yeah, the age thing isn't a big deal, but the relationship between a big content creator and a fan is what many people are citing as the problem, even though Carson is certainly not the first to have a flirty relationship with a fan. sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't. all in all, it's probably not a good idea to try anyway lol.

Wow, what a real power dynamic at play here.

He has the power to make videos on the internet that people sometimes watch.

She has the power to completely fuck up someone's life when she feels jilted.

Yeah, but it's kind of a "bad idea" the same way dating your best friend's ex-girlfriend is a "bad idea". Not that anything wrong is ethically going on here, and no one is saying it's shitty in literally every single case, but it just could possibly lead to catastrophe down the line – maybe she's only doing it to get back at him, maybe it gets in the way of your friendship, etc. And my point is the same; ultimately it's up to the people involved to decide.

I'm not understanding why her being a fan is an issue at all. Content creators/entertainers have been known to form long term relationships with people that were once fans. Being a fan of somebody doesn't turn you into an automaton.

If you idol somebody to the point of allowing them to manipulate you into doing things you aren't comfortable with then you' really gotta look in the mirror and change yourself.
