      I was going to be sort of indifferent to that, but in advance someone had to chant "touch grass" and cite a 50+ year old theocrat from antiquity (and omit that theocrat's 9 year old child bride) as an example of everything being on the up and up as long as it's culturally acceptable.

      Weren't all the excesses of the Sun Kings and the Czars also "culturally acceptable" until they weren't? :thinkin-lenin:

          Because I wanted to describe the comment interaction. :yes:

          I don't even disagree with your take really but why the fuck did the OP's first replies drift into the magical realm of justifying literal child brides right of the bat? :sus-torment:

      I keep seeing people refer to this as a struggle session, but I must have missed it. I've never seen anyone on this site argue that adults shouldn't be allowed to date each other

      I've seen it called creepy when somebody's dating pool doesn't age with them. But it is creepy, and I don't think they care. If they do care, then it's funnier
