That's actually scientifically true though.
And the age of consent in some states is 16 (which I find too young but whatever).
I wish they would just popularize another word.
It bothers me that someone caught in a "she was only 17" scenario is placed in the same headspace as some sicko that preys on literal children who no concept of what sex is.
It's like it all murder was treated as premeditated and heat of passion/manslaughter didn't exist.
Mind you, I know it puts me on a list for discussing such things but there's a truth to it.

The age of consent being 16 does not in any way legalize adults having sex with these children.

Every idiot I've seen get criticized for preying on older teens usually ends up getting found out for pushing the boundary younger and younger. Chris D'Elia? Machine Gun Kelly? I don't hear those pedos rationalizing an attraction to older teens and then acting as if a 14-year old is out-of-bounds. If you find yourself chasing 17/16 year olds, you're still a pedo. I think you'll find that the majority of these people are not principled in any such way ie they 'care' about children. If you're trying to screw a 17 year old, you don't care about children.

and it's not fucking 'scientifically true', that's literally gross as hell
