What's the difference between complex c and pro c?
@elderemosarecool@cannibal.cafe or "can only consent to romance not sex" etc
@arisudotexe so if I were to simplify it, pro c is more of an absolute "kids can consent no matter what" while complex c is like "well it depends"?
@elderemosarecool@cannibal.cafe i suppose, tho i'd argue that pro-c's can also have age barriers, such as only 13+ or something
@arisudotexe @elderemosarecool agreed, i'm not sure if i have one (though if i do it's definitely lower than 13, maybe around 7 or 8? still not sure if i do though, would depend on some deeper questions that i'm kinda neutral on)
@arisudotexe @elderemosarecool
another thing is that people calling themselves pro-c maps if the limit is 13+ is kinda disingenuous, since that almost entirely excludes pedophilia, in that case i guess pro-c hebephile would make more sense

another important thing is what they would do vs what they think others should do.

@teal @arisudotexe @elderemosarecool true but if it's just a personal choice it doesn't really make sense to say you're "anti-x", i'm probably never going to do lsd but that doesn't mean i'm anti lsd
@arisudotexe right. So wouldn't that defeat the purpose of complex c if it's also common for pro cs to have limits on what consent is?
@elderemosarecool @arisudotexe pretty much, contact labels are too reductive, to the point where they often cause misunderstandings
@nep
i think the point of complex-c is to try to get people to not assume you are one of the two extremes
