people on the internet have been getting really into 'raise the age of consent to 20/21' lately and i gotta say, not loving it.

I mean, first of all, I do believe the age of consent is good where it's at in my country (16) since you can start to drink (and potentially vote, soon!) at that age and it is also the age a lot of teens start experimenting with sex or masturbating more often, etc..

I do believe some things should remain at 18 - smoking (actually tbh I would personally maybe raise the age on that, but I'm not 100% on it), purchasing alcohol freely, gambling, and taking explicit pictures of oneself / sharing them online / signing up for an onlyfans, etc. - because the teens do need a few more years between 'starting to experiment' (particularly with sex and drinking) and being fully free to do what they want. In this country they are also legally required to stay in education or something equivalent until 18, so it is like 'proper adulthood' comes about in terms of development at 18, too.

in reality, 18 is a bit of an arbitrary number that denotes someone as an adult, but I think it makes sense when we consider the stages of physical and intellectual development, how most teens will be post-puberty at that age, and what ages many teens start experimenting with 'adult' things. 20/21 seems far too old, since many teens will have desire for sexual contact before that point, and acting upon those natural desires would class them as criminals or 'victims'.

I keep my blog 18+, firstly because the general online age of consent is 18 as far as I'm aware, and secondly because I explore a lot of topics and content that is quite intense for someone delving into nsfw stuff for the first time. Under 18s can of course view my blog, there's nothing I can do to stop them, and I did the same when I was under 18. And honestly, if you're exploring your own kinks and stuff, that's fine. I found out about a lot of my current kinks between the ages of 16-18. But the 18+ warning is there to protect me, and the people who interact with this blog, as well as under-18s. If you are under 18, interacting with an 18+ blog / community might put you at risk of being groomed OR you may be severely disregarding the blog owner's boundaries or put them at risk of getting into trouble. Viewing without interacting is not something that can be stopped and it is mostly harmless. Just make sure you are clicking away if you are uncomfortable or see something you don't like.

Additional historical context: the age of consent for gay men in the UK (where I am from) was 21 from 1967 (decriminalisation) until 1994, and 18 until 2000, whereas for heterosexuals it was 16 throughout that time. There was a massive fight from gay activists not only for marriage and adoption rights, but for the age of consent to be lowered to match the heterosexual age of consent - because gay men were being arrested for having sex with a 20 year old, as a 21 year old. To argue for the age of consent to be increased, I believe, is to argue for the disproportionate targeting of LGBT+ people, as they are the ones who would be most often targeted for this behaviour even if they weren't the main perpetrators. This would also land them with sexual offence charges, not just any criminal charge. And in a country where sex offenders can now be chemically castrated, I fear that would be a slippery slope indeed.

Truly, it concerns me that so many people want the age of consent to be increased. So many "leftist" people who believe it is a good idea. Fortunately, I do doubt it will ever happen, at least here.

I miss when sharing your kins just meant that you found a character relatable or said you were "literally them" jokingly. Now people get angry if you do that because "thats not real kin".

Are we really that connected to our phones that we need to create our identity around fictional faces on our carrds, flags that are unnecessary (not xenogender and lgbt, im talking about other flags) just to share more and more with complete strangers, and also make systems to be less lonely?

Please. What are we doing. Why are we just doing this and encouraging each other without questioning anything?

Why share my name? My pronouns? My age? My sexuality? My gender? If Im trans or not? My EVERYTHING with the internet?

There is nothing wrong in being yourself, but I feel like the internet is too exposing. Its like i have a second life here with a full time job and i need to say everything and a bit more. The bit more being identities like alterhumanity and kin and now also disorders (why share our disorders online? I dont want to just tell that to random people!)

I feel like the internet is too much and so little people criticize it. Everyone just accepts without knowing if something is harmful or not because "its my belief" or "i suffer x thing so you cant criticize me".
