UPDATED VERSION BASED ON FEEDBACK:
I feel like it’s a little more clear and uses mainstream terms. Also, great suggestion from @marxisthayaca@hexbear.net to highlight the beauty pageant stuff. Most people are grossed out by child beauty pageants for good reason, and this is especially true on sites like reddit if anyone is planning to share it there.
At the risk of sounding suspicious, which states have actually lowered the age of consent? I just haven’t heard of them actually doing it.
Idk if any states have lowered the age of consent, but there’s been several examples of republican politicians opposing anti-child marriage laws at the state level.
Two I can think of off the top of my head:

https://amp.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article288424893.html
Adding to this, TN Proposed a straight common law marriage law with no age minimum (it was amended to have a minimum age of 17 and did not pass)

Maybe I could have worded that better, but I guess I was referring to some chuds (likely of the libertarian variety) who complain about age of consent laws. Building on other suggestions here, maybe I’ll change it to “Conservative chuds defending child marriage laws and forcing kids to participate in beauty pageants” Does that sound better?
I mean, you can make the meme whatever you want. I think it’s good how it is, I just misunderstood and was curious. I don’t mean to be a bother or critical or anything. But it’s very considerate of you.
I did ask for feedback, and you gave me some great constructive feedback.
I want the meme to be as good as possible, so thanks for helping me out with that.
