If we are pedantic, I’m not sure if “children cannot consent” is correct. Children at 16 are mature enough to give consent in legal context, we as a society just frown upon older adults mingling with them.
Legally speaking children can’t consent, which is why it’s illegal and the basis of my statement. I wasn’t being pedantic, I was showing a new terminology.
Different legislations have different consent ages, but in the internet we should go by the highest one since anything can be viewed from anywhere.
When I was 16 I would have totally posed for porn and I would have been completely consenting. But it would have been illegal. I wonder where we should draw the line, and if the current one is the best one.
