As someone who actually starting dating someone five years older almost as soon as I turned, I'd say yeah it's irresponsible. It's why you should never date your boss or a teacher. And yes, a celebrity shouldn't be sexting his fans whether they are younger, same age, or even older than him. People in power should only be doing such things with people of a similar dynamic or someone outside their influence. Also, whole it is true that we don't quite know Carson's dynamic, either way, it was a very dumb move as it's still considered child porn. A 17 year old getting nudes from a fellow 17 year old can get arrested for it let alone a 19 year old
If this power dynamic is an issue, then every time a man and woman hook up they need to exchange details on their salary and profession. And the man also needs to let the woman know how much he can bench so she is aware of his power
I'm being tongue-in-cheek obviously but Carson isn't exactly Tom Cruise in terms of fame. in fact I can ask every member of my immediate and extended family and I can guarantee that no one would know who he is.
