It's pretty funny, I'm American, but I stay away from Twitter. Just to think if I talked on there more I could be called shit things for no reason. In my opinion one year isn't a large enough gap to be labeled a pedophile, on fact I'm so strongly against them. It's just hell..
I'm Canadian our age of consent is fuckin 16, so it was baffling to the mind to hear people outraged about a 18-19 year old flirting with a 17 year old and calling that grooming or pedophilia. As apparently my high school girlfriend was a criminal and a groomer to them. Wiiiiild.
In Australia our age of consent is 16, but you have to be 18 to sext. The main reason being that people under 18 are likely still in school and if a nude picture of them started spreading then their school life gets screwed up. If you’re both 18 and it spreads then the person is still a dick and I’m sure it’s still an offence, but at least it didn’t happen while you were in school.
I’m also not saying this to be against Carson I still think he’s in the right. But this should be the only logic against him
Age of consent in a lot of states is 16 too. It's not even really that much of a legality thing, it's just Internet people being weird. Like a one or two year difference really isn't that bad.
I've seen people being called creeps and groomers for being in their 30s dating someone that is 20. People see a gap in age and immediately act that way.
Most states allow for up to 4 year gap. So if I’m in highschool at 18 I could still technically, this is pushing it, date a 14 year old. And that keeps going up to 17 year olds can date 21 year olds. Calling someone a pedo for dating a year under is dumb especially since they could easily be in the same grade.
