It's not a big gap when you're an adult, but I can see being squicked by it because the younger half is that young-- for a lot of people, 17 is underage, and even when it's not a legality question and not a matter of the older half being remotely pedophilic, I mean... Like, I've known couples with that age gap AT that age, and there are kind of two ways I've seen it go.

The best and healthiest didn't have the common problems of the older half abusing a position of social power or just taking advantage of having eight more years of life/love experience, but the people involved had different sets of cultural touchstones and that was really the difficult thing. Had they both been older, they wouldn't have been so divided on that, but it's kind of a crucial point for a gap like that. 25's not that old, but when you're 17, the 8 year gap between you and a 25 year old is nearly half of your own age. Meanwhile, a 25 year old and a 33 year old would have the same size gap, but it doesn't feel as big.

Not saying fictional ships need to be affected by real world concerns, of course, just that I can see how some people wouldn't feel they could get past it.
