It's not illegal, but it's still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no amount of lambasting about "the problematic age gap discourse" will make it not true.

    But I hate this whole “it should be legal but also like not okay”

    Nah I personally am fine with this. The law should be seperate on certain matters. Like I think certain things are a bad influence on society or immoral, yet I don't want them banned or made a crime. Like cheating in a relationship, I think that's immoral, but it shouldn't be illegal.

        People here are advocating that actual social action be taken against individuals who date people significantly younger than them

        People do that as well when someone cheats. How many people fantasise about vigilante justice in cases like this, it's a common trope in films, books and TV shows.

        Something can be in a morally grey area without it being illegal. I just don't think the legal system should get involved with this kind of thing when everyone involved is an adult.
