This left puritan crusade against whatever they arbitrarily decide is an icky power imbalance is disgusting. Exactly the same attitude and justifications as the Iranian morality police beating the shit out of women for daring to have their hair showing.
Raphael isn't saying you should lecture them. Raphael is saying that a 20 year old sleeping with an 18 year old should be criminally charged with statutory rape and that the 20 year old should be imprisoned for it. As well, Raphael is saying that two 18 year old sleeping together are committing statutory rape against each other, and should be imprisoned. Raphael might object and say that's not what they meant, in which case Raphael needs to go look at what Age of Consent legally means.
Oh really? You didn't know that kids get prosecuted, put on the sex offender rolls, and sent to prison for having consensual relationships? I guess you were just talking out your ass about things you don't understand regardless of the real harm it does. Fancy that. Not every jurisdiction has Romeo and Juliet laws. Age of Consent means that if you have sex with someone who is not of the Age of Consent, regardless of circumstances, if there's not a specific exception in law you've legally committed sexual assault. "It doesn't get enforced very often" isn't a fucking excuse.

My parents are 11 years apart so if we cancel age gaps I may cease to exist. :scared:
