Can we have some explication of this card thing please?
I'm trying to decide if I should feel horrified
The bearer of this card is entitled to bang one (1) 17 year-old woman, without interference from overly-protective father figures. This voucher may not be exchanged for other goods or services or refunded, and may used in conjunction with another voucher or other offers. Terms and conditions apply.
age of consent is usually a hard line, around ~16 years old
this would lead to it being criminal as a 16 y/o to bang your 15 y/o sig. other, and you could actually get charged with statutory rape by their parents or something if they were jerks
so states give some wiggle room on the age of consent for people around the age of consent line - so that a high schooler banging another high schooler is ok
tbh my main takeaway from the Rose McGowen article was "oh thank god she's an awesome person I respect that is 41 I feel ever so slightly less old"
because for reals the number of people who make me think "hey this is a neat talented person who is awesome" has started skewing towards people younger than I am to a disconcerting degree lately
(also that was my main takeaway because I am already very aware how shitty hollywood treats women and especially women who aren't in their 20s in a pushup bra (whom also get treated poorly but are at least in the running for a job (seriously fuck you, hollywood)))

I find the term predator in this context incredibly unhelpful
it others
a better term is exploiter
exploitation
it correctly places them in a context inside the established order and in a position of relative power and privilege

I will do my part - here, have this picture of a medieval monkey firing a coconut out of its bum:
Edit: Or getting shot in the bum with an arrow, I guess.

It's played perfectly straight and serves no purpose other than Michael Bay going "giggidy giggidy!"
I'd call it a "comedy" moment.
Quotation marks are essential.

If two houses are alike in dignity, it's OK for their underage kids to bang
Might be only a statute in fair Verona, though

Sex with under 18 => statutory rape.
R&J supplies some exceptions to this supposition.
It's the color correction that is racist
The hard line is so that 40 year olds aren't fucking 14 year olds.
The exception is so that 15 year olds can.
It's basically the only sensible way to write laws like that.
So you can play the Mongoltage.
Because sex is icky and gross and children need to be protected
moral panic + response to increasing awareness of organized predation

The solution is to discuss Western Cartoons. Like the Communal ownership of Sudrian transport infrastructure.
