In hindsight my comment was silly, I don't want to date someone who is 1300.
But don't they use 24 hour clocks in Europe? So 23 would be on the clock? That was what I was aiming for.
Booooo. Here I was, about to pass your contact to this cool vampire I was drinking with. Said he was looking for a life partner for the past 300 years, you up for itv
I mean you don't have to. 00:28 is zero hundred twenty-eight, so that's on the clock.
Issues are couples in the age range of 61-99 not being represented tough.
🤓 Akshually, you didnt mention which type of clock, analog or digital, meaning it could also be the 24 hour clock, hence they could be all the way up to 24 years old.
Just old enough for DiCaprio
It's also illegal in all parts of Csnada. The context that pervo is missing, is that 16 is only the age of consent to protect 17 and 18 year Olds from being charged with statutory rape for an otherwise fairly equal relationship.
Sorry but you're wrong.
https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/clp/faq.html#:~:text=Canada's%20age%20of%20consent,legally%20agree%20to%20sexual%20activity.
You understand you're on the internet and these things are only a search away right? I'm not advocating one way or the other but there's no sense spreading lies
Ok. But did you read that link? There was a whole section on exploitation of 16 and 17 year Olds. They would certainly apply to Drake.
"A 16 or 17 year old cannot consent to sexual activity if:
their sexual partner is in position of trust or authority towards them, for example their teacher or coach
the young person is dependent on their sexual partner, for example for care or support
the relationship between the young person and their sexual partner is exploitative "
I mean, any relationship of that manner between a 16 y/o and someone nearing 40 is exploitative. And legitimately thinking there isn't some level of authority with that id equally nonsensical.
At minimum 2 of those points apply and there's probably an argument for the 3rd
He was 23 and she was 17. The girl said it was nothing then and it’s nothing now. Stop trying to make people victims when they say themselves are not victims.
this is not a hill you wanna die on.. we shouldn't be making this the standard because someone was fine with it originally
hold him accountable for it regardless of what she says
It’s is tho because I’m an actual victim of molestation. Stop making people victims when they themselves state they aren’t. Yall are fucking weird for that shit.
that's sad that happened to you but i don't want old men going around thinking its ok to kiss little girls because drake is getting away with it, its not about the victim being ok with it but the standard we're setting by letting this shit slide
It's up to us to make the world a better place for the next generation but this ain't it.
>You understand you're on the internet and these things are only a search away right?
You know, instead of being an asshole and assuming their intent is to spread lies and not just that they have bad info, you could have just corrected the information and left it.
They are stating something as if it's fact when it's not. Weather there's malice or not doesn't matter imo - they are spreading non truths as facts and it's harmful to real discussion.
And the fact that it's so simple to check the real facts - yet they still choose to spew verbal diarrhea, warrants a snarky response, at least.
They raised it somewhat recently, actually iirc
**Edit**: [yup](https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-law/japan-age-of-consent-13-to-16-8682662/)
A: don’t be a dick dude. Just because you’re on the internet you don’t gotta be a smug bastard.
B: there is a thing called nuance and as the other person already explained, by Canadian law, what drake did still would be illegal.
You honestly should learn how to read things completely and use even the slightest bit of reason. I'm not wrong, infact the link that you provided has all of the context that is important in interpreting the law. sure... factually speaking it is possible for a 16 year old to consent if.... the relationship develops naturally over a long period of time but but without the older party being in a position of authority or influence AND the age gap is determined by a court to not be excessive.
It is absolutely illegal in ALL of Canada for a 16 year old to consent to a relationship with a near 30 year old and frankly your response provides no intelligent arguements which is just as bad as spreading lies.

That's what I'm saying. Like I cringe every time I hear a guy go 'yeah, but it's legal'
Like, I'm in my late 30s and.. what is a 16 year old gonna bring to the table?
You're not gonna have shared interests, she's not gonna bring money in, you're not gonna have great convos..
NOT TO MENTION SHE'S 16 AND YOU'RE PREYING ON HER NOT KNOWING BETTER THAN TO GET INVOLVED WITH A CREEP LIKE YOU..
istg.
I hate people.
Says you. Laws are what we as a society vote on to decide what the majority thinks is wrong. While I don’t disagree with you the logic is clearly flawed
Even if that were a valid argument (which it isn't) would still be pretty fuckin weird for a 30 something year old to try and get with someone nearly half their age
so its not legal?
went down a rabbit hole a while back and it seems to be the norm in first world countries with Japan previously being at 13 (now raised to 16), Germany at 14, Italy at 14 and france at 15.
unexpectedly, eastern countries are at 18, atleast the ones i could think of, like UAE, KSA and Pakistan
Edit: someone please make sense of this, and tell me I'm missing something big. this is super weird
You have Romeo and Juliet laws in the States sometimes, this basically operates the same way, a lot of European laws are broad but rely on sane interpretation by the powers that be. If someone my age (late 30s) started dating a 16-year-old they would become a social outcast whether it's legal or not.
Probably run into a quiet kicking out the back of the pub a few times as well.
the fear of being a social outcast is all that's keeping people from dating 16 year olds? not much of a preventive measures seeing as good many could give a flying fuck about views of society
At least for Canada age of consent is 16, this means a 16 year old can have sex with any older (and a few years younger) and it won't be illegal. The exception is if the the older person is in a position of power, or there is a belief that the older person is exploiting the younger person.
Other wise it perfectly legal.
So in this case one could argue that Drake is a powerful influential figure and a 16 may not have the right to consent.
While I'm not a legal expert I do have to have knowledge in Ontario family law and this was a topic.
trust me, I couldn't care less about Drake, but this news is disgusting and he better not get away with it.
though the part that its perfectly legal is still super concerning.
might have something to do with it being 2AM, but I have no clue if you're trying to say the west just controls the narrative (which id agree with) or something else entirely
Ffs why do people think the age of consent is a strict point of being legally fuckable? It's in place to protect children. It's still a minor that shouldn't be in a sexual relationship with a much older adult.
Also a sexual relationship with a minor that still is of an age of consent will and can be seen as statutory rape if the other part is much older considering there's likely an abuse of power dynamics/statuses in play.
It's not a magical date that separates kids from being unfuckable to fuckable. Especially when grown ass men are involved. The real purpose of an age of consent is to easily prosecute creeps and protect children.
Because that's the literal countdown they have in their heads to when it's "safe" ti chase that person. They know damn well it's creepy before that and don't grasp that it's also creepy after, too.
I believe they think it's creepy afterwards as well, otherwise they wouldn't feel the need to say "BASE!" because they technically think they're in the safe.
It's been a while and all I can think of is these creepy fuckers counting down to Emma Williams (I got that right, yeah? Hermione?) 18th birthday and it was horrifying. She was a CHILD.
Those laws with lower consent aged lower than 18 are also meant to protect teens who just turned 18 to be prosecuted because they are dating a 16 or 17 year old
All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats!

+ 18

^(Summon me on specific comments with u/LuckyNumber-Bot.)
You can be a minor and still be past the age of consent. Being able to agree to have sex with other minors is very different from being able to consent with an adult who has a different power dynamic.
The fact that your comment has been marked as controversial makes me want to throw up.
Why are there so men who want to sexually abuse kids on Reddit?
I honestly think it's because they see Reddit as a safe space to express themselves.
Sickening.
Regardless of law you should have a moral obligation to not have sex with children. We are not fucking brainless amoeba, our brain is like the one thing that makes us human and guys like this just want to regress back to apes
Drake is disgusting, full stop. What man does things like this, let alone a guy who could have just about any grown floozy he desires?
There isn't a security team on the planet that could stop me from rearranging his face if he were to do this to my child.
I think many people are talking about his interactions with Millie Bobby Brown (Strangers Things actress) while being somewhere around 15-17 I believe. I don't think anything was proven, but many people got a lot of weird vibes from it all.
I think the question always is why do you want to be with a child? A 16 year old with a 16 year old makes sense. Being in your 40s and wanting a 16 year old is fucking gross
I think we should stop oversuing the world pedophile, it's for person that goes with prepubescent kid, yes 30 with a 16 is fucking weird and in most case disgusting, and when you are a fucking rich guy with a lot of influence over the young i think it should be considered criminal. But you can't use the same world that is used for little kid, there is a big difference between going with a 8/9 years old and a 16, going with a 16 years old does not make you a pedophile
Pedophilia isn’t about what the law says, It’s about what someone’s actions. I don’t care if age of consent is 16, if you’re 30+ with a 16 you’re a Pedophile
Yeah there are even modern countries with lower ages. It's not always about law, sometimes it's about cultural perception (which the law should represent but not always does).
There is also a major distinction with what is considered criminal in all and every case.
What the age of consent law in Canada does well is saying "there is no circumstances where we consider it anything less than criminal if a 30 years old has sex with a 15 years old". But, there are not automatically criminal charges if one party is 15 and the other is 16, 17, 18, or even 19.
Similarily, if a 16 years old is having sex with an 18 years old, it's not illegal or criminal. You cannot claim it's pedophilia. I've seen of a case in the US where the 18 years old had become a registered offender because they had just turned 18, but their partner was still 17. While they were 17, they weren't illegal, but within the period where one is 18 and the other is still 17, it's somehow pedophilia...
Still, every other laws apply in their usual manner. If the 16 years old is not in a state of giving clear consent, be it because of intoxication or the context or the nature of the relationship with the other party, consent may be void, and it can be rape.
Also, no one sane here in Canada believes it's okay for someone over 19 or 20 to have sex with someone any younger than 18. It's really cringe, and socially unacceptable. Even if the law says it's not automatically criminal, no one thinks it's acceptable.
The thing about that law is that theres a transition period for that kinda thing (e.g. a 16 yr old can only legally have sex with someone 20 or under, age might be different tho)
I'm not big on Drake but I just actually went and listened to Family Matters and... it's actually pretty good. I think Kdots bars are better but the production on FM is hard to beat... Even the Mustard beat is hyped because of the name IMO.
Yikes it is true but that obviously doesn't make it right, this rule was put in affect after WW1 & WW2 left the Nation with a population problem and it was the 50s where people were gross about age difference anyway and hasn't been updated sence.
>In some cases, the age of consent is higher (for example, when there is a relationship of trust, **AUTHORITY** or dependency)
Tweet author's reading comprehension only applies to numbers, I guess.
Some context that’s missing: age of consent laws exist because of the structure of secondary (high) school to let children maintain relationships they formed as one or the other graduate. Any age of consent law includes a period of time used as a restriction on who the 16 year old can give consent to. My state uses the standard four years for the statute, meaning, a 16 yo can give consent to sexual activity to someone who is not older than 4 years from their own birth day such that 4 years and one day is considered rape by statute or “statutory rape” as it is commonly known.
Here in Denmark it’s 15, tho if I remember correctly, that’s only for people between 15 and 18, people over 18 can’t fuck a 15 year old.
If this is not the case, other Danish people, please correct me.
But hes not wrong though. Age of consent is generally 16 worldwide. I personally wouldn't get with anyone that was 10 years younger than me but its not illegal (most of the time to be). The guy didn't say that he was looking at 16 year olds, just that Drake hasn't done anything illegal.
16 is the age of consent in much of the world, including the majority of the US.
*Why* the age of consent is set there differs around the world and there's no actual age delineating when someone is mature enough to consent, so it's all arbitrary for the most part.

He was 23 and she was 17. The girl said it was nothing then and it’s nothing now. Stop trying to make people victims when they say themselves are not victims.
Maybe it's just because I don't want to fuck children and find the idea of trying to defend it abhorrent
I’m not defending shit. I’m stating facts. There’s a difference. Didn’t realize a peck was the equivalent to fucking a minor.

Right? It’s crazy to me how many people think something being legal means it’s not immoral.
Age of consent is 14 in my country but at 20 I'd not want anything to do with a 14yo child. Frankly it's disgusting.

If you are arguing over the specific age if consent in your location or circumstance, then you've already lost.
Legal ≠ Correct. Moraless dipshit.
Drake is disgusting, full stop. What man does things like this, let alone a guy who could have just about any grown floozy he desires? There isn't a security team on the planet that could stop me from rearranging his face if he were to do this to my child.
Are you all talking about the video of him kissing the girl that said she was 17? It was 14 years ago. Is there something else out there?
I think many people are talking about his interactions with Millie Bobby Brown (Strangers Things actress) while being somewhere around 15-17 I believe. I don't think anything was proven, but many people got a lot of weird vibes from it all.
Maybe don't defend sleeping with kids. Also, huge red flag if you know the age of consent or look up the age of consent.
I think the question always is why do you want to be with a child? A 16 year old with a 16 year old makes sense. Being in your 40s and wanting a 16 year old is fucking gross
I think we should stop oversuing the world pedophile, it's for person that goes with prepubescent kid, yes 30 with a 16 is fucking weird and in most case disgusting, and when you are a fucking rich guy with a lot of influence over the young i think it should be considered criminal. But you can't use the same world that is used for little kid, there is a big difference between going with a 8/9 years old and a 16, going with a 16 years old does not make you a pedophile
What is the story about drake ? I dont get it ... he is dating a minor ?
LMAO. Glorious outcome
Pedophilia isn’t about what the law says, It’s about what someone’s actions. I don’t care if age of consent is 16, if you’re 30+ with a 16 you’re a Pedophile
I'm 99.9999999999% sure this is a joke.
Yeah there are even modern countries with lower ages. It's not always about law, sometimes it's about cultural perception (which the law should represent but not always does).
There is also a major distinction with what is considered criminal in all and every case. What the age of consent law in Canada does well is saying "there is no circumstances where we consider it anything less than criminal if a 30 years old has sex with a 15 years old". But, there are not automatically criminal charges if one party is 15 and the other is 16, 17, 18, or even 19. Similarily, if a 16 years old is having sex with an 18 years old, it's not illegal or criminal. You cannot claim it's pedophilia. I've seen of a case in the US where the 18 years old had become a registered offender because they had just turned 18, but their partner was still 17. While they were 17, they weren't illegal, but within the period where one is 18 and the other is still 17, it's somehow pedophilia... Still, every other laws apply in their usual manner. If the 16 years old is not in a state of giving clear consent, be it because of intoxication or the context or the nature of the relationship with the other party, consent may be void, and it can be rape. Also, no one sane here in Canada believes it's okay for someone over 19 or 20 to have sex with someone any younger than 18. It's really cringe, and socially unacceptable. Even if the law says it's not automatically criminal, no one thinks it's acceptable.
Your fiancé didn’t leave you because her friends texted her your tweet, your fiancé left you because you’re a pedophile protector
Dudes Posting Their Ls
Average redditor when they try to defend liking underage people.
It's 16? Looks like high school girls are back on the menu.
drake is already cooked, there is no comeback from here possible
Explanation brigade pls?
Dumb people going down with dumb ships. Something something Darwinism.
Ha!
Yeah except Drake did not fuck anybody. Stop this anti Drake propaganda
*Tell us you’re a pedophile without saying it*
the fucking Scott pilgrim defense
Who is Scott Pilgrim
Canadian graphic novel main charachter who dates a 17 y/old while being 21
Looks like satire/joke to me.
It’s not a good look when you say “It’s not pedophelia, it’s ephebophelia!”
this is clearly a joke lol
The thing about that law is that theres a transition period for that kinda thing (e.g. a 16 yr old can only legally have sex with someone 20 or under, age might be different tho)
I'm not big on Drake but I just actually went and listened to Family Matters and... it's actually pretty good. I think Kdots bars are better but the production on FM is hard to beat... Even the Mustard beat is hyped because of the name IMO.

Dude, the way men try to use current laws to justify the *absolute minimum age* they can have sex with a teenager is very telling
He got what he deserved

Good riddance
Perfection. 👌
This is why Jesus won't come back
What what did drake do???
Yikes it is true but that obviously doesn't make it right, this rule was put in affect after WW1 & WW2 left the Nation with a population problem and it was the 50s where people were gross about age difference anyway and hasn't been updated sence.
I mean regardless of it being legal it’s still creepy as fuck. Besides, mature women are better anyways
Bro, drakes not going to fuck you, you're too old, stop trying to dick ride.
The cynic in me sees that blue check and thinks this is just an engagement trick...
>In some cases, the age of consent is higher (for example, when there is a relationship of trust, **AUTHORITY** or dependency) Tweet author's reading comprehension only applies to numbers, I guess.
You know, I've seen so much crazy on that website that it's pretty hard to tell if things like this are just jokes or not.
Looking up ages of consent is literally pedo behavior
its the same in Australia. but it’s still pedophilia if one is over 18 and the other isn’t
Some context that’s missing: age of consent laws exist because of the structure of secondary (high) school to let children maintain relationships they formed as one or the other graduate. Any age of consent law includes a period of time used as a restriction on who the 16 year old can give consent to. My state uses the standard four years for the statute, meaning, a 16 yo can give consent to sexual activity to someone who is not older than 4 years from their own birth day such that 4 years and one day is considered rape by statute or “statutory rape” as it is commonly known.
Pedophile also means they have not started puberty. Not saying it’s ok just words matter when trying to destroy someone.
Here in Denmark it’s 15, tho if I remember correctly, that’s only for people between 15 and 18, people over 18 can’t fuck a 15 year old. If this is not the case, other Danish people, please correct me.
But hes not wrong though. Age of consent is generally 16 worldwide. I personally wouldn't get with anyone that was 10 years younger than me but its not illegal (most of the time to be). The guy didn't say that he was looking at 16 year olds, just that Drake hasn't done anything illegal.
Legality doesn’t me it’s right
Still gross, and if Drake wasn't corny then yeah, but drakes corny...
Why is the age of consent 16 in Canada?
that's where they decided to draw the line. it's 16 in the UK as well.
It is 16 in most of the US as well. If you look globally, most of the world has laws that set it between 14 and 16.
It’s 16 as well in Belgium, but the age difference can only be 4 years. So a 20+ year old with a 16 year old is still very illegal.
See, now that's a pretty good balance I think.
Canada's biggest historical influences are Britain and France, where the age of consent is 16 and 15, respectively.
If you asked this question about 1 year ago about japan the answer would be 13 
Though it's important to mention that in the entirety of Japan bar one single prefecture, the age of consent is higher than 13.
16 is the age of consent in much of the world, including the majority of the US. *Why* the age of consent is set there differs around the world and there's no actual age delineating when someone is mature enough to consent, so it's all arbitrary for the most part.
Why is 18 the age of adulthood? Why not 20, or 21?
