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.

I mean, it kind of feels like you're trying to gaslight people that were in perfectly harmless and healthy relationships into thinking that they need to see themselves as somehow sick / dirty / impure / sinners. So yes, it could be harmful. If Christianity can have negative effects on people's view of sex, then secular over-policing and internet with hunts can have the same effect.
My entire post is about how I don't think 19 and 26 is healthy age gap.
