Imma throw in my opinion on the whole age of consent should be lowered thing: It shouldn't be lowered. Theres almost definitely cases where 14-16 year olds are 'ready' for intercourse, in some cases ready for kids even, but the majority don't even know how to eat right, and so taking responsibility for things like remembering to take the day after pill, wearing condoms (if not to stop pregnancy, to not get STDs) discretion, having the intelligence to not send nudes to the wrong people if not sending nudes at all... And I'm not even gonna go into the number of desperate older men and women who would throw themselves at under developed teens with gifts, promises of living away from their parents, because they cannot get the love and attention they crave from people their own age for totally valid reasons.

Full disclosure, I'm pretty nuisanced. When I had just turned 14 I was a horny fuck just like all the other 14 year olds on the planet (M or F) and threw myself at the first older guy with a shitty car and rented apartment who glanced in my general direction. The dude over the space of a year has completely shaped the mold for all of my future relationships which has in turn ruined all other relationships I've had

So yeah, might be wrong, I don't know, but this is what I think

@Zyra

@applejack Yeah but society has circumvented evolution, I know all of this I'm not an idiot clearly

@Zyra No, it hasn't. If you put an animal in an environment it's not evolved for, it either suffers or dies, and we're partially in both

@applejack.... "No it hasn't... "

"... and we're partially in both"

You've both agreed and disagreed with me there

@Zyra We're both suffering and dying because it's not circumwented, wdym?

We're under replacement fertility, suicides are going up, people work more for less, you need to go into debt to study more for the privilege to work at all, 1/3rd of people are obese, people can't form relationships anymore, deaths of despair, we're losing freedoms, mental illness, everything, dysgenics, falling IQ, raising genetic diseases

This system is *very* actively failing. It's going to be replaced because this isn't what we evolved for

@applejack You and this other guy are just ranting about how much you hate the world and I'm not joining in, you do you on your own feed don't use my thread to push points I didn't bring up, you two aren't even reading what I'm putting otherwise you'd see I'm mostly agreeing with you.

@Zyra

>talks about age of consent

>argues about age of consent due to nature

>"actually nature isn't important"

>argues not going with nature has lead to bad results

>"actually this isnt related"

I don't really know what to tell you
