"so having sex with 15yo is hardly an CSAM" Love it when the right moves the goal post. "Well actually, 15 is fine".

what does it have to do with right? you think 15yo leftist kids don't have sex? btw. I didn't say it's fine, I said it's not CSAM and it's legal in most of the western world, so it's not really relevant for the article we discuss here in AU the age of consent is 16

  15 is age of consent in most of western world? not sure what 'west' you are talking about. Did you keep going so far west you ended up in middle east? Might have agreed with 16, a lot of US states in the 'south' have 16. There is a pattern, the more backward, and religious a region, the lower the age is ok.

    US is one country, NGAF about your states here you have Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Europe#/media/File:Age_of_consent_-_Europe.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Europe#/medi... here you have western world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world#/media/File:The_Western_World.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world#/media/File:The_... Canada, AU and NZ have all 16, nobody cares about one year difference, find someone else for your nitpicking

      Dude. A lot of people care about 1 year, especially courts and lawyers. If we wanted to get actually detailed. We'd probably need to also differentiate between laws that try to protect kids, like if 17 year old boy and 16 year old girl, is different situation than 45 year old man flying them to an island. There should be effort to not victimize young men that are just 1-2 years on other side. The issue is, why are Republicans rabid about protecting kids until a Republican politician is caught flying them around and crossing state lines. Then people come out of the woodwork with "well actually in ancient times 12 was old enough, indubitably".
