So, my good friend (18m) had a falling out with his ex (19m) because the ex bullied him and also because he is apparently dating a 16f, so my friend thinks he is a pedophile for obvious reasons (adult + minor).
I can see why this would be considered bad but also, when I turn 16, my girlfriend will be 19 too, as I am currently a young sophomore who is about 3 years younger than her girlfriend, a senior.
The difference in age between 22 and 25 is a lot less than between 19 and 16.

The same numerically. You’re not that obtuse, so is this a joke or are you a cringey debatelord?

Doubling down on feigned obtuseness, I see.
You can take the girl out of Reddit, but can’t take the Reddit out of the girl.

The age difference is about 20% smaller if you add 5 years. Development doesn’t happen linearly, though, so the difference is even bigger.
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.

I gave a more extreme example to demonstrate that your “they are the same numerically” idea is flawed

Your critical thinking skills are somewhat lacking, I’m sorry to say

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.
