Not an excuse absolutely, but just some things that I think you do need to put into context. Like there is a line somewhere right? 18 and 16 too weird? 18 and 15? 20 and 17?Well, if you want to talk about that, then you open up a whole new can of worms about what really constitutes an adult versus a child. Most countries now consider an adult to be 18 years old, but there isn't some magical age where everyone just stops being a child and becomes an adult. Some people reach an adult level of maturity around 12 or 13, while others might not reach that same level of maturity until their late 20s or 30s. That said, sexual exploitation of minors is NEVER okay, and for the purposes of the laws of most countries, that means people under the age of 18, but the issue is a lot more convoluted than that in reality.
Ya, agreed on all points. I was kind of touching on the first bit mainly.
Basically I think people have to realize this fetish skews really young so I don't think the reason for underage content is that we have some huge pedo problem, I think the reason is that there are so so many teens and high school bullies, nerds, popular girls, and cheerleaders are like the bread and butter of the fetish.
Of course though I think all stories and photos should be like "all characters 18+" but I don't think the high school setting itself or the stereotypes are harmful.
