But secondly, becoming 18 doesn’t suddenly make one any less vulnerable to exploitation than a 17 year old who is 1 day away from becoming 18.
Just because someone is 18 and ‘legal’, it doesn’t make it not gross for a 40 year old to date them. It’s an improvement from dating a 15 year old, but gross regardless.
It really is none of your business what consenting adults get up to. There are people vulnerable to exploitation at all ages, it isn’t your job to police them.
First off, fuck pedophiles.
