Only within a couple of years. it's still against the law for an adult to have relations with a 13 year old. As it should be. This law only exists to ensure that teenagers can't be prosecuted for having relations with each other. Same thing with many places (but not all) where it is 16. Regardless, an adult should never have relations like that with a teenager weather it's legal or not.

Hey, I'm replying to you here because your post from the other day was archived and I was unable to make a reply there. I just wanted to call out your assertion that collective shout is a left-wing organization pushing this. As somebody who is a self-identified radical leftist I need to tell you that you're dead wrong. And this is important because the people you support in the groups you stand behind will absolutely have an effect on the kind of media that you're allowed to consume. Like you pointed out, the organization is a self-proclaimed feminist organization. The designation of feminist means literally nothing, and there is no leftist requirement to be a feminist and at times being a feminist is directly counterintuitive to leftism. for example, swerfs and terfs directly target marginalized groups of people, a concept that goes directly against left-wing values. In fact, collective shout is comprised of these kinds of people exactly. If you don't believe me, just read about the tenure of the founder. And it makes sense when you consider that collective shout teamed up with Evangelical groups in order to target MasterCard and Visa. I don't remember if it was collective shout themselves are one of the groups they worked with, but the next target is literally LGBTQ plus games. Are you going to be just as dedicated fighting against that?
In fact, when you look at the history of censorship in the western world almost every single meaningful campaign was the far-right targeting the far left. Let me give you some examples.
The Red scare
Nazi book burnings
Nazi's first victims were communists and socialists
Modern day book bannings
Bud light Dylan mulvaney boycott
The satanic panic was led by right-wing evangelicals
The early comic book banning was right wing
Rock music, again a right wing lead movement
Video games lead to mass shootings, right wing Evangelical movement.
The only one I can think of might be the general concept of cancel culture. Even then, cancel culture essentially amounted to nothing. And outside of literal rapists and sexual abusers, the only ones who were effectively silenced with cancel culture were people on the left. And in all honesty, your anecdote about finding hentai in a school library is total BS and I'm going to call it out. Even if we're true, it's not indicative of a general censorship movement that absolutely is happening in the United States. Denying it is utterly ridiculous when there are so many resources that you have access to indicating otherwise.
Besides this particular point of politics, I am generally on your side with this issue. Not only is it not MasterCard or visas place to be dictating what we purchase with our own money (within reason, I think it's understandable to disallow literal cp and sex trafficking and things of that nature) but the science also backs up the allowance for games like this to exist. Everybody has their own sexual proclivities and kinks. If an individual chooses to enjoy something that has hurt no one in the comfort of their own home, they have every right to do so. An ever-growing pool of data shows that allowances to pornographic games that allows people to explore their sexuality generally results in a decline of sexual violence. Not only that, but despite pornography becoming infinitely more accessible since the '90s, sexual violence has gone down considerably. (To be completely clear, this statement is a gross oversimplification of the actual science. I recommend the video "making the world a better place with games" by sex positive gaming) Organizations like collective shout actively work against this science. They actively go against allowing people to explore their sexuality in the comfort of their own home. They go out of their way they to label individuals as sexually deviant, even if they're only exploring what they're enjoying their own kinks in the comfort of their own home involving nobody else. None of these are left-wing values. Using the excuse of protecting women to strip away people's ability to explore themselves sexually is about his right wing as it gets.

Your point is not as good as you think it is. There is actually a strong point to be made about the downsides of cars and the automotive industry, such as pollution, creating a car dependent infrastructure, and the automotive industry's lobbying that has destroyed public transportation. There are also industries where that are bolstered by the use of automotive vehicles. Horses are not concerned with keeping their jobs.
As for tools, this is utterly ridiculous as well. First off, tools are an extension of ones body, allowing them to expand their craft. Not to mention there are people who need to make the tools. And if you are referring to machines that automate processes in manufacturing, then yes, there is also a case to be made that it is harmful to the human beings that lose their jobs. makeup? not sure what you mean there. Computers again are tools, They're not just magic work replacing machines. It takes years of learning to become adept in coding, digital art, cad, and so on.
No, AI art is another thing entirely. Unlike manufacturing, transportation, and trade; art does not exist for the same reason these things do. Art is what makes up the culture of our society. When you look at a piece of art, you are aware that a human being made it, and they put a piece of themselves into it. AI art does not do that, it takes stolen assets from artist who are far more talented than a hack like Yourself and makes an ugly hodgepodge based on a text prompt. It enables lazy cocksnot to impede on one of the last bastions of our culture that hasn't been taken over by the laziest money grabbing people imaginable. I'm sorry if it offends you that myself and many others want are that was made by actual human beings. I'm sure you will take none of this into consideration, seeing as how your already committed to taking obvious shortcuts. Whatever, your ugly project and attitude speak for themselves, and there are plenty of other artists willing to put in the blood, sweat and tears to create work that speaks for itself. Not to mention AI art generation requires an ungodly amount of processing power to work.
You live in a dying culture that values infinite commodity consumption at whatever cost. why get your shoes fixed when you could just get new ones for a little more? I dunno, maybe because its made with ultra cheap exploitative labor and it will inevitably become trash that poisons the earth with micro plastics and chemicals. Just because something is new and convenient does not mean that it is a better choice. I do not want to live in a humanity that forsakes it own creativity and beauty because its easier to type in a prompt. I thing you could agree that a culture completely of AI art would be hideous and boring.
I really love the character an the animation! This demo has a fantastic art style too! However I'm not feeling it with the timing bar thing. Maybe if the target was a bit larger and the slider was a bit slower. Frankly though, I would rather just have the option to enjoy the animation for what it is. maybe with a bit more interaction rather than traditional "gamey" elements. Anyways, thanks for the demo, I cant wait to see what you do with it in the future!
