Looking at you, streamers and angry defenders of Japanese ‘fanservice’ games.

      Not 13 any more. It’s officially 16 now, and that old age of 13 never applied to anyone because every prefecture had a prefectural age of consent set at 16, and the old, national age of consent WAS 13 so no prefecture could go below that. There was NO WHERE in Japan where it was actually legal to have sex with a 13 year old because no prefecture allowed it.

      Get a new talking point.

      And most of the world think that it’s too young.

      Just because something is allowed by law in one country doesn’t invalidate arguments about it being immoral.

      Having sex with animals is “allowed” (by not being illegal) in many countries. I would still argue that it is immoral.

      AoC is not the same as morally appropriate. I am willing to bet that most of Japan would not be ok with a 65 year old man pursuing a 15 year old.

      Also prefectures have different ages of consent just like US states do so in much of Japan you really can’t have sex with a 13 year old even if that is the age of consent.
