Attitudes towards this kind of thing have changed a lot fairly recently, in historical terms. I’m glad they’ve changed, and I agree with the changes, but I think it’s reasonable to note how unusual our efforts to shield teenage girls from exploitative sex are historically.
150 years ago the common law age of consent in UK and most US states was 12. In some states it was 10. In DE it was either 7 or 8, I forget which. In most of the world today such exploitation of young girls is taken for granted.
Watched a Netflix TV show called Copper, set in 1960s NYC. Seemed to have an unhealthy fascination with brothels employing, quite legally, 12 year old girls. So I stopped watching.
I just thought it was interesting, since we normally think of our ancestors as having superior moral values. But not in this regard. Or with regard to the slavery that was eliminated not long before we started raising the age of consent to sex.
1860's.
Don't know why you would quit watching, just because it was historically accurate (with fictional characters).
Would you not watch a show about the Holocaust, or the Rwanda Massacre, or a documentary about present-day child-trafficking, simply because there are unpleasant aspects?
I think it's important to know the bad parts of history (as well as the good parts), just as it's important to know the bad parts of current events. It's how we learn to not let history repeat itself.
