Wait, you wouldn't do that if it wasn't for the LCS?

It's not a matter of 13-year-olds choosing to sell their body on the street. It's a matter of forcing prepubescent 7-year-olds to do so. If you want to liberate the poor masses and sell them on the street, you can still do that with normal sweatshop workers. I don't intend to ever add an option to rape hostages into the game, and forcing children into sex slavery is similar. There's nothing even remotely Liberal about it, and even the LCS would know that.

Realistically, enslaving prepubescent children into prostitution would not merely get the LCS in trouble with the law, it would utterly destroy its Liberal credibility and pretty much ruin your chances to win the game by any measure. LCS is extremely lenient with child characters. I seriously debated making them unrecruitable at one time, since I couldn't see a use for them that makes sense, but decided against it.

As it stands, if you want to strap an AK-47 to a kid's chest and send them into combat like an Ivory Coast warlord, you can. It's ridiculous and out of theme, but you can. The only catch is that they can't drop pickup lines or engage in prostitution. Once they're teenagers, that rule is waived.

Wait, there are actual children younger than 13 in the game? I don't think I've even seen them. o,O I guess they don't hang out where I do. =[

They spawn as child workers in polluting factories when labor laws are C+, or as a very rare spawn at C.

I haven't tried it, but can we prostitute guard dogs, genetic monsters, and tanks?

I didn't put any restrictions other than "no skill gain" on guard dogs and genetic monsters (you still can't recruit tanks). I will probably give them a suitably short lifespan though, and have them either put down or adopted if they get arrested by the police. At the moment, I'm still wavering between adding more restrictions (no weapons, no activities, special recruitment text, special attacks only) or removing the skill gain restriction and hand-waiving everything similar to Brian from Family Guy.

I kinda want to see dogs and monsters be fully-functioning squad members, complete with pick-up lines.  Of course, they're lifespan shouldn't exceed 20 years, so that limits their usefulness in the long term.

Also, they should bite instead of punch in unarmed combat.

Crazy idea: Instead of either fully functional or nonfunctional, why not go halfway. Dogs and mutants can equip anything but not always use them in lieu of their unarmed attack. However they are innately skilled with weapons when the do fire, resulting in good damage every time. Flavor text for Guard Dog using a gun, "Guard dog accidentally pulls the trigger of the shotgun, blowing his former master's head off." Not sure of the mutants flavor text though.

Fun fact:  In the current version, dogs and monsters live forever.  They will not eventually die of old age.

This. Remember that Brian can still drop pickup lines and engage in prostitution.

7 year olds, 13 year olds, and 40 year olds all have the exact same say in the matter of whoring themselves - they dont. Age is irrelevant.

Also, you probably shouldnt ever use realism as an example to add/remove something in this particular game. It isnt realistic. Its over the top, and very hilarious.

I guess it really doesnt matter. The next update cant be so damned important that its worth giving up my 12 child whores for. Now if only they would stop getting busted!
