My favorite switcheroo on this type of pearl clutching is when there's a large age difference, but both are actually legally and functionally adults...as in even the younger person in the ship supports themselves and pays their own bills.

Somehow, don't ask me how, the whole "pedo" thing gets thrown around (or even better, "they're like father and daughter!"), but it's so obvious that it's all part of painting a hated 'ship as "evil" that it's ridiculous.

Then there's the variant: the older partner always gets older as the series continuous, but somehow the younger partner *never ages* and is the same age they were in the first episode.

In all seriousness, there are legit ships that make me cringe because there are some elements that do make it squicky (at least to me), but sweeping up all ships that have a 10+ year age difference when the characters met when they were already adults and there's no power imbalance between the two into the pedo bucket is insane.

This. I have a ship that I like who are about 12 years apart in age, but they're both adults. But yet people will claim that's it's pedophilia. I just shake my head and block/mute them and their vocal supporters.
