Re: A popular ship in my fandom…

[(Anonymous)]

No, because Minor/Adult could mean 17/19.

You'll have to be more specific than this.

Re: A popular ship in my fandom…

[(Anonymous)]

OP-

okay... the minor, as said, a teenager- and the adult is a few hundreds of years old and looks somewhere in his twenties.

Better?

So like Edward/Bella, a hugely popular ship in a huge fandom full of all sorts of people young and old?

I think you'll find the answer is overwhelmingly "no"

OP -

I'm not familiar with twilight (and the ship is no canon) but in the fandom most characters are either teenagers or hundreds of years old.

The thing is- why isn't it wrong? There are people who ship them as their canon ages and I think it's a little creepy. So what difference does a couple of years make if there is still such a huge gap between them?

Re: A popular ship in my fandom…

(DA) The fact that it's fictional makes the difference for most people, I guess.

Age gaps aren't wrong, manipulation and taking advantage of the younger partner are.

There are plenty of couples with huge age gaps between them that love each other deeply and respect each other and have an amazing relationship.

So, like Buffy/Angel?

DA: I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with big age differences. Whether it's a 16 year old and a 30 year old or a 17 year old and a 500 year old. Summer/Winter relationships are a thing in real life that work very well for some people too. Greater age can mean greater experience in some ways, so there will be some imbalance, but younger partners have plenty to contribute in the relationship.

I personally find these kinds of couples fascinating. Of course it will also depend on how they're written. If they love and respect each other and work hard to hash out the issues that come with the age difference, perfect. If the older one dominates the relationship because their partner is portrayed as too young and innocent to know this, that or the other thing, no.

sixteen and a thirty year old? That's extremely skeevy to me personally. Like an adult taking advantage of a child for sexual gratification.

Re: A popular ship in my fandom…

AYRT: I was mostly using it for examples sake as 16 is a pretty common age of consent. Though I have seen a similar gap work for one pairing, I usually go with pairings where one character is 100's of years old: but as I mentioned, the couple would need to love and respect each other and be actively acknowledging and working through the age gap issues for me to read fic about it. If there was anything close to the older partner taking advantage of their partner or fetishizing the younger one's age I would back-button immediately. Also, there are some people/characters that are just more mature by 16 who do better with older partners.

Re: A popular ship in my fandom…

[othellia]

So like Doctor/Rose in which the age gap was first 19/900 (looks 40ish), and then 20/901(looks 30ish?)?
