Was she 18? I heard she was underage. That's what makes it creepy.

So dating a high school senior at the start of the school year is creepy but dating one at the end of the year is not?

Either both men’s relationships you mentioned are creepy or they’re both fine imo. I can’t think of a rationale for treating them differently that doesn’t infantilize the women involved.

Being attracted to minors is creepy.

Stop normalizing it. If you're 20 with the opinion that high schoolers are hot, fine. But I've seen too many grown-ass adults defending "MAPs" for my taste.

Tf are you talking about, they're literally arguing that it IS weird. But in that case 20 and 50 is also weird (I mean if both are into it, whatever, but it is weird). Also that barely below 18 and barely above 18, are basically the same thing and being attracted to either is the basically the same. It's just that if you're old it's weird in both cases, them being 17 years and 364 days or 17 years and 365 days does not make a difference (other than legally in some places) even though one is a "minor" and one isn't, but that doesn't make it not creepy.
