And Then There Was You

Chapter 3: Author Note

Summary:

Notes on the battle being waged in the comments.

Notes:

THANK YOU TO ALL MY SUPPORTERS! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING FOR TAKING UP THE FLAG AND FIGHTING THIS BATTLE WITH ME!

TO EVERYONE ELSE, GET A BLOODY GRIP!

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO ANGIEBEE, THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER.

In my story the LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT IS 16, FIGHT ME!

Chapter Text

FOR EVERYONE DEFENDING THIS SHIP AND ME, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!

So, I did a little research did you know in Africa alone the countries with ages of consent for women at the age of 14 WITHOUT EXPLOTATION (WHICH THIS FIC DOES NOT HAVE, *cough Shuri does most of the pursuing cough*) are ten.

The number of countries in Africa alone with lower ages of consent are six, the number of countries in Africa with fifteen or sixteen (which is her age in the movie, which I bumped up by two years) total 30. 26 countries have it at 18 years of age. So, most of the countries in Africa have an age of consent that is 16 years of age or less.
Why do I bring this up you wonder? Because even if Shuri was 16 in my fic she would still be LEGALLY ABLE to be pursued by Everette in Wakanda, because Wakanda is in AFRICA NOT AMERICA!

But let’s look at America ok, in America IN 31 STATES the age of consent is 16 and over 60% of Americans live in states where the legal age of consent is either 16 or 17. Washington DC and All US Territories except for the US Virgin Islands have ages of consent of 16. And in America in most states if you have your parent’s permission you can marry at 12!

SO, TO ALL YOU COMPLAINERS YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO FIGHT PEDOPHILIA, HEBEPHILIA, AND EPHEBOPHILIA (Which, if you wanted to be technical, is actually what you would call this if it were illegal) why don’t you start by fighting the legalization of child brides in this country!

Look it’s simple if you don’t like it, don’t read it! And don’t pretend to be worried about ephebophilia when it means all you do is harass myself and the sweet people who took the time out of their day to read my work and fight you in the comments! JUST LEAVE AND DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT WHERE THE GOOD LORD SPLIT YOU OK!

Once again to my readers thank you guys so much for your encouragement and battle cry.
