sixteen is weird because people with that age gap have gone through insanely different things, and no matter the age, the level of maturity is completely different. sixteen years is a whole person in highschool. one of the people in the relationship wasn't even a though, while one was already in highschool.
It is a big gap but: in this story they met when they are ADULTS. Not before or anything. They actually talk about it, they even broke up because of it. There is NOTHING weird in this story. Sheesh, yes it's puritanism because a story between adults is not WEIRD for fuck's sake. And I know it's stupid on my part to try to speak with people on the internet that are close minded about fictionnal characters but it's so fucking annoying
He wasn’t grooming him never even saw him in the past and your right different maturity levels which helps have different ways and values to love they are both grown adults and in fact many couples have a big gap as long if they didn’t meet when one was a minor then it’s okay your being simple minded ngl
i hope you know that it doesn’t have to be grooming to be werid, and adults can be groomed. i’m commenting on the age gap because you can’t really just ignore it. sixteen years IS weird. you can’t at the very least acknowledge that much. even if it IS normalized, that doesn’t mean it’s okay. i hope you know that adults can still be in iffy relationships.
you can acknowledge the strange age gap and still read the story. but at the same time, you can’t just say it’s completely normal, because it really isn’t. and a story between adults can still be weird. pointing something out that could potentially be harmful and unhealthy isn’t puritanism, by the way .

Is 16 years age difference not crazy to you all holy shit
