Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It's not illegal, but it's still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no amount of lambasting about "the problematic age gap discourse" will make it not true.

My roommates met at around those ages (apparently they met in college and didn't realize the age gap until it was too late) and honestly I thought it was messed up for awhile but now they're 23 and 30, making a life for themselves, supporting the other at their lowest and loving each other

I'd still agree with you generally, I have no plans to recreate their relationship, but it is possible for it to work out

I've seen similar situations as well. Context is always important, so weird absolutist takes like OP's miss that completely. Some situations would be fine, some would be inappropriate, but it's not all or nothing.

Yeah. If they were a couple I vaguely knew about over twitter, id probably disapprove, but some things you can only tell by knowing them
