I once, out of curiosity, mounted an expedition to the darkest regions of the internet, aka The Dark Web.

There’s some shit there that can scar you for life. Don’t ever go there, seriously.

There are some useful websites out there if by darknet you mean the Tor network. BBC, Debian, Reddit, and Z-Library (an eBook download site that had its content availability reduced after legal pressure) for example have onion domains.

I highly doubt it, my mind was s very strong and I have seen many thing in my life, gruesome death, abuse you name it. Nothing disturbs me. In comparison, the average person is too sensitive

I’m actively avoiding growing insensitive to stuff like this

My sense of normalcy kinda depends on not being apathetic to abuse

Thinking of it a bit differently, have you considered you might not be sensitive enough? There’s some real benefits to living with a healthy dose of sensitivity; for one, it is part of a healthy response to situations that could be physically harmful to you. Best of luck out there :)

I was on the Internet in the wild west period when you could just as easily stumble upon the kind of stuff you can only find on the dark web just making a Yahoo search.

The age of consent in Germany is 14.

Also applies to other countries in Europe iirc, but I can’t confirm that because that’s not something I’m willing to put in my search history again.

Edit: It’s more complex than that, read the replies by @Mrs_deWinter@feddit.de and @Turun@feddit.de.

Age of consent in Germany is a staggered system. With 14 you’re able to consent under specific conditions (them being there’s no exploitative element to the relationship), but still could file charge against the older person if they’re over 16. With 16 the first rule still applies; from 18 on you’re able to consent, period.

So for example when I was 14 I had a boyfriend, also 14, and neither of us committed any crime under this ruling. The law acknowledges that teenagers are allowed to have relationships with each other while putting every borderline case through a case-by-case hearing at court.

It’s actually a really good idea, so it kinda is a fun fact.

That’s a great idea.

At 14/15 you want to fool about if you have an equally young partner and there’s nothing really criminal about it - just discovering sexuality.

14 and 30 though really does have a different ring to it and if that’s considered, then credit to the system.

Only for kids in the same age range. And quite frankly, I think that’s the right way to do it. As if a law would make horny teenagers not have sex.

Setting the age of consent to 18 years just technically makes them pedophiles if you actually enforce it. And I’m of the opinion that laws should be enforced or removed entirely. Having a law and usually not enforcing it gives rise to a dangerous middle ground where persecution depends on other arbitrary factors. Like income, race or how well the cop likes you.

(If you are interested in German law, just reply and I can explain/translate the relevant parts of the law for you)

Edit: translation is also available here: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/englisch_stgb.html relevant are sections 176 and 182, which combine to give the often cited 14 years. Even though it never says anything about being above 14 years makes something legal! It is phrased in such a way that kids can have sex legally, while also preventing exploitation of minors.

And you can start drinking beer at 15 if at least one parent is around and agrees.

My daughter used to say “that’s not fair” all the time. I would tell her “Life isn’t fair. If you expect it to be, you will only set yourself up for failure and disappointment.”

She never listened to me, though.

Genocides typically are never actually punished and their main perpetrators often get away with it.

If you rape someone in the U.S., your odds of going to jail for it are only 0.01% . A hundredth of a percent. 0.01 out of 100 rapists ever actually see jail or prison.

I highly doubt that for every 10 000 rape cases reported only one is actually successfully pursued by law enforcement.

This one contradicts what he is saying but is still staggeringly low.

Although it does have a lot of assumptions and it looks like it combines female and male victims.
