A multiple centuries old man falls in love with an infant. A multiple centuries old man falls in love with a high school student. Also, the entire plot happens in 2 years. It's just really creepy, makes me uncomfortable. Discourages me how popular that shit was.
Hate to be pedantic about a topic like this, but Jacob, the guy who falls in love with a baby (if that's the event you describe), is around 16
I honestly don't care. There's no difference. 16 year old age gap is crazy even for adults. Sometimes, it's best to leave the "erm akshuallys" in your head.
I certainly feel like there is an age where it’s not relevant anymore. With that said, and you can call me crazy, I also don’t feel like any age, let alone an age gap, is appropriate for a baby.
Fair enough. I suppose if they're consenting adults, hopefully not barely legal, it's fine. But if a 16 year old rapes a baby, that's a monster. An 18 year old rapes a 2 year old, equally monstrous. 34 year old and an 18 year old? Ehhhh, not the best, but legal I guess. 50 and 34, that's just a normal 2nd marriage. But those last two only work if neither participant knew each other from before one of them was legal. Cause that's grooming. Slightly unrelated, Batman and Barbara Gordon being together has the same problem. He knew her when she was 13 and he was a grown man. Then he fucks her. Weird, very bad.
What the fuck?
