> To say “two 14 year olds had entirely consensual sex with eachother” seems to possibly express that the occurrence described is not unfortunate.

Isn't that just a misreading though? You're applying a connotation that isn't there. Many of us don't associate "consensual" with "A-ok" (e.g. I'm anti-pornography).



Good point. Though, I didn’t mean to say that there was a clear connotation, just, like, a possible/weak one. Maybe the insertion of the word “entirely” is what creates the weak connotation? And that word wasn’t used in the comment I was replying to, so my comment is probably moot.
