I can't believe we went full circle into "it depends on the child" - Sargon of AkkadRekieta's comments on Nina Infinity's show last night about claims that Russell Brand dated a 16 year old when he was in his 30s:
Nina says that in these circumstances, it depends on "how mature" the 16 year old is. Rekieta replies that "that's the inherent issue with age of consent laws and why they actually vary" between different states and different countries.
Rekieta allows that there at some point the age threshold would get too low and "most of humanity will agree, like, this is a little bit much", such as hypothetical African countries that have age of consent "horrifically low, like around six", He adds that "it's kind of up to societies to set where they are."
Nick says that if you think the age of consent is too low, "it's amazing", you can disapprove of it personally and you don't need to "dip down into it" yourself!
As for Nick, he tries "to avoid, like, getting overly crazy" and "can't fault" fault someone for doing something that is "not outright ridiculous" and is "wholly legal". He would personally not date someone that young. He claims that England has a society where it is acceptable for a thirtysomething to date a 16 year old and that context should be understood.
