[up][up] Age of consent in Japan is 13.

Yeah, when I learned that, everything made sense.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

[up]So basically, while age of consent is 13, someone over 18 boning someone under 18 is extremely taboo and the over 18 person who did it is gonna be facing indecency charges as well as a lot of public stigma against them hanging over their head.

Kinda stricter than that. Main rule is that it's illegal to have sex with someone under 18 by regional law, with a very narrow room for exceptions.

And you won't be charged for "indecenies", it's straight-out "sexual conduct with a minor". Japan is very much the same as most Western countries.

Oh, and 13 is just "age of consent" by national law. Regional law (which is every bit as binding) usually sets it to 18 (I think a few have 16).

I'd like to point out that the age of consent might not apply to this particular situation, since neither Junko nor Archer are actually in Japan. Or anywhere on Earth, actually.

Uhm, fun fact, it might. It depends on what definition the Criminal Law of Japan gives, but it may protect Japanese citizens outside of the country's borders. It's not unheard of for serious crimes.

Of course, Japanese law is somewhat hard to enforce in the Danganronpaverse, what withsociety collapsing into anarchy with only a few known bastions of civilization still living a relatively normal life and all...

But, I think Vox is hinting we should probably stop going into discussion about the Japanese age of consent and how it applies to anime school girls in a multi-dimensional roleplaying game.

Going back to the root of this conversation, Junko, at the oldest, is 18, which while legal, is still very much the Danger Zone and kinda terrible. The end.tongue

Frankly, that isn't a topic worth discussing anywhere, unless you want to be on any number of government lists.

That is very paranoid.

Probably shouldn't ever need to come up in the RP though.

My legal opinion is that, in this case, the age of consent is not really relevant. Specially considering she is a fictional character, there is no crime perse ( in most legislations) And if it were, it wouldn't be paedophilia.

What IS relevant is the fact that we are in a site and therefore bound by the forum rules.

In other words if it's deemed inappropriate material by the site admins you can get banned. Regardless of national legislation's age of consent.

Let's see if I can get this right...

Right now, Yee, Xion and Excalibur are talking right outside the Cinema. I think Mutran, Sabrina and Zero are still inside. Junko is with the creepy red thing in her own room, Archer is knocking on her door, and Lune is about to walk past him.

An just to be perfectly clear I was talking about Real Life, consequences of writting it, not in game.

But then how can we plan the horrible things we can inflict to him/her/it? How can we know you're not lying and are in fact playing a character from a Colombian RPG?

Another batch of questions. Don't forget, if you want to ask me questions about anything- and I mean anything, you can even ask me what we have plotted for S3, can't tell you if I'll answer it truthfully - just mosey on over to this link and write out your question.

Why hasn't Loki kissed Armani yet straaaaaaaaaaaaaat

You say that like I'm the only one behind this choice.

You ever been introduced to any cool new series through your fellow player's characters?

Dezmo did make me eventually play Rayman Legends... Mal's Dio did make me eventually watch Jojo... same for Sam and Metal Gear Rising. And Chase Young did make me rewatch Xiaolin Showdown, so. There's that.

Is your soul still weighed down by Earth's gravity?

-n-

How's Annie?

You tell me.

Your OT Ps. From the R Ps, from a TV show, whatever. Gimme them.

Och. From the R Ps?

Here we go.

Favourite Sifuri character?

Already answered this one. As a player, favorite character is Chaika. As a GM, everyoneee~

Excluding challenges you've run, are there any particularly funny/dramatic/tragic moments in the R Ps that have stuck with you? If yes, gimme the details.

The entire Gogol Plains section in Sullen's challenge... the fight against the Space Marines in the 40k challenge... the Horrorfex grenades... some moments on the timeskip... yeah, I suck at remembering particular moments.

How is Xion doing in Infinities so far?

It hasn't been enough time for me to accurately judge him...
