twenties.
ADULT: Hey Johnny, how old are you?
JOHNNY: 8
ADULT: Want to play a game?
JOHNNY: What's the game?
ADULT: It's called sex, it's a fun game that makes you feel good.
JOHNNY: Sure, how do you play?
ADULT: You learn as you play... I'll show you...
While this happens IRL, in a world with no age of consent, there'd be
no punishment for this, as Johnny technically gave his consent. And if the adult was sent to jail for this, it would be ridiculous as what he did was technically legal and not rape since Johnny gave his consent.
Theres plenty of options to be worked out with Age of Consent laws, it's more complicated then it first appears.
