@AnimeTradCath @Crankenstein @mushroom_soup @salt Or younger if you can! 18 is an arbitrary number
@salt @Crankenstein @mushroom_soup @AnimeTradCath Does there? Why?
@salt @Crankenstein @mushroom_soup @AnimeTradCath Of course they can consent. "Yes", there you go.
>scientific age where you are developed enough to make your own choices
What's scientific about an arbitrary number you pull out of your ass? Every place has it different, historically it was 7-12.
And that science I have seen on this doesn't go that way:

“Assessing competency to consent to sexual activity in the cognitively impaired population”, by a certain Carrie Hill Kennedy. A “Sexual Consent and Education Assessment” instrument was used, with two dimensions, “sexual knowledge” and “safety practices”, indicating the ability to make safe decisions. Those judged competent had, on average, an IQ of 65 and an adaptive behaviour age of 9.4 years. Those judged incompetent had average IQ 46 and adaptive behaviour age 6.7 years. This would suggest, at an intermediate position, that competence is achieved at around 8.2 years, and IQ 55.
There's no real age where you're independent from the stuff around you, you grow up thinking the same things you were taught as a kid.
If consent is necessary, then it's immoral to force them to spend 1/4th of their lives in school or literally anything else they're forced into. If it's okay because it's for their own good, then the same can be true of marriage.
"Consent matters, which is why I decide that they are not allowed to say yes" is just logically retarded anyway. You can't both hold that stance that consent matters but you're allowed to overwrite theirs
@Crankenstein @D00B @mushroom_soup @salt @AnimeTradCath Explain how that relates to anything. Now, what don't you understand about "fertile at 12"?
@Crankenstein @D00B @mushroom_soup @salt @AnimeTradCath No, they didn't. Even in the 1950s people were marrying their 13yo cousins in the south without issue. Thinking you're a bad person for loving LGs is a completely jewish modern thing
