I will give you grace for asking me directly instead of headcanoning me. I did Not say that 18 + 20 is inherently predatory My original post was about how Making MULTIPLE posts along the lines of "everyone overreacts so badly about 2 year age gaps" enables the behaviour of predatory people Specially when you make that kind of posts When someone IS being called out for being predatory. Chewy was allowed to groom three of his victims Because everyone justified him saying stuff like "omfg why is anon so angry about a ltiny lil agehap!" normalizing that to his victims! Scott is enabled to make sexually explicit jokes about his friends because "omg they arent even that younger!".

If you Know your relationship is Not Predatory (as it is a nuance depending entirely of the context of it) Theres No point of going "everyone that calls me predatory is stupid" because You know you are a healthy person. You Dont know that Everyone else is also healthy.

Do you want me to even put examples? A late 18 yo with a fresh 20 year old is generally ok. But what if that 18 and 20 year old started as a 17 year old dating a 15 year old? Are you willing to defend a 17 year old dating a 21 year old? That is the kind of territory you get into by saying "THERES NO WAY A 2 YEARS AGE GAP IS PROBLEMATIC!!!!!!!!"

Even I (me!) was a 20 year old dating a 18 year old until two weeks ago. But no one around me was weirded out because they know we started as a 15/16 couple. But i recognize Not every couple is in the same situation! Thats why i defended myself by saying "You dont know the context of my relationship!" instead of "LMAOOOO YOU MUST BE STUPID FOR THINKING THAT A TINY AGE GAP COULD POSSIBLY BE WEIRD 😂😂😂😂😂ignoring that sometimes the 18 year old is a high schooler dating a whole college student with a job! (completely different maturity zone!)

Do you guys Get what i Mean? Do you want me to give More examples? Do you want me to Put my brain into Chat Gpt to give you a Slop justification for my Reasoning with Subway Surfers on the Side? Are you guys going to come back to my inbox in 4 months saying "omfg we were so wrong yugioh sorry for not hearing you out just because you talk funny and are brain damaged and dislexic and not a english speaker and jobless and moneyless and

THIS STARTED WITH ME GIVING MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE WORDING OF A POST! I didnt even Go to Maria's inbox to tell him "Ofmg you NEED to break up with your partner now" I didnt even Have a Problem wih the relatioship at all because I assumed Maria is a Responsible Adult that wouldnt twist my Words!
