I would be interested in seeing if the twitter replies have red pill value. I goofed around trying to get a link, but I am not literate with twitter; don’t know how to search for that.

The movie, in case anyone didn’t know, is a homosexual romance between a 17-year-old and a professor. A film like this pushes a discussion about what age is. Many will say “17... close enough”. Later... it’s lower... and lower... finally it just gets ignored all together.

Exactly. At some point there has to be a cutoff for legal purposes. As far as I'm concerned that cutoff should be 18. You can't vote, smoke, live independently, get married (without parental permission), join the military until you are 18. No one says, well, you are 17 -- close enough. Hell, we don't even trust kids to drink alcohol until they are 21! If you can't make a rational decision about alcohol until the age of 21, then you shouldn't be having sex either. If they do have sex, it should be with someone their own age -- not an adult who is in a position to take advantage of them and manipulate them.

Like you said, though, this is about the slippery slope. 17 will be close enough. Then eventually, it will be 16 -- and on and on until they get it down to okay from birth. Even then, we'll probably have some perverts trying to get their hands on aborted fetuses so they can molest them, too.

In fairness - and I don't agree with it - this was set in Italy. I had to just look for myself to see what the age of consent was/is; Italy is currently just 14 years old. They aren't alone either, there are many other countries with that very same figure. And here I was thinking my own country's age limit of 16 was bad enough. Pretty sad really. Still, without doubt you can see films like this as just pawns used to try and expose American audiences to lower ages.

omg, you're kidding! 14 is ridiculous. i can't believe that 14 yr olds are expected to make decisions like that! wow, just wow.

It's only 12 in mexico. So it's not really a surprise when we see so many news stories of Mexican men who come into this country and are arrested for raping 12 year olds.
