pic related in op. it should be socially acceptable for a man in public to say he finds a 14 year+ girl sexually attractive. outside of pornography, it shouldn't be controversial to portray teenagers in a sexualized way (like how is done in anime, or even older tv shows). it's just realism, some 15 or 16 year old chick walking around in skimpy clothes talking about guys they want to go out (and probably hook up) with shouldn't be considered the same a child who just wants to eat candy and play baseball or w/e.  such an opinion wouldn't be controversial in the 1950s and shouldn't be today.
