Game Grumps host Dan Avidan was allegedly caught grooming a 17 yo so that he could begin a sexual relationship with them when they hit adulthood, though it appears that the allegation against him has less weight than the one against shmorky as it started at 22 rather than 18 like in shmorky's case.
He and his co-host had previously defended blm during the 2020 regressive leftist riots.

It was a combination of factors that got us to this point, but the takeaway is that in the US, age of majority has become intertwined with franchise.
You do not want 16 year olds voting. Frankly you shouldn't want people under 30 voting but we play the hand we're given.
Oh, I forgot about voting. That's 18 (and alcohol, tobacco and weed ages are set by the province, but the federal minimum is now 18, too. When I was young, there was no federal minimum age for cigarettes.)
BUT, you can quit school, leave home, rent a place, hold a full-time job, and co-habitate with a sexual partner, and Children's Aid can't touch you. But you were expected to have been trained and educated enough to be able to take care of yourself by that age. And my advice to the young, from experience, isn't to "stay in school", it's to "get a trade", and one that can't be exported.
