Eh. I don't know about this specific situation, but I'd take it on a case by case basis because that's not a particularly large age gap and the older both parties get, the less important it will be.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure I understand what your point is. Like... I'm not familiar with the fandom either, but it seems as though OP is presenting the specific scenario of a 17 year old dating a 23 year old, not talking about 6-year age gaps in the abstract.

[(Anonymous)]

I regret that my seemingly innocuous contribution has offended you?

[(Anonymous)]

DA--In some places the 17 year old would be over the age of consent, and the 23 year old might be quite sincere.

Also, I got whiplash with this secret. From moses to this seemed like a tangent.

OP: fandom is Ghosts of Miami

Forgot to tag

Not really, that's a pretty common age gap in real life. I wouldn't bat an eye.

[(Anonymous)]

You wouldn't bat an eye at someone who is old enough to have graduated university dating a high school student? That's not good.

[(Anonymous)]

That's not good.

Compelling argument!

[(Anonymous)]

OFGS stop with the Puritan pearl clutching. I married by OH when I was 23 and he was 39. When you have stopped fainting I will tell you we just celebrated 34 years together.

[(Anonymous)]

Last I checked, fandom goes batshit if anyone under 18 dates... well, anyone. Sexualizing minors or something.

I dated a 22yo when I was 17, and no one thought it was weird, and my parents were okay with it as long as he respected their rules and curfew, etc., which he did. But this was the 90s, and apparently it's much more transgressive these days.

It's just you and everyone that has fallen for the fear mongering bait that Tumblr shoveled out a few years ago that unfortunately spread like wildfire across the internet; no one gave a shit before then. There is no biological difference between a 17 year old and an 18 year old, especially not in FICTION (where no matter how young or old someone is, it's irrelevant because they don't actually exist and thus can't be harmed in any way). None. At all. If anyone wants to play the age card, the legal age limit arguably should be upped to around 25 instead of 18 because that's around the time the human brain has matured.

Anyway, the mentioned style of nose bothers me less than the 'rosy nose' aesthetic.

Fiction is fiction and people can write whatever they want. That being said, irl, I would be uncomfortable by a typical 17-year-old with a 23-year old. If the 17-year old were more mature for their age (had to take care of their family for years because of family circumstances or something like that) I'd be less bothered by it, but there is such a difference between a high schooler and someone who has likely been on their own (job/college) for five years.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I admit I'm a Dany fan, but I was perfectly aware that she likely wasn't going to end up on the throne (or that she likely wasn't the best candidate of the bunch. Heck, I was even okay with her dying but... everything that played out just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Suddenly the show is trying to tell us that we were supposed to see this coming? That she ~killed a bunch of people before and we only didn't midn cause they were the bad guys? Uh. May I remind them that Arya killed a whole bunch of Freys who probably also had family? And I doubt that she checked before that all of them were indeed part of the Red Wedding. How is cheering for that any different than cheering for Dany killing that dude who was about to sell her the Unsullied?

Sansa killed someone via dogs, despite having more humane options. Weren't we supposed to cheer there?

Jon hanged a young boy who saw Jon's allies (+ girlfriend) kill his entire village, including his parents. Yet no one said a word when the whole fandom rejoiced cause they thought Olly was annoying (and also took a stab at Jon I guess, amongst other grown men who likely came up with the idea).

I'm sure it will make more sense in the books. I still won't like it, but it will feel more natural.

Still, I also think the implications are overall... not good? Women weren't allowed to inherit basically based on men saying "Bitches me crazy" hundreds of years back and... now that point gets proved by both Cersei and Dany going mad and a boy ending on the throne? Idk. :/

Iiii think you meant to put this on another thread.

We were 33M and 17F when we met...

[(Anonymous)]

Didn't start dating quite immediately, as I was still married, but we did shortly after the ex and I split. Now, 8 years later, she and I are engaged.

Re: We were 33M and 17F when we met...

[(Anonymous)]

Good for you, that's creepy as shit.

Re: We were 33M and 17F when we met...

[(Anonymous)]

Given no other information, I would consider that creepy, yeah.

Re: We were 33M and 17F when we met...

[philstar22]

Yup. Going to call that creepy.

Re: We were 33M and 17F when we met...

[(Anonymous)]

Ignore the idiots calling your relationship creepy. This site has gone full tumblr, for all they claim to hate tumblr.

Re: We were 33M and 17F when we met...

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. If we were Tumblr, we would be criticizing fictional relationships between teens and adults. Fiction is okay. Real life is still creepy.

Re: We were 33M and 17F when we met...

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty sure they wouldn't be so quick yo call it creepy if it ws 33F and 17M.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not 100% comfortable with a 17 year old and a 23 year old being in a sexual relationship, but I also dont really feel like it's any of my business. I'm not living their relationship; i dont know the full nature of it - and if the law says it's acceptable then it's DEFINITELY none of my business. If I witness any abuse then it becomes my business, to the extent that I am going to wonder if there's something I can/should/need to do to help the victim and prevent further abuse. But the relationship isn't, in and of itself, inherently abusive, or even inherently unhealthy. And I think it's kind of bullheaded and disrespectful to try to control what two legally consenting people choose to do with their bodies, just because I personally feel a little doubtful about the dynamic there.

[(Anonymous)]

one thing i dont get is why anyone wants to be in a relationship with a 17 year old as a 23 year old, it feels like almost every piece of anime-inspired romance media is like this can we get some older characters up in here

[(Anonymous)]

the thing is that fictional teenagers don't act like actual teenagers. if you had to blindly guess the ages of anime characters based on their behavior and appearance you'd have a hard time figuring out who was 17 and who was 23.
