The KoTH reboot isn't out yet. You may be thinking of Beavis and Butthead
16 is the age of consent in most countries. Even a surprisingly large amount of US states have it there.
In mine the age of consent is "16" or within 5 years of your current age. Whichever is lower.
You'd still get a lot of weird looks, social ostracization, and mean comments but it'd be legal.
We actually had a case recently where a 16 year old had sex with a 45 year old in the latter's van and the police couldn't do anything because according to her she consented and 16 is within the age of consent here.
Raising concerns about whether the age should be raised. But no one expects anything to be done about it. I mean this state has a lot of Republicans in charge and I'm sure some of their mistresses are about to turn 16 themselves...
The Church actually has a lower rate of child abuse than public schools....
Sadly there are a lot of weirdos who think ANY AGE GAP AT ALL is basically the same as pedophilia
Disgusting.
Sadly as a transwoman I have heard "You should have left the kids alone!" From ex-friends who were Pro-Trans until it became "Support transpeople or support Trump", then suddenly every dirty lie they knew not to believe became truth.
I was disgusted, a former ally suddenly and without evidence starting seeing his many transfriends as paedos
This.
Plus it's self defeating. Too often when they find real predators, the evidence is tainted by the way it was collected by idiots who have no idea what they're doing.
Good idea
Yupes, good old “benevolent” sexism.
God I'm reminded of anytime I watch something from the 90's and then an asian character shows up....
It's not that I'm racist and go into "WOKE MOBS TOOK MY WHITES AWAY!!!11111" mode
It's that for the longest time in America, media was blatantly racist against basically everyone and in the 90's, the cold war was over, the best electronics came from Japan, so the media was trying (and failing) to learn how to be not so asiaphobic. This didn't mean "Don't do stereotypes!", this means "Do positive stereotypes"
So every show either had the one asian cast member or that one episode where the asian character showed up, and you could just HEAR the writers saying "Oh no, so he's very proud of his heritage and is very smart, so it's a positive thing. That makes up for his dialogue sounding like fortune cookies that have been put through google translate fifty times!"
And then you went into the 2000's and this also became how they wrote black characters.... Irwin from Billy and Mandy, Tucker from Danny Phantom, The Dino Thunder Blue Ranger, Richie from Static Sh.... wait.. Richie was the token white guy (In an amazing show I might add, god I should re-watch Static Shock)...... Well my point still stands, they're all the same fucking character "Oh no he's really dorky and super smart, so it's the exact opposite of the stereotype is the joke!"
Doing the exact opposite of the stereotype still calls attention to the stereotype, god damn it!
Miles Morales has shades of this too, but he's nowhere near as insufferable as these characters and is far more believable as a "Black Nerd" than any of them.
Sorry, I remembered "Benevolent Racism" when you mentioned benevolent sexism, and that awakened that.
It's really weird when the 90's show you're watching is based on an Asian Property and it does this nonsense, because I look at characters like "Kong Fu" from Donkey Kong Country, or the one episode of Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog where Scratch and Grounder become "Ninja Robots" by draining the asianess from this Samurai Crane (I know samurai aren't ninjas, but tell the show that), and I'm like... "Wow, I wonder how Shigeru Miyamoto and Yuji Naka felt if they ever saw this shit... Except fuck Yuji Naka, he's a bit of a dick.... The AoStH Episode is still fucked up though."
