Country run by pedophiles apparently

Apparently??

I don't think it's ever been much of a secret. Not all of them are monsters, just the ones in power and their concubines

Wondering if anyone who knows the language/region.

Can confirm the terms they use. Because age of consent when its clear the child is not able to express a chioce or old enouth to understand what they would be agreeing to.

Seems like a western interpretation. Or are the laws there really that hypocritical in their terminology.
