I wondered that myself as I was writing Venom. In a story where girls are wed or otherwise urged/forced to reproduce as soon as they're physically able, it might ignite some people's wrath regardless. In my story, the human population is dwindling. I can't help but think governments would lower the age of consent if such conditions came about. In my story, that age is 14. In another story, it could be different.
As long as it's not kiddie pron masquerading as a story where the age of consent was low for a legitimate reason, I'd like to think it's not really an issue.
