collapse of the old society

We talking about me saying 17-yo's aren't sexual children?

40 of 50 US states disagree.

As of April 2021, of the total fifty U.S. states, approximately thirty have an age of consent of 16 (with this being the most common age of consent in the country), a handful set the age of consent at 17, and in about eleven states the age is 18.

But let's see what our European friends have to say!

The majority of countries set their ages in the range of 14 to 16; only four countries, Cyprus (17), Ireland (17), Turkey (18), and the Vatican City (18), set an age of consent higher than 16.

Oh god. I hope you did not read that last bit. I am so sorry.

tl;dr: Just because you were an incel at 17 doesn't mean the rest of the world was. Keep white knighting! Someone, someday, will throw you a pity fuck.
