Comment on a 320 year old elf marries an 80 year old human: Is the elf robbing the cradle, or the grave?
ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 months agoThere's no way an 80 year old woman has the life experience to compare to a 300-1,000 year old elf. There's an inherent power discrepancy.

I mean yes but it's diminishing returns. The rule kind of falls apart at these numbers.

Glad someone said this, it bothers me even with human ages. Like there’s this perception that as you get older you simply gain knowledge, wisdom, world experience, etc. Not a lot of people account for biological limits for knowledge/memory, nor degradation from aging.
If some young intern decided to try to have sex with Biden, I think there’s genuinely a conversation to be had about if that’s statutory rape. I think you’d need a healthcare professional to rule on if Biden has the mental capacity to fully consent. Similar to a drunk person. They’re still obviously a person able to think/engage with the world, but they’re heavily impaired and unable to fully consent as a result. Age impairs cognition too.
