It's not a big deal. The only people complain are social justice warriors. If you were 22 and they were 25 no one would care. It's 3 years. People are brainwashed to get triggered over it. Lol it's not even their business
Okay boomer.
The difference in age between 22 and 25 is a lot less than between 19 and 16.
Its exactly the same. 3 years on paper and 4 year of duration. I don't know what lala land you're living in but it's the same numerically
The same numerically. Youβre not that obtuse, so is this a joke or are you a cringey debatelord?
numerically adverb
Doubling down on feigned obtuseness, I see.
You can take the girl out of Reddit, but canβt take the Reddit out of the girl.
You're not talking about anything. Just typing for fun
A 10 year age gap is the same numerically at age 40-50 as it is at age 10-20 but they are clearly vastly different. There's an implicit power imbalance.
So you give a whole new example. Do you want to compare an one hundred year gap now? They are different things. You just gave a more extreme example. 4 years is not much and doesn't matter
I gave a more extreme example to demonstrate that your "they are the same numerically" idea is flawed
You proved nothing. You simple made a different point using the same system in a different manner. If one bee sting doesn't kill you let me make bee stings sound more lethal by saying 200 bee stings in a row would. π₯Έ
Your critical thinking skills are somewhat lacking, I'm sorry to say
Who cares. 78% of the states in America agree with what I said, but not what with you said. The age of consent is 16 and higher (in 78% ). Now go cry in a dumpster or whatever you do in your free time
American states agreeing with you is not the strong point of logic you think it is.
Hope you have a lovely day :)
It's the same numerically, like you said.
Try moving that in the other direction though; I expect you'll eventually find pairing that makes you uncomfortable.
Who cares about your hypotheticals. We are talking about teenagers who smoke, drink, fight. They aren't 4 and 7. You all surely can comprehend this
