Also, 14 in Germany is less of a blanket "age of consent", and more legal protection for teenagers of different ages, and there is still a line of seperation at 18. As far as I remember; unlike those people I don't google my country's age of consent every day.

In either case, it's not like we have a widespread culture of 40-year-olds casually dating 14-year-olds out in public, like some pedo-paradise these people imagine. I'm not even sure we have a good translation for "cradle robber", but maybe it's because we're German and just go "yo, what the fuck is wrong with you?" ... in German.

Exactly, the age of consent is 14 if both partners are under 18. Which seems pretty relevant, but of course doesn't fit into the narrative these guys (who are most certainly over 18) want to spread.
