      If I told you, “Gary’s fucking a teenager,” I’m guessing you wouldn’t assume that teenager was over 18 and would be thinking maybe the authorities should be contacted.

          Sorry… you would “absolutely” assume that if I told you that “Gary [i.e. someone we both know on a first-name basis] is fucking a teenager” that the person was of legal age because of a porn category?

          Because I’m pretty sure we don’t mutually know a porn star named Gary.

          This also makes me worried about your feelings on incest.

      We all get it, the type of porn you watch is still legal even though it has teen in the name.

      This is regarding a legal matter where the man’s sentence will likely be decided by the fact that the court sees him as an adult. In most cases and as the other user pointed out 18 year olds are referred to as men in a legal context. This disturbingly seems to be the standard practice when describing black males of 18.

      Generally speaking, describing alleged criminals as teens implies a lack of legal agency and thus biases the reader toward compassion. The point is that sometimes language can induce bias and consistency is needed. If that consistency falls towards the technicality of having the word teen in their name so be it, but that is not the case with our current media landscape.
