I also tend to use it for borderline cases, especially when it comes to the lack of any useful consensus on what counts as “underage.”

He's only ninety-nine years old and his boyfriend is 100! Age gap means it's PEDO!!!!!ELEVENTYONE!

[(Anonymous)]

There is a consensus, though: under 18.

oh look, a casual google:

"Denmark. The age of consent in the Kingdom of Denmark is 15 as specified by Section 222: § 222. Whoever has sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 15, shall be punished by imprisonment for up to 8 years, unless the situation is covered by § 216 paragraph 2."

AYRT

18 is the consensus norm on AO3 specifically.

[(Anonymous)]

I get what you’re trying to say, but anon above me is right that 18 isn’t the age of consent in most non-American countries.

Hell, 18 isn’t the age of consent in some American states!

Not even legally universal lol. And then there’s the lack of any consensus over whether it’s just supposed to apply to statutory age differences, or when both are kids, or how sexual or explicit it has to get for it to matter, etc.

Underage

This is for descriptions or depictions of sexual activity by characters under the age of eighteen (this doesn't include dating activity like kissing or vague references with no actual description/depiction). This generally applies to humans; if you are writing porn about space aliens who only live for a month or thousand year-old vampires with sixteen year-old bodies, please just use your best judgment. You are always free to specify characters' ages or to use "Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings".

I’ve consulted the AO3 policy in the past and I still find that there are vague borderline cases (or ones where there isn’t a canon age but they could be underage), and I’ve come across people who clearly don’t know where AO3 draws the line because they haven’t read the terms, which makes the policy not a consensus in any realm even if it would be fair enough to treat it as one. If I have to consider for longer than I want to whether it would apply for a significant number of people, I just choose not to warn.
