I mean, that’s sort of how it’s acceptable at all, right? It’s almost entirely about the fact that it’s like accepted to lust after them or hit on them and the rest that would actually get them busted is not explicitly shown, but there’s enough there for you to understand that it’s gross.
And I love Japanese games, but even still, currently I’m playing Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, and there are scenes where characters comment on the beauty and attractiveness of Trucy (with no reprimanding from any other character), a 15 year old girl explicitly mentioned to not even be in high school yet.
That’s not explicit, her character design isn’t sexy, but the behavior of much older men lusting after a pre-high schooler is totally normalized. I think that’s more of what you’ll see commonly.
Not 13 any more. It’s officially 16 now, and that old age of 13 never applied to anyone because every prefecture had a prefectural age of consent set at 16, and the old, national age of consent WAS 13 so no prefecture could go below that. There was NO WHERE in Japan where it was actually legal to have sex with a 13 year old because no prefecture allowed it.
There aren’t even correct anymore. Japan changed their national age of consent to 16, and it was functionally never as low as 13 because each prefecture had it set at 16 before that. The old, national age of consent was so no prefecture could ever go below that age.

Check age of consent in Japan please…

Get a new talking point.
And most of the world think that it’s too young.
Just because something is allowed by law in one country doesn’t invalidate arguments about it being immoral.
Having sex with animals is “allowed” (by not being illegal) in many countries. I would still argue that it is immoral.

16 country-wise and 18 in the prefecture I live in.
