All I’m gonna say is the guy looks pretty young. Y’all should probably thirst carefully.

The pictures show medical examinations for Red Army conscripts. The first picture is dated to 1930 and the second picture is dated to 1938. At the time, the age of conscription in the USSR was apparently 19.

We literally dunk on chuds who say “ahh but you see they were barely of legal age, so it’s completely fine”

Also conscription was 18 from what I’ve read.

The fact that eighteen is not a "magic number" that sanctifies all attraction to a person, should be a fact so obvious that it should not need to be said. And so I did not say it. Don't you think people can just read the number "19" and figure out for themselves what is and isn't appropriate? Some of us happen to be in our late teens and early 20s ourselves.

Conscription age in the USSR varied between 19, to 17, to 18 at different points. It was set to 18 during the war. Is what I read on Wikipedia.

I just thought the photos were funny out of context, but as is customary in a HB thread there's one person who decides it's time to be bizarrely aggro and get themselves banned

It took me a moment to realize that HB stood for "Hexbear" and not "Hasbro" lol

But yeah that does seem to be a bit of a trend. Perhaps our life situations tend to put many of us in a bit of a qu'est-ce que c'est mood, so to speak, that has a tendency to boil over at inopportune moments...
