I'm having a little bit of a hard discussion with @Fortuna right now about UK's Age of Consent laws, it's 16 but in our country, the age of majority applies more. However, Fortuna disagrees and is acting like he knows better over the situation. Being a resident of the UK, I've always assumed that the age of consent is 16, but the age of majority is 18 and a 16 year old can't have sex with a 42 year old, here is what Fortuna has to say:

Theres been cases of people like Lionmaker, an infamous Minecraft youtuber exposed for sexting a 16 year old girl who many believe to be a pedophile. Some people even think that sexting a 17 year old is pedophilic, the hard line is 18 and always has been 18, but you are telling me that the age of consent only applies and the age of majority means nothing in the equation?

I think Fortuna is wrong, but I want someone to help me further this discussion.
The age of majority applies, a 16 year old can court with an 18 year old and a 17 year old, maybe a 19 year old? Maybe not? But definitely not a 20 year old or a 42 year old. But Fortuna thinks that a 42 year old totally not a pedophile can fuck a 16 year old, I think he is wrong.

Age of consent should be 18, age of majority should be 18. I think the age of consent should overrule the age of majority, however both should ideally be the same. I think this is the case in a few countries like India and Turkey. And while those don't exactly... paint the BEST picture, I still think this is the case.

Read sections 16 to 24 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. They discuss how anyone above the age of 18 in a position of power may not have sex with anyone under 18. Why would they add that if you couldn't have sex with someone who was 16 when you were above 18 anyway?

That just seems like to me that the age of majority applies? What are you getting at?

Yeah, it's weird. Pedophilic, sure. But it's not illegal in the UK is my point.

Perhaps it should be? I mean if basil was british which I feel like he was or might have been, he shouldn't have been banned in the first place because terrycrews was 16 which is legal according to you.

I mean I don't know but that seems pretty cut and dry, nobody above the age of 18 should have sex with anyone below the age of 18. A 16 year old cannot have sex with a 40 year old, 30 year old etc.

It doesn't say that. Read section 9 and you'll see that I'm correct. It explicitly states the age of consent is 16.

Pyrocynical wasn't a pedo because he didn't know the age or something. Not that I care though, he's a tranny and a faggot with a fat fetish and I hope people do think of him as a pedophile.

Oh so people don't actually think he's a pedo, they just want people to think hes a pedo.
Fucking weird but okay.
