What's wrong with it?

[(Anonymous)]

Power differential, on so many levels.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks. I knew pasty!dude was a robot and thought that might have been the squick.

What the anon above me said, with the elaboration that Picard is kind of the main person who teaches Data about how humans behave, about what various specific human actions convey which various specific meanings, and what kinds of things are appropriate/encouraged in what kinds of relationships.

Because Data has no instinctive idea of how humans are supposed to behave towards one another to indicate their feelings, but he really really really wants to act like a proper human, please his friends, and trusts Picard's advice about how to behave like a human pretty much unquestioningly.

Think about that for a while, and red flags start popping up ;)

I don't know - in a way it might parallel a real sort of May-December relationship, which, maybe not so much anymore but maybe more so in previous generations, existed in the gay community. It sounds a lot like the relationship you described above.

DA

Welp, that'd explain why I find relationship with large age gaps so squicky.

Re: DA

[(Anonymous)]

Curious - how large a gap is too large?

Re: DA

[(Anonymous)]

It depends on the ages of the two involved. If one is a teen, I'll find it squicky if the other part is more than 4-5 years older. If one is in their twenties, I'll probably not be charmed if the other is old enough to be their parent. I've been on a shoujo binge this summer, and let's just say I've had my fill of sixteen year old girls marrying their twenty something teachers.
