I'm reading Solaris by Stanislaw Lem after watching Tarkovsky's beautiful film and the motherfucking 40 something year old protagonist had a god damn 19 year old wife god fucking dammit fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuckfuclfuckfuckfuck im so fucking pissed right now WHY?????? WHYYYYYY
I was so happy getting into this shit and then page 53 BAM "she was 19" fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck fuck fuck fuck

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT FUCK FUCK FUCK RRRAAAAAHAHSJDJAJAKAKGHKMMAKAKAK :blob-on-fire: :blob-stabby:
In a non-capitalist society it would make even less sense. Seeing as how men might not feel insecure with women of their age, or the same caliber as them.
The older I get, and having had two children and a 13 year old adopted sister. I couldn't imagine dating a 19 year old, it just feels alien...
I legit don’t think any man, woman or non-binary person is 100% unfucklable.
Power dynamics can be easily addressed with cybernetic augmentation, so you can download wisdom to make up for the gap in years, and command respect from your partner with the laser cannon grafted to your sternum
I have not read the book but looked up the passage out of curiousity. The character is referring to the last time he saw her, which was more than ten years previous; she is 29 when mentioned. So married at 30-something and 19, or before. She is introduced with a description of her breasts, so not to disagree that the author is a strange 70s polish pervert. But it doesn't seem to be exactly as you say.
In Crime and Punishment, iirc, the main character kills an old woman. That was so mean and really I don't think people aughta do that. I stopped reading after that. Killing old ladies is wrong in any context and this obsession the author has with it is really revealing
Killing old ladies is wrong in any context
oh im sorry are you challenging me to create a trolley problem
DATE SOMEONE WHO ISNT A CHILD YOU GOD DAMN FUCKING NERDS :stop-posting-amogus:
I won't defend the author because I know nothing about them personally. As far as personal experience goes, I'm AMAB identify as a man, my partner is +31 years on me :shrug-outta-hecks:
dear space reddit is our age gap too creepy between me (38/M) and my gf (3D-printed from biostock 43 minutes ago/F) y/n
Sitting back and watching round three of the power dynamics “is it ok for a 19 year old to date a 28 year old?” struggle session
At least 19 y/o with a 28 y/o had a shred of ambiguity, the 19y/o with a 48y/o and this one are borderline :libertarian-approaching: shit
this seems like an unreasonable amount of passion to feel about this to me but its your life feel how you will
Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Getting Mad Over A Book Real Hahahaha Fella Just Walk Away From The Book Like Fella Close Your Eyes Haha
Did the book ever mention Kelvin's age?
I only remember it saying Harey would have been 29 when the story took place.
There's a fuckiglng gulf between being a prude and being suspicious that a 19 year old is involved with a 30 year old. Yes. Your friends are DEFINITELY manipulated.
Lol based on the beef between Tarkovsky and Lem i was never really interested in the book anyway.
Ah. See op, you can tell easily that this is a reddit spin off because we also have lots of groomers. And you've called all of them.
