The latest is apparently that we shouldn't judge HE!Harry for perving on his 15-year-old adopted daughter because there's crap on TV in a completely different country. No, really:
# [HG131:] Actually, even then, I wouldn't see Unfortunate Implications. 15 is legal in the Wizarding World [sic], and 16 is legal in many first world countries (including many US states). So yeah, he's not doing anything illegal. # [szaleniec1000:] As someone who lives in one of those countries, it might be legal for a 23-year-old to hook up with someone only just at the age of consent (though not if he's her teacher) but it's nowhere near being socially acceptable. # [HG131:] Well, if you're going to have this debate with me, you should be warned that I never care what society thinks. This is the same society that got Jersey Shore multiple seasons, gave us American Idol and screwed Firefly. So as far as I'm concerned, their opinions don't matter, and should just be ignored. So therefore, I still say it's fine.
