Yeah, this seems like a big ol' "duh" to me. I'll take the hypothetical even further. What if an 18 year old and 48 year old are in a consensual relationship that isn't based on power or manipulation and isn't hurting anybody else? Why should anyone else care? People in general just seem to have a hard time letting other people do what makes them happy when they wouldn't do it themselves.

Please see u/IIAOPSW's previous reply to you. I'll repeat a variation of their question: why exactly is it morally reprehensible, in your view, for an 18 year old to be in a relationship with another older adult? Again, assume the relationship isn't based on power or manipulation or anything like that—just two people with an age gap who swiped right on Tinder and met up.
