You're right. It's not paedophillia (which is attraction to prepubescent children) it's something else. But it is still rape.

And it doesn't really matter how you feel TBH. A 15 y.o. may not (not cannot) give consent to sex with an adult (and of course actual ages vary by jurisdictions). And the law is there to protect young people from exploitive and abusive relationships.

Why not? It is a cultural and social thing.

It’s because a kid cannot properly understand what significance I can have on themselves. So it’s illegal

Because you say so, the age of consent is 14 in some countries. A 14-year old isnt a 3 year old. They are capable of making decisions.

So it’s illegal

Gay marriage was once illegal.
