Random curiosity at 2:40 in the morning: legal age of consent.

.......................................................................

Some of the ones in Asia and Mexican cites scare me...

Holy mother of god.
Why are there even any countries with legal consent of 12 years of age...

..............................................................................................

The internet is scary at night.

they're like that because they have different (non-western) cultural views on maturity

though yes it's very scary and it terrifies me

 

[Nah]

there's countries where the legal age of consent is 12?

....when the fuck did this happen o.O

This isn't a new thing, some European countries have surprisingly low age of constants as well. Generally speaking this is pretty frowned upon though, so you never know it might change for the better in the future.

Legal ages of consent tend to go up with time, not down. In Canada it was 12 until 1890, and then 14 until 2008. Now it's 16.
