Jesus Christ, where do I begin? 18 and 19 are legal ages and points in which you are certainly more formed/developed both physical and emotionally than two or three years prior. I realize you’re likely in your late teens/early 20s, so you wanna find a way to rationalize going lower than the agreed upon age of adulthood, but again, your arguments are literally in support of underage mingling in whatever manner, and like I said earlier, there’s simply no combination of words in any language or any number of cultural differences that will convince me that a 21 year old and a 16 year old should be coupled up. Save us both the trouble (of landing on a watchlist) and take this topic up with someone whose mind you can change, because I’m comfortable with my stance on this issue.
If 18 and 19 are fine, then the term teenager shouldn't really be used so emotively.
I'm not rationalizing for myself, and 16 is legal in my "first world" country so calling to "legal ages" isn't an effective call to authority to me.

People are on a journey in this world, we are more developed mentally till the day we die or suffer an illness, so yes someone 2 years older will know better, someone in their 30s will know better than someone who is 21 also, so that isn't a convincing argument to me, if we want it to be mental development it needs to be 25, if we want it to be puberty based then it needs to be 16-17.

Suggesting I'd be put on a watch list for abiding the laws within my country is laughable.

No need to respond, there are no questions in this post, we can agree to disagree. You are of course free to your opinion but shouldn't be policing others without reasoned and rigorous argument that takes scientific, historic, cultural factors involved and wondering if you are fixing something that isn't broken.

Luffy might ask Marco to join the crew as well just like he asked Jinbe but even if he didn't ask him, Marco will be help them against BB as well.
Marco, Jinbe and Yamato have all connection to Ace.
 
I laid out the differences in the rest of the post you didn't quote. Creating goofy strawmans isn't going to bait me any further if you won't bother to go over the rest of the post.

The people whose culture I disagree with in your extreme example probably WOULD find it distasteful for me to judge them. One difference not explored in my previous post is I don't spend a large portion of my time consuming media created directly from their culture.
Oh I read all your stuff. And I’m responding to the part I care about. You are claiming that your idea of a limit (that you never implied existed before) is inherently better than another person’s limit. You can judge cultures based on your opinion but others cannot.

okay. Let’s talk about Japan with its consent age of 14 and it’s almost NONEXISTENT protections against things like child pornography

If for example, the person who doesn’t like the Pudding Sanji thing does like it because the author is clearly channeling the general laxness of his country’s laws around such things and so the person can tell the author is fine with minors being depicted like this NOT because of your arguments about level of brain development or whatever but because his very culture itself is just allows this.

Let’s take this into account. That the issue here isn’t about whatever arguments you can make about brain development but simply the laws of Japan itself that give Oda the idea that minors in his story like Rebecca can prance around half naked and Pudding can be married off.

Your randomly moralistic statement calling someone creepy becomes fuckin ridiculous no? Like is this person creepy because they know Oda endorses his pedophile friends and his actual work doesn’t even say otherwise given the Pudding business? The fuck dude. Where do you get the right to insult people for having a problem with all this? Because you read that a 16 year old brain is more developed than a 13 year old brain. That’s it. That fact in a vacuum is enough to put you on this moral high ground? As opposed to actually looking at the culture you so gleefully defend by being #NotImperialist

Geez
 
Oda after he made Zoro bleed from the Gifters:

Nah on some real shit.
70% of engaging fans disrespected Zoro on a wide scale from chapters 980-995. Thats almost half a year. I guess it came into Oda's stratosphere and he couldn't understand the disrespect.

Probably why Zoro is shining gloriously now. And why Judge's Son is getting Ass Pummeled in memes and disrespect.
