no you’re not stupid, these laws would be very confusing if you’re used to only having federal law. Having different laws only makes sense to me bc i live in the US. We have different ages of consent here too. Japan uses very ambiguous words in their laws though. Sometimes teens can be arrested for being together, sometimes they can’t. I don’t get it, but i just know it’s illegal to have sex with someone below the age of 18 if you’re over 20.
ive always wondered which way a court case would sway with an underage person raping an adult. cause by law at least in the US a minor cant consent so it automatically is rape against the minor. i guess it goes case by case but its still a wild thing to think about
