Obviously But let's talk real quick about Knives Chau and the age of consent and how the entire subplot about the morality of anybody dating her is completely ridiculous Knives Chau is 17 (and turns 18 in volume 6 meaning that for the entire story she is very nearly 18 to begin with). The age of consent in the state of Ontario is 16, meaning Knives can consent Also aside from the arbitrary morals of all of this there's even the double standard over men being predators but not women present In the comic, Kim Pine kisses Knives and I don't ever see anybody who talks about the supposed unethical nature of Scott being in his 20s and dating a 17 year old talk about the fact that Kim straight up kisses the girl, no fans ever claim she committed CSA but they call Scott a pedo (which being attracted to someone who is very nearly 18 is not) Anyway, there's two morals to this: the first is Canada is weird and the second is abolish the age of consent
