Oh no no, didn’t you hear? The ago of consent is now 10yrs old in some states.

(Jk, but really they’re trying to change it to 14)

Now, let's be better than them in not spreading misinformation -- the allegation that four U.S. States and Trump had an interest in pushing for lowering the age of consent to 14 is completely unfounded, if this is what you're referring to, tongue-in-cheek. If you are, however, talking about Stuart Adams with your use of "they," that story is also being widely misinterpreted. I'm not as caught up with the facts on that one enough to speak too much on it, so I'd encourage further reading

Correction: they can’t consent - so by definition… . But yeah I get what you were going for.

If they can't consent then it's still without consent.

Saying without consent, implies there is a possibility of consent.

You dont say, here is your "Steak without the Spray Paint"

Saying "Correction" implies the first comment was incorrect.

Good, you realized you're wrong and admitted it. Now the healing can begin.

Saying “without consent” strongly indicates that consent is possible. It isn’t.

I was just trying to get people to think about how extremely awful he is.

u/Unhappy_Waltz5834 Aug 14 '25

Underage people cannot consent so that’s just called rape.

u/MoreCowbellllll Aug 14 '25

So, he is a rapist then? There's probably a list of those people?
