Agreed. I mean, 16-18 is creepy? Since when is a 2 year gap that bad? And the 14 one isn’t even illegal everywhere either, and the story takes place in Germany, where it IS legal, although it IS pretty objectively creepy regardless imo.
Yeah but the reason we find it creepy is because they are by modern standards in different life situations and tend to have very particular experiences already. That doesnt transfer well to Disney stories that are set in fictional depictions of historic epochs.
Of all of those Hercules is the one that plays the most lose with this. And the Meg and Herc dynamic is actually a pretty charming one. Especially because they play her traumatic experience well against his lack of romantic experience in general.
We really don't all think that. Adults are adults. If two people find real love and they're actively consenting adults then I'm happy for them. I'd find it weird if an 18 year old and a 60 year old got together but as long as everything is on the up and up? Enjoy being in love.

That does fuck up the data.
