    and let pedophilia be the term for all “under age of consent” stuff

    Then come the Germans and say that 14 is legal in their country.

      Age of consent doesn’t matter in this context, it’s the difference in age that does. An 18 years old having sex with a 17 years old isn’t a pedophile. In Canada the age of consent is 16, if you’re 40 and having sex with a consenting 16 years old you’re still trialled as a pedo if the person changes their mind and press charges.

      Luckily, I’m American so I can pretend Germany doesn’t exist, like I do the rest of the world 😘
