Line 7:
When a [[Lolicon|particular type]] [[Shotacon|of adult]] (almost [[Always Male]]) expectantly waits for the day a minor (almost [[Always Female]]) will reach the age of consent and be fair game for sexual conquest. A key component in any good [[Wife Husbandry]] plan. Can become ''very'' [[Squick]]y ''very'' easily. [[Bonus Points]] if a daily countdown is kept of exactly how long someone has to wait before they can legally deflower their target.
 
In [[Real Life]], [[w:Age of consent|the age of consent varies from place to place]], but in fiction it is almost always 18, partially due to [[SoCalization]]. (For example, the above quote has it wrong; the age of consent is [[How I Met Your Mother|17 in the state of New York]].) In a few jurisdictions, it may be perfectly lawful for sixteen year olds (and in some, that number goes down to ''fourteen'') to engage in sexual activity, but completely illegal for them to be depicted in any form of erotica or porn (whether they're underage in real life or not) - or for them to even buy porn.<ref>There has been at least one case iin Canada of a 17-year-old taking a naked selfie and then being charged with possession of child porn — the photo of themself. "Legal to do" does not mean "legal to depict".</ref> Despite the age of consent being under 18 in [[wikipedia:Age of consent|the majority of places worldwide]], it is still possible to get arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and there are higher minimum ages if one partner is in a position of trust or control over the other (such as a guardian, a coach or a school teacher) or if money changes hands, so 18 - or 21 - might still be a good age to wait for.
 
And yes, someone will inevitably [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] the patchwork of laws by creating a character who [[Totally Eighteen|just turned eighteen]] today, just became a porn star or a sex worker, but still cannot buy beer in some backward jurisdiction because of their age. Or, if they're exactly eighteen right this minute, it's [[Jail Bait|still child porn]] one time zone further west.
