I swear something about how “age gap discourse” has seeped into the public consciousness has caused people to adopt what are actually incredibly uptight and weird opinions about sex/dating as “moderate.” The overton window shift here was alarming…. Because we have crazies saying that 5 years is excessive the default opinion people have about the subject is now something to the effect of “any age gap of 7 years or more between two well adjusted adults is highly suspect” and it’s like dude what we doing here. The minimum for when it’s automatically a little weird used to be like…18 years, “old enough to have been your parent” age. Now everyone’s playing in “old enough to be your favorite cousin” territory! I don’t even think people are adopting this as a hardline stance and that’s almost worse…unhalf those numbers NOW!! Especially GAY PEOPLE in their MID 30s
