      He’s right that we shouldn’t infantilise teenagers by calling them ‘children’, lumping them in with prepubescent children as if there’s no difference between them.

      Something that the society achieved in the last 150 years are two dogmas:

      • 5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum
      • people before 18 should not have sex with people after 18

      I’m kinda glad that questioning these puts one into a category of weirdos.

      unfortunately I’ve heard similar phrasings and ideas expressed by 20- and 30-something year olds in the gaming community. still has me feeling unwell.
