Re: What has made you eyeroll in regards to fandom recently?

I'd get it if one character is early thirties and the other is pushing fifty

See, that wouldn't even be weird to me because once you get out of school and into the working world, age really stops being such a big thing. I'm in my 30s and I have friends ranging all the way from their 20s into their 60s. Some of them I met at work, some of them I met through hobbies, some I met through local channels, but in every case we've got enough in common in our lives that we have no problems relating to each other despite the age differences.

DA - I'm old, and I wouldn't even notice that sort of thing in fiction but in real life it's definitely weird. Not 'red flag' weird, just regular weird.I do know one couple who made it work long-term, but know a lot more who thought they were going to be in it for the long haul only to realize that there was just too big a gap in where they were in their lives and what they needed in a relationship.

Maybe for you, but that doesn't necessarily apply to everyone. Even if they're all in "the working world" people who are decades apart in age are (usually) going to be in different stages of their lives and won't necessarily have much in common/be able to relate to each other easily.

AYRT

Kinda echoing the anons above me, I think it can vary from person to person. I work with people my parents' age, I work with people a generation older and younger. And I'm cool, maybe even friends with all of them. And we certainly have shared interests etc. But I know very well if I was to find myself in relationship with someone...almost twenty years older than me, there may very well be generational and cultural differences between us that maybe I can bridge, on account of exposure to my older cousins/aunt's & uncles or parents. It's still an age difference, in the same way someone who was 20 told me we were basically the same age when I was 28. I had to disagree with them lol. I barely remember 20, but I can tell you I was different and my perceptions and stage of life was different than what it was at 28. It's different stages and people experience and mature in different stages ( you can be 49 and still have the emotional maturity of a 15 year old and you can very well be 23 and have experienced all kinds of things in such a short period that forced you to grow up quickly).
