    I also don’t use Twitter, Instagram or TikTok because they’re terrible.

    I also don’t quite understand why a 20-year-old dating a 23-year-old is contentious. There’s no age gap at all. Who exactly is having a problem with this?

    He sounds like a perfectly normal person who just doesn’t read the news.

      Somewhat well adjusted, untouched by the corrupt hands of those unfamiliar with the prickly sting of fresh grass.

      He said “you already know that bothers a subsection of the population”.

      Not that anyone actually did, that was in his imagination.

        Oh it bothers a certain kind of chronically online person. Tbf it’s a very small number of people, but they do exist, and are quite loud

          What do they find an acceptable age range then? 6 months but no more?

        Ok…but that’s not the scenario in question.

        I mean, fuck, imagine if he beats her and killed her dog. We can “imagine” things all day.

          It’s not but one is an adult and shouldn’t be in a relationship with the kid

                That’s not true. About half the states in the US have “Romeo and Juliet” laws to protect couples in this situation. For example, when my husband and I started dating I was 19 and he was 16, and that age gap was perfectly legal in my state.

            Yeah but this is only happening in your made-up story that didn’t happen and isn’t relevant to what we’re talking about, so why you going on about it?

            Maybe not in the republic of Mormon land but fuck you retard. I had the best time in my life at that age, guess what I was the 16 y.o. part.

        In my native country that’s perfectly fine as well, if the age gap is less than 5 years and one is less than 18 they are literally both kids, whether one of them has passed an imaginary line or not. This is just being pedantic. You will reply “uhhh so an 18 years old should be able to date a 13 years old?” completely ignoring that a 17 yo can anyway date a 12 yo without any problem. What are we even talking about? At that age parents should supervise them anyway
